+ The <code>standalone</code> mode can create forwarding loops on a
+ bridge that has more than one uplink port unless STP is enabled. To
+ avoid loops on such a bridge, configure <code>secure</code> mode or
+ enable STP (see <ref column="stp_enable"/>).

<p>When more than one controller is configured,
<ref column="fail_mode"/> is considered only when none of the
configured controllers can be contacted.</p>
