Supports either VMready or 802.1Qbg Edge Virtual Bridging (not both) on the same physical
port
Integration with L2 Failover
Virtual link aggregation groups (vLAGs)
802.1Qbg Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) is an emerging IEEE standard for allowing networks to become
virtual machine (VM)-aware.
Virtual Ethernet Bridging (VEB) and Virtual Ethernet Port Aggregator (VEPA) are mechanisms for
switching between VMs on the same hypervisor.
Edge Control Protocol (ECP) is a transport protocol that operates between two peers over an
IEEE 802 LAN providing reliable, in-order delivery of upper layer protocol data units.
Virtual Station Interface (VSI) Discovery and Configuration Protocol (VDP) allows centralized
configuration of network policies that will persist with the VM, independent of its location.
EVB Type-Length-Value (TLV) is used to discover and configure VEPA, ECP, and VDP.
VMready support
Converged Enhanced Ethernet
Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x standard flow control to allow the
switch to pause traffic based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) (IEEE 802.1Qaz) provides a method for allocating link
bandwidth based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) (IEEE 802.1AB) allows neighboring
network devices to exchange information about their capabilities.
