Nope. To sum up the driver will use "private" VLANs for the port
separation. That will lead to certain restrictions. These are:
* Private VLANs cannot be used by the user or other kernel modules (one
per port)
* Mixed vlan_filtering bridges are not supported, as there's only a
global VLAN awareness flag (ds->vlan_filtering_is_global)
* vlan_filtering=0 bridges and having standalone ports is not
supported
* Same VLANs on top of standalone ports such as lan0.100 and lan1.100
will break port separation and are also not supported
Most of these restrictions are not important at the moment, because
there are only two user ports. Either they're in a bridge or not. The
"mixed" cases are interesting.
However, as Vladimir suggested, I'll point these limitation to the hw
engineers when they start to develop these switches with more than two
user ports.
Hope that summary makes it clear.
Thanks,
Kurt
