Requested revision
Standard:802.1Qcp-2018Clause:48.6.3.2
Clause title:Definition for the ieee802-dot1q-types YANG module
Rationale for revision
The 'choice map-type' statement as part of the
'dot1q-types:port-map-grouping' is confusing in my opinion and violates
some parts of the IEEE 802.1Q standard in Section 8.8. As per the
standard, the entire filtering entry could be a 'static-filtering-entry',
'mac-address-registration-entry', etc... Thus it should not be defined
per individual port in the port map with the 'choice map-type' per
port. (i.e. It is currently possible for a 'filtering-entry' to have a
port in the port map to be a 'static-filtering-entry' and another port
to be a 'dynamic-filtering-entry').
Proposed text
I believe the port-map should have the 'forward', 'filter' and
'forward-filter' enumeration options per port and have a separate
"type" parameter to represent the filtering-entry's type
('static-filtering-entry', 'dynamic-filtering-entry', etc...). For
this model, it is important to define 'must' statements that prevent
the port in the port-map from being in the 'forward', 'filter',
or 'forward-filter' states depending on the 'filtering-entry' type.
Impact on existing networks
YANG upgrade on 'ieee802-dot1q-types.yang' will be required.
