[ovs-discuss] change configuration of VLAN access port

[Matthias Waehlisch]

... i was able to change the configuration using "ovs-vsctl set port 
xyz vlan_mode=native-untagged" but the virtual switch still sends 
packets that include a vlan tag on the access port instead of removing 
the tag. this is quite confusing ...




thanks
