Intel^® 82598EB 10 GbE Controller - Sample Configurations
Step 1: Disable existing filtering
Receive Enable[40]
Utilizing the simple form of the Receive Enable command, this prevents any packets from reaching the
MC by disabling filtering:
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 XSUM Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [01, 00800000]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Filters Enable settings (parameter
1). This set the Manageability Control (MANC) Register.
MANC Register 00800000h:
Bit 23 [1]– XSUM Filter enable
Note that some of the following configuration steps manipulate the MANC register indirectly, this
command sets all bits except XSUM to 0. It is important to either do this step before the others, or to
read the value of the MANC and then write it back with only bit 32 changed. Also note that the XSUM
enable bit may differ between Ethernet Controllers, refer to product specific documentation.
Step 4: Configure VLAN 0 Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [62, 0, 0032]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to configure VLAN filters. Parameter 62h
indicates update to VLAN Filter, the 2^nd parameter indicates which VLAN filter (0 in this case), the last
parameter is the VLAN ID (0032h).
Step 5: Configure MDEF[0]
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [61, 0, 00000040]
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 00000040:
Bit 2 [1]– VLAN AND
Step 6: - Enable Filtering
Receive Enable [A5, AABBCCDDEE, 01020304, 00, 00, 00]
Using the advanced version Receive Enable command, the first parameter:
Receive Enable Control A5h:
Bit 0 [1] – Enable Receiving of packets
Bit 2 [1] – Enable status reporting (such as link lost)
Bit 5:4 [00]– Notification method = SMB Alert
Bit 6 [1] - Reserved, must be set to 1
Bit 7 [1]– Use Dedicated MAC
