3.10.12.2 — Reserved multicast addresses
Table 3.45
identified with these destination addresses are handled uniquely since they are designed for
Layer 2 Control Protocols.
The actions taken by the system can be:
• Discard - The system discards all ingress Ethernet frames and must not generate any
egress Ethernet Frame carrying the reserved multicast address.
• Forward - The system accepts all ingress Ethernet frames as standard multicast
frames and forwards them accordingly.
• Peer - The system acts as a peer of the connected device in the operation of the
relevant Layer 2 Control Protocol.
