Unknown EtherType handling in DVS

Hello Experts,

Wanted to know how unknown ethertype packets from VM are handled by DVS.

I see following stats when unknown ethertype packets are received by DVS.

esxcli network port stats get -p 83886084

Packet statistics for port 83886084

   Packets received: 11525

   Packets sent: 5983

   Bytes received: 454766

   Bytes sent: 1182070

   Broadcast packets received: 4298

   Broadcast packets sent: 4011

   Multicast packets received: 5249

   Multicast packets sent: 13

   Unicast packets received: 1978

   Unicast packets sent: 1959

   Receive packets dropped: 0

   Transmit packets dropped: 9181

Is there a option that can be enabled in DVS to forward packets on uplink instead of dropping it?

Thanks

Raja
