which of the UNP classification paths (B, C, or D) the packet follows. The path is determined by the initial
authentication and classification process originating with path A.
B. Profile and VLAN Exist
Tagged and untagged packets are processed as follows when initial classification returns a UNP profile
and associated VLAN that exists in the switch configuration:
1
In a multi-chassis link aggregation (MCLAG) configuration, after the MVRP VLAN is converted to a
UNP dynamic VLAN in the local chassis, a request is sent to the peer chassis to convert the same VLAN
to a UNP dynamic VLAN. In this case, the remote chassis will do following:
•
If there is no profile with this advertised VLAN, then the request to convert is dropped.
•
If there is a profile with this advertised VLAN but the VLAN doesn't exist, then the VLAN is created
as a UNP dynamic VLAN.
•
If there is a profile with this advertised VLAN and the VLAN type is MVRP, this VLAN is converted
to a UNP dynamic VLAN.

Both tagged and untagged
packets are learned as
forwarding on the UNP VLAN
(for tagged packets, the tag
VLAN and UNP VLAN are
the same at this point).
The UNP port is a tagged
member of the UNP VLAN
for tagged packets and is an
untagged member of the UNP
VLAN for untagged packets.
