I'll let Ido answer here. As I said, the model I'm working with is that
of autonomous learning, so for me, no. Whereas the Spectrum model is
that of secure learning. I expect that it'd be pretty useless to set up
software assisted secure learning if you're just going to say yes and
learn all addresses anyway. I've never seen Spectrum documentation, but
I would be shocked if it wouldn't be able to be configured to operate in
the bare-bones autonomous learning mode too.

Hi,

Yes, you are correct. It can support automatic learning, but it was
never enabled. We update the software bridge about learned FDB entries
(unlike DSA I think?), so secure learning makes sense in our case.
