Bridge on top of Bond not getting the Bond's MAC address (networkd)

Hello everyone,

I recently changed my networking setup from an active-passive bond to a bridge interface on top of the bond in order to be able to provide a bridge to VMs.

I saw that the bridge was getting a random MAC address instead of inheriting the MAC address I had set manually in the bond.netdev file.

I believe that is a regression since the bridge is supposed to inherit the MAC of the interface (not sure if it applies to bonds as well or only to physical interfaces): https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12558

As a result, I think I had problems with intermittent connectivity and stuff like NFS not working properly. I have now manually set the MAC to be the same as the bond's MAC in the bridge.network file.

Is this something that should be reported upstream?

Thank you.
