Distributed switch: which ethertypes are switched and which consumed

$

Hello Team,

 

Distributed switch version 5.5.

 

I am interested in the Ethernet frames with the following ethertypes:

0x88CC   Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

0x88E5    MAC security (IEEE 802.1AE)

0x8909    Cisco Metadata

 

Which packets will be consumed by the switch and which forwarded ?

Obviously LLDP should be consumed by the switch.

What about macsec and cisco CMD ?

 

What about reserved/unknown/vendor proprietary ethertypes ?

 

Thanks,

Michal Garcarz
