  • P1.SGT: 16-bit security tag embedded in Ethernet or IP packets
  • P2.SGACL: Access control list based on source and destination SGT
  • P3.SXP: Protocol to propagate SGT bindings between network devices
  • P4.MACsec: IEEE 802.1AE encryption for point-to-point links
  • P5.CTS: Cisco TrustSec architecture that combines SGT, SGACL, and MACsec

Why P1: SGT tags traffic, SGACL enforces policy, SXP propagates SGTs, and MACsec encrypts at Layer 2.
