Conditions
Trunk port on BCM based n9k/n3k with non-default ethertype setting (0x88a8 or 0x9100) and port is flapped.
Upon port flap on BCM based n9k/n3k, ethertype setting on that port reverts to default =0x8100.
Workaround
1. default the ethertype after port flap
no switchport dot1q ethertype
2. Re-apply the required ethertype
switchport dot1q ethertype
