Two Port 10/100 Managed Ethernet Switch with 16-Bit Non-PCI CPU Interface
Datasheet
The pause function is enabled by either Auto-negotiation, or manually as discussed in Section 6.2.3,
"Flow Control Enable Logic," on page 58. Pause frames are consumed by the MAC and not sent to
the switch engine. Non-pause control frames are optionally filtered or forwarded.
When the receive FIFO is full and additional data continues to be received, an overrun condition occurs
and the frame is discarded (FIFO space recovered) or marked as a bad frame.
The receive MAC can be disabled from receiving all frames by clearing the RX Enable bit of the Port
x MAC Receive Configuration Register (MAC_RX_CFG_x).
The size of the RX FIFO is 256 bytes. If a bad packet with less than 64 bytes is received, it will be
flushed from the FIFO automatically and the FIFO space recovered. Packets equal to or larger than
64 bytes with an error will be marked and reported to the switch engine. The switch engine will
subsequently drop the packet.
Receive Counters
The receive MAC gathers statistics on each packet and increments the related counter registers. The
following receive counters are supported for each switch fabric port. Refer to Table 14.12, “Indirectly
Accessible Switch Control and Status Registers,” on page 309 and Section 14.5.2.3 through
Section 14.5.2.22 for detailed descriptions of these counters.
