EVPN-MH uplink command not fully working correctly (protodown not supported)
Open, LowPublic

Description

The EVPN-MH uplink command isn't working fully since protodown doesn't seem to be supported. This appears to be system wide for all NICs, and not just specific NICs.

How to test:

vyos@vyos:~$ sudo ip link set dev eth0 protodown on
Error: Protodown not supported by device.
