What I did
Why I did it
After PR #3370, the Bridge becomes operationally UP after the dummy interface is started up. As a result, all VLAN interfaces created under the Bridge are immediately operationally UP after creation. This can cause an issue later if their MAC address is changed since the kernel does not update the link-local IPv6 address of an interface if it is operationally UP. This behavior caused the IPv6 version of the following test cases in sonic-mgmt to fail for the dualtor topology, which were temporarily skipped:
