Amendment 21: Edge Virtual Bridging

Approved 14 May 2012

Abstract: This amendment to IEEE Std 802.1Q-2011 specifies protocols, procedures, and managed objects that
— Provide for the discovery, configuration, and control of a pair of direct-attached limited-function Service VLAN (S-VLAN) components to extend the services of a customer bridge to remote ports and enable coexistence of multiple services onstation-resident ports (e.g.,
embedded bridging).
— Provide for discovery, configuration, and control of a Reflective Relay Service for a bridge port.
— Provide for discovery of, and coordinated configuration of, edge relays (ERs) and other devices that utilize the reflective relay service.
— Provide for dynamic profile-driven port configuration.
