Thanks for sharing feedback, I have sent a patch v3 addressing this.
I save the initial state of the feature and set it back after I toggle it.

I did the same, I have added a veth pair in case if the network device
in the positional argument is not there. If it's there and just a bad

the veth pair in those cases as well for testing.

I have sent patch v3 here, please review:
