I think that is what the quoted passage means. I would guess that it is
stated because the EAPOL frames are meant to be "host to switch"
communication, and therefore, tagging is not needed.

I'm not sure, but I guess there will be no 802.1Q VLAN tagging, while
there will be 802.1p prioritization tagging.
I mean, those frames would not use the VLAN tagging fields, while they
would use the priority fields.
Could somebody confirm?

hi
In 7.4 of IEEE Std 802.1x-2001, why to say " EAPOL frames
transmitted by a PAE
shall not be VLAN tagged, but may optionally be priority tagged"?
