+ Option to allow forwarding of BPDU frames when NORMAL action is

+ BPDU) will be forwarded when this option is enabled and the
+ switch is not providing that functionality. If STP is enabled
+ on the port, STP BPDUs will never be forwarded. If the Open
+ vSwitch bridge is used to connect different Ethernet networks,
+ and if Open vSwitch node does not run STP, then this option
+ should be enabled. Default is disabled, set to
