Figure 24-4. Ethernet Address Recognition Flowchart
In group address recognition, the controller determines whether the group address is a
broadcast address. If broadcast addresses are enabled, the frame is accepted, but if the
group address is not a broadcast address, address recognition can be performed on multiple
group addresses using the GADDRn hash table. In promiscuous mode, the controller
receives all incoming frames regardless of their address, unless REJECT
is asserted.
If an external CAM is used for address recognition, select promiscuous mode; the frame
can be rejected by asserting REJECT
while the frame is being received. The on-chip
address recognition functions can be used in addition to the external CAM address
recognition functions.
