After you install {op-system-first} and the system reboots, the Machine Config Operator injects Ignition configuration files into each node in your cluster, so that each node received the `br-ex` bridge network configuration.

The OpenShift SDN network plugin was removed in {product-title} 4.17 but some reserved interface names, such as `br0`, were not removed because {product-title} uses the names for internal use only. If you attempt to use one of these reserved names on a new bridge interface that interacts with a customized `br-ex` bridge, the `nmstate` API fails and outputs an error message that shows the `state` parameter for the bridge name set to `Ignore`.
54+
55+
The NetworkManager service does not manage these reserved names and the `nmstate` API cannot create or delete a bridge interface that uses one of these reserved names.
