27、anaged objects necessary to extend a bridgeand its management beyond its physical enclosure using IEEE 802LAN technologies.To this end, it:a) Identifies and isolates traffic between ports within an Extended Bridge;b) Specifies a tag format for this identification;c) Establishes an Extended Bridge co
28、nsisting of a Controlling Bridge and one or more Bridge PortExtenders;d) Specifies the functionality and the specific requirements of a Bridge Port Extender;e) Extends the MAC service of a Bridge Port across the interconnected Bridge Port Extenders,including support of Customer Virtual Local Area Ne
29、tworks (C-VLANs).f) Establishes the requirements of bridge components and systems for the attachment of Bridge PortExtenders;g) Specifies a protocol to provide for the configuration and monitoring of Bridge Port Extenders by aControlling Bridge; andh) Establishes the requirements for Bridge Manageme
30、nt to support Port Extension, identifying themanaged objects and defining the management operations.This standard contains state-of-the-art material. The area covered by this standard is undergoing evolution.Revisions are anticipated within the next few years to clarify existing material, to correct
31、 possible errors, andto incorporate new related material.
