This is to keep system behavior consistent with before by default.

In this case, the addition of these rules will fail.  Such as in the 
example, the addition of rule (1), (2), (4) will fail if 
intercept_layer2 is not set.
Layer 2 rules and ipfilter rules that depend on layer2 processing will 
only be able to be added after the intercept_layer2 is set, and these 
rules will be flushed when the flag is unset.
