An end station (e.g. a > VM) may belong to a C-VLAN. Section 5.3 provides more details on VLANs > defined by [802.1Q].*" note: Janos and I had a short off-list followup, and the current proposed replacement text is: C-VLAN: This document refers to C-VLANs as implemented by many routers, i.e., an L2 virtual network identified by a C-VID. An end station (e.g. a VM) in this context that is part of an L2 virtual network will effectively belong to a C-VLAN. Within an IEEE 802.1Q-2011 network, other tags may be used as well, but such usage is generally not visible to the end station. Section 5.3 provides more details on VLANs defined by [802.1Q]. Does that work for folk? Thomas _______________________________________________ nvo3 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nvo3
