Full Description

Scope

This standard specifies Bridges that interconnect individual LANs, each supporting the IEEE 802 MACService using a different or identical media access control method, to provide Bridged Networks andVLANs.

Purpose

Bridges, as specified by this standard, allow the compatible interconnection of information technology equipment attached to separate individual LANs.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Active.This standard specifies how the Media Access Control (MAC) Service is supported by Bridged Networks, the principles of operation of those networks, and the operation of MAC Bridges and VLAN Bridges, including management, protocols, and algorithms.
