IEEE 802.3ac-1998 IEEE Standard for Information technology - Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and metropolitan area networks - Specific requirements Part 3: Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) frame extensions for Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks (VLA

Amendment by IEEE, 11/06/1998

Full Description

Scope

Specifications of 802.3 frame when carrying Virtual Bridged Local Area network (VLAN) tag information. Necessary adjustments to 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) parameters e.g. maxFrameSize to accommodate Virtual Bridged Local Area Network tagged framesual Bridged Local Area Network (VLAN) tag information. Necessary adjustments to IEEE Std 802.3 clause 30 management attribute definitions to accommodate Virtual Bridged Local Area Network tagged frames.

Purpose

To adjust the 802.3 frame format to align IEEE Std 802.3 with IEEE 802.1Q.
