Abstract:
This informational document describes a compact method of using IEEE
802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) with IEEE 802.1aq
Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) network to automatically attach network
devices not supporting IEEE 802.1ah to individual services in a SPB
network. These network devices typically do not support SPBM, MAC-
in-MAC (802.1ah), nor I-SID usage and therefore cannot easily take
advantage of the SPB infrastructure without manual configuration of
attachment of VLANs to I-SIDs in multiple locations. A motivation
for this draft is to suggest a useful means to simplify and automate
connections to PBB L2VPN based service networks such as those defined
in SPBM-EVPN
