The main use-case of switch NI with multiple ports is not actually to bridge multiple L2 switches for redundancy and run STP to avoid loops, but to allow connecting external end devices (e.g. sensors) directly into the same L2 segment as the applications running on the edge node. With VLAN-enabled Switch NI, the user should be able to use a physical network port attached to Switch NI as a VLAN access port (by default all switch NI ports are configured as trunks).

This will allow to use adam to test Switch network instance with VLAN access ports, see: lf-edge/eve-api#64 Signed-off-by: Milan Lenco <milan@zededa.com>

The main use-case of switch NI with multiple ports is not actually to
bridge multiple L2 switches for redundancy and run STP (*) to avoid loops,
but to allow connecting external end devices (e.g. sensors) directly
into the same L2 segment as the applications running on the edge node.
With VLAN-enabled Switch NI, the user should be able to use a physical
network port attached to Switch NI as a VLAN access port (by default
all switch NI ports are configured as trunks).
(*) Regardless of the use-case, we will always run STP on a multi-port
switch NI to avoid accidental bridge loops.
