Now I'm wondering if the server can remember all the MAC addresses and IPs the bridge "learnt" before rebooting.
No. That's why it's called a 'learning' bridge.
Everytime I restart the server, the bridge has to learn all the MACs and IPs all over again which takes a while with only 3 PCs connected to the bridge. I have a feeling it would take longer if there were >30 PCs!
It only takes on packet from a box, and it knows what port it's on - Hardly a major undertaking.
