How can I support an unknown or other value for a Serde enum?

Question

I have a JSON API that returns an object that looks like this:

{
  \"PrivatePort\": 2222,
  \"PublicPort\": 3333,
  \"Type\": \"tcp\"
}

I do it with serde(from="String")

#[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Deserialize, Serialize, Debug)]
#[serde(rename_all = "snake_case", from="String")]
pub enum PortType {
    Sctp,
    Tcp,
    Udp,
    Unknown(String),
}

impl From for PortType {
    fn from(s: String)->Self {
        use PortType::*;

        return match s.as_str() {
            "sctp" => Sctp,
            "tcp" => Tcp,
            "udp" => Udp,
            _ => Unknown(s)
        }
    }
}

#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Debug)]
#[serde(rename_all = "PascalCase")]
pub struct PortMapping {
    pub private_port: u16,
    pub public_port: u16,
    #[serde(rename = "Type")]
    pub port_type: PortType,
}
