So when it gets a frame from a V-Lan it responds with a frame V-Lan?
Or does it send a normal frame which is what i think it does when it 
"ignores" the vlan?

So if for example it gets a req_pdelay with a V-Lan it responds with a 
pdelay_response and follow up that is not in this V-Lan?

Bets regards,
Hamar

The SW will accept VLAN tagged Layer-2 frames, ignoring tpid and tci.

The SW will always transmit un-tagged (non-VLAN) Layer-2 frames.

Does that mean it "correctly" responds?  Well, that may be a matter of
opinion.  The last time I looked, VLAN tags are only specified for
trunking ports of switches.  The only valid use of VLAN tags from a
station's port is to request a priority (using VLAN zero).  That
option is not implemented in linuxptp.

HTH,
Richard
