NOTE: The VLAN filter overrides the unicast filter.

 

 

 

 

Therefore, a VLAN frame cannot be

 

 

 

 

filtered based on the unicast address.

2. Used in conjunction with the “RX FIFO Errored Frame Drop Enable ($0x59F)” on page 196. This allows the frame to be dropped in the RX FIFO. Otherwise, the frame is sent out the SP3 interface and may be optionally signaled with an RERR (see bit 0 of “SPI3 Receive Configuration ($0x701)”.
