EFM frames on tagged port

Jan 06, 2012 0 Replies

Hello,



Reading the specs I didn't completely understand if EFM, CFM or LLDP frames can be tagged or not. Specifically, what is the behavior of a L2 switch when sending out such frames out a trunk port, i.e. the frames are supposed to be tagged.



I understand that slow protocols use reserved destination multicast addresses , i.e. 01:80:c2:x:x:x and by standard they are not supposed to propagate the 802.1d bridge - so does this mean that bridge software *must* treat such frames specially and do not tag/untag them at all?



Thanks



Mark
