  2. Configuring IEEE 802.1ad. Provider networks handle trafic from a large number of customers. It is important that one customer’s trafic is isolated from the other customer’s trafic. IEEE 802.1ad enables the service providers to use the architecture and protocols of IEEE 802.1Q to offer separate LANs, bridged local area networks, or virtual ...

  4. No changes are required to convert 802.1Q to 802.1ad beyond assigning a new Provider Bridge Address block and a Provider Tag Ethertype. This is sufficient provided that: All customer traffic maps to a single provider service instance. All customer traffic has the same priority in the provider network.

  5. 802.1ad - Provider Bridges. This amendment to IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998 is intended to develop an architecture and bridge protocols, compatible and interoperable with existing Bridged Local Area Network protocols and equipment, to provide separate instances of the MAC services to multiple independent users of a Bridged Local Area Network in a manner ...

  6. These requirements enable provider bridges to have the same functionality as Layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT) and Q-in-Q (QnQ) bridges. This document describes the IEEE 802.1ad implementation on Cisco switches using Layer 2 switch ports.

  7. Defines encapsulation of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) over IEEE 802 (EAP over LAN, or EAPOL) to support network access control and the creation of secure infrastructures. Widely deployed on both Ethernet and Wi- Fi networks

  8. Dec 11, 2002 · This standard specifies protocols, procedures, and managed objects used to ensure that the synchronization requirements are met for time-sensitive applications, such as audio, video, and time-sensitive control, across networks, for example, IEEE 802 and similar media.
