Also, some DSA switches have a VLAN-unaware FDB, and if the bridge is

Sorry, imprecise language. I shouldn't have expressed this in terms of
"VLAN-unaware" and "VLAN-aware", but rather, in terms of "Shared VLAN
learning" and "Independent VLAN learning". Where the software bridge
implementation uses IVL, certain switches might use SVL.
