367 | on the RX direction - by default the packet will be untagged before being | |

369 | to hide VLAN header on ingress so the packet looks like regular Ethernet packet, | |

919 | - This mode gives more power to a single endpoint, usually in | |
920 | .BR macvtap " mode. It is not allowed for more than one endpoint on the same " | |
921 | physical interface. All traffic will be forwarded to this endpoint, allowing | |
922 | virtio guests to change MAC address or set promiscuous mode in order to bridge | |
923 | the interface or create vlan interfaces on top of it. By default, this mode | |
924 | forces the underlying interface into promiscuous mode. Passing the | |
925 | .BR nopromisc " flag prevents this, so the promisc flag may be controlled " | |
926 | using standard tools. | |

929 | - allows one to set a list of allowed mac address, which is used to match | |
930 | against source mac address from received frames on underlying interface. This | |
931 | allows creating mac based VLAN associations, instead of standard port or tag | |
932 | based. The feature is useful to deploy 802.1x mac based behavior, | |
933 | where drivers of underlying interfaces doesn't allows that. | |
