What is h3cSecureNeedToKnowMode?

This OID controls which frames the port forwards: all frames, only frames to authorized devices, or frames including broadcast/multicast. This filters what traffic reaches connected devices based on their authorization level. Example: setting to "authorized devices plus broadcast" allows an authorized PC to receive ARP replies but not unicast frames from unauthorized devices.
