Description
We don't currently have any support for VLAN traffic, and don't expect to be receiving VLAN-tagged packets. The p4 program should drop those packets at ingress. We can make this a per-link, run-time setting, in case we run into a situation in which want to allow those packets in.

Research direction
Start by locating the P4 program and its ingress packet-processing path; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Confirm how VLAN-tagged packets are identified and how per-link run-time settings are represented. Done means tagged packets are dropped by default while the setting can allow them for a selected link.
