If this option is added to the command-line, the port is set in private

+ If this is added to the command-line, the port is set in VEPA mode.
+i.e. port will offload switching functionality to the external entity as
+described in 802.1Qbg
+Note: VEPA mode in IPvlan has limitations. IPvlan uses the mac-address of the

These two devices are very similar in many regards and the specific use
