seems there are quite some code getting ignore if it does now work properly:
```
cat microstack/snap-overlay/bin/setup-br-ex
#!/bin/bash
#
# Oneshot daemon which creates a networking bridge.
#
# Creates br-ex, and sets up an ip address for it. We put this in a
# oneshot so that the ip address persists after reboot, without
# needing to add networking entries to the host system. (We want this
# to work well when we turn off classic confinement.)

set -ex
extcidr=$(snapctl get config. network. ext-cidr)
# Create external integration bridge
ovs-vsctl --retry --may-exist add-br br-ex

ip address add $extcidr dev br-ex || :
ip link set br-ex up || :
sudo iptables -w -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $extcidr ! \
-d $extcidr -j MASQUERADE || :
exit 0
```
the || : seems to alias to || true and return a 0 on failure. /superuser. com/questions/ 1022374/ what-does- mean-in- the-context- of-a-shell- script

Is this really what we want here if some networking setup of the br-ex encountered some issues?
