Hi,
Fast leave and EHT (as that's v3's fast leave version) are about quickly
converging when
a leave is received (e.g. when there are no listeners to quickly remove the
mdb). They
don't deal with interface states (IIUC). Why don't you just flush the
port's mdb entries
on disconnect? That would stop fwding.
Cheers,
Nik
