+ * - the Ingress acceptable frame filter is set to accept all frames
+ * - the VLAN port membership is set to the complete VLAN range (0 - 4094)
+ * - the Ingress tagging mode is set to pass-through (will not change frames)
+ * - the Egress tagging mode is to send tagged frames in the entire VLAN range (0 - 4094)
+ *
+ * Note that further disabling and re-enabling the VLAN feature for a given port will not reset the port VLAN behavior

+ *
+ * The port is set to <b>STP unblocked mode</b>, therefore it will accept all frames until re-configured.
