Requested revision
Standard: | 802.1X | Clause: | 5.4 |
Clause title: | PAE requirements |
Rationale for revision
The text of 5.4(b) is out of date and over-restrictive. The use of additional addresses for EAPOL transmission has been approved in IEEE Std 802.1AEcg-2017 and in IEEE Std 802.1Q-2018.
Proposed text
Delete 5.4(b) "Transmit group addressed EAPOL PDUs using one ... of the destination addresses specified in Table 11-1." This change has already been incorporated in the successfully balloted P802.1Xck, and this maintenance request has been submitted to complete the audit trail.
Impact on existing networks
None. New network systems can already use the additional addresses specified in 802.1AEcg-2017 and 802.1Q-2018 without disrupting the operation of networks configured prior to the availability of those addresses.
