What is hh3cSecureNeedToKnowMode?

Controls which frames the port is allowed to forward when security is in effect: value 2 forwards everything, 3 forwards only frames addressed to authorised MAC addresses, 4/5 additionally allow broadcast or broadcast-plus-multicast traffic, and 6-8 are locked variants of 3-5 that reject any attempt to change them.
