QinQ feature requests

1) The current Q settings on Netonix switches add 0x0x88a8 tags to the existing 0x8100 tags. This is incompatible with a lot of other network gear, i.e cisco, that expects double 0x8100 tags. Being able to set the ethertype to 0x8100 would dramatically increase compatibility. Might want to add 0x9100, 0x9200, and 0x9300 while your at it.

2) Being able to set the S and C vlan on a port would be useful for applications where you have a direct connection to a customer off of the switch. i.e an untagged packet comes in port X and has two tags added. on egress out of port X, two tags are popped.

This is a little more involved and can be accomplished with a physical loopback but it uses two ports on the switch. i.e P1 set to U1001, P2 set to U1002 and then a loopback on ports 3 and 4 with port 3 set to T 1001,1002 and port 4 set to Q 500 would put C VLAN 1001 and 1002 on S VLAN 500. Being able to do this with virtual ports on the switch would be useful.

To be clear, this is working as per the 802.1ad standard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1ad). The inner tag (C-TAG) is 0x8100, the outer tag (S-TAG) is 0x88a8.

Will look into making this configurable to allow interoperability with other equipment that do not follow the standard.
