Indeed, I intentionaly set the port mode to Secure to work on 802.1q.
For both cases, the Fallback mode should be enough; this mode checks the
VTU for a valid entry, otherwise checks the port-based VLAN map.

Supporting port-based VLAN looks like another tricky thread.

Ideally, this must be configurable. In my case I do need strict 802.1q.
Can ethtool/iproute2 can do something about the port 802.1q mode?

Thanks,
