If we disable vlan_filtering and no vlan interface is configured on the
bridge, we cannot forward any tagged traffic?
If we want to forward frames from one port to another port (not from/to
bridge device), we have to add vlan interface or set promisc mode, right?

Sorry if I misunderstood it. I'm not sure..
