Requested revision
Standard: | IEEE 802.1Q | Clause: | 8.8 |
Clause title: | The Filtering Database |
Rationale for revision
The Reserved Address 01-80-C2-00-00-0B (filtered by C-VLAN and MAC Bridge components) is used by EDEs (Ethernet Data Encryption devices) as specified in P802.1AEcg (now passed Sponsor Ballot and submitted to RevCom). The 802.1AEcg use should be noted in Table 8-1 (as e.g. for the -07 address, allocated for use as the Metro Ethernet Forum ELMI protocol group address, in Table 8-2). Note that, in making this change, it is not necessary to change/add any Clause 2 Normative references or add to the Bibliography.
Proposed text
In Table 8-1, in the row with "Value" 01-80-C2-00-0B change the text for "Assignment" from "Reserved for future standardization" to "EDE-SS PEP Address (IEEE Std 802.1AEcg)".
Impact on existing networks
None. The address was previously "Reserved for future standardization"
and not used. Filtering of the address by IEEE Std 802.1Q conformant
devices has not been changed as a consequence of the use of the address
by 802.1AEcg.
