Intel^® 82598EB 10 GbE Controller - Sample Configurations
Receive Enable Control 40h:
Bit 0 [0]– Disable Receiving of packets
Bit 6 [1] - Reserved, must be set to 1
Step 2: - Read System MAC Address
Get System MAC Address []
Reads the System MAC address. Assume returned AABBCCDDED for this example.
Step 3: Configure IP Address Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [64, 00, 01020304]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters to configure an IPv4 filter.
The 1^st parameter (64h) specifies that we are configuring an IPv4 filter.
The 2^nd parameter (00h) indicates which IPv4 filter is being configured,
in this case filter 0.
The 3^rd parameter is the IP address – 1.2.3.4.
Step 4: Configure MAC Address Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [66, 00, AABBCCDDEE]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters to configure a MAC Address filter.
The 1^st parameter (66h) specifies that we are configuring a MAC Address filter.
The 2^nd parameter (00h) indicates which MAC Address filter is being configured, in this case filter 0.
The 3^rd parameter is the MAC Address - AABBCCDDEE
Step 5: Configure MDEF[0] for IP and MAC Filtering
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [61, 0, 00000009]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Decision Filters (MDEF)
(parameter 61h). This will update MDEF[0], as indicated by the 2^nd parameter (0).
MDEF value of 00000009:
Bit 1 [1]- MAC Address Filtering
Bit 3 [1]– IP Address Filtering
Step 6: Configure MDEF[1]
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [61, 1, 00000080]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Decision Filters (MDEF)
(parameter 61h). This will update MDEF[1], as indicated by the 2^nd parameter (1).
MDEF value of 00000080:
Bit 7 [7]– ARP Requests
When filtering ARP requests the requests go into the manageability filtering system and as such need to
be designated as also needing to be sent to the host. For this reason a separate MDEF is created with
only ARP request filtering enabled.
Step 7: Configure the Management to Host Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [0A, 00000002]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update the Management Control to Host
(MANC2H) Register.
