Ethernet phy update - 16: phy port cleanup

Added corrections in #provider #backbone #bridge ( #PBB ) #phy #port #handler routines in bridge module. Updated provider bridge virtual instance port ( #VIP ) and provider instance port ( #PIP ) #create / #remove routines in accordance with the latest phy framework. Also updated provider backbone bridge agent framework for general corrections. Removed obsolete phy related routines from the ethernet module.

PBB virtual instance port update - 3 + Provider bridge provider network port update

PBB virtual instance port update - 3

Added #HAL support in virtual instance port ( #VIP ) activation routine in bridge module. This will issue API calls for HAL operations from ethernet module.

#802-1AH update 28 ...

Provider bridge provider network port update 

Updating provider network port ( #PNP ) activation routine in bridge module. This will re-sequence the order in which the status change is propagated to the #bridge base port.

#802-1AD update 17 ...

[commit e30d93c945ad34c7d3da83123ec8136c7b581fbf]

PBB virtual instance port update - 2

Modified virtual instance port ( #VIP ) activation routine in bridge module. This will re-sequence the order in which VIP logical port are made #UP / #DOWN. This also validates the associated #PIP port and attaches it to the #I-Component.

#802-1AH update 23 ...
[commit 24183700f511b45d2ef97983be60070c7da0c1c2]

PBB provider instance port update - 2

Added provider instance port ( #PIP ) attach routines in bridge module. This will attach the PIP #port on to an ethernet #component (same as the #VIP port #I-Component). This routine will find the PIP port #phy and create a new virtual port on the I-Component.

#802-1AH update 20 ...

PBB PIP pre-provisioning update - 3

Added hierarchical dependency checks for virtual instance port ( #VIP ) on create routines in bridge module. Modified activation routines of VIP-to-PIP mapping, for passing on state changes to VIP port handlers to act accordingly. This also consolidates the provider instance port ( #PIP ) related operations in VIP handlers.

#802-1AH update 18 ...
[commit 714dd56fd8c7abf0d34dff11797ffcf90964dc98]

PBB virtual instance port update

Created logical interface and internal phy for virtual instance port ( #VIP ) in the #I-Component of a provider backbone edge bridge ( #BEB ).

#802-1AH update 12 ...
[commit 545c1c14e91b2676db4d89c130d55f3369dbf584]

PBB virtual instance port corrections

Corrected virtual instance port ( #VIP ) to provider instance port ( #PIP ) issues in #bridge module.

#802-1AH update 11 ...
[commit 58fba6356762730e5d9280fb24827700e63c2458]

PBB VIP provisioning update

Added handler in bridge module for virtual instance port ( #VIP ) #provisioning on a provider backbone edge bridge ( #I-BEB ). This handles the #I-SID assignment and provider instance port ( #PIP ) mapping of the VIP port. The pre-provisioned PIP ports are used on VIP activation.

#802-1AH update 9 ...
[commit d37a2922359fdde909e3e5522c41759089cb82f1]

Provider backbone bridge update

Added changes to define the hierarchical relationship between #VIP ports and #PIP ports in bridge module.

#802-1AH update 8 ...
[commit ac1ccc99f02e36731fcd2066d0bddcf95ef330c6]

PBB PIP pre-provisioning update - 2

Adding more changes for the cleanup of previous #VIP -to- #PIP #mapping configuration in bridge module.

#802-1AH update 7 ...
[commit cf934c41be9bd45914a08218a43b7261bf778187]

PBB PIP pre-provisioning update

Created routines for #static assignment of provider instance ports ( #PIP ) to virtual instance ports ( #VIP ) in bridge module. This enables the #pre-provisioning of PIP ports in the #I-Component.

#802-1AH update 6 ...
[commit a0bbc2cfc1b63dd13e7a70f03108d987c317e202]

Provider backbone bridge PIP update

Added changes for #PIP port and #VIP port stacking in bridge module. Created internal LAN ( #ILAN ) between PIP port and #CBP port in provider backbone edge ( #IB-BEB ) bridge.

#802-1AH update 4 ...
[commit f303ecabe351472de218221e930afbdd2575dcfa]

Ethernet & Bridge stacking update

Added changes for supporting #VLAN, #bridge and #ILAN type interfaces in ethernet module. These are required for generic ethernet #interface #stacking.

#Ethernet update 5 ...

Added changes for #PIP interface type support in bridge module. For interface stacking of #VIP and CNP in #PBB (provider backbone bridging) this is required.
