Description

When using multi-tenancy and VLANs, some customers may want to use the "inner" VLAN for tenant selection with QinQ. Suricata has no mechanism to allow which VLAN is used for tenant selection -- the outer VLAN value is always selected.

Suggest adding a configuration setting with the default being the current behavior (outer VLAN).

The implementation in https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/9401 feels a little incomplete to me by just looking at the inner vlan.

I think a complete solution would allow the existing vlan selector, or a vlan-in-vlan selector where both levels of VLAN need to be specified, perhaps supporting a wildcard for the outer vlan?

Good point. This could be generalized into a "filter" of sorts

outer-vlan-specification:inner-vlan-specification

The current "vlan" selector could be thought of as "vlan:<wild-card>" and my initial "vlan-inner" PR would be "<wild-card>:vlan"

Lets work on a complete solution in 8 and see what we can backport.
