The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors support a maximum of three Ethernet MACs. Depending on the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors part number used, various combinations can be used. For the various features that can be enable a variety of needs, see the Intel® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Datasheet.

All MACs contained in the NPEs are compliant to the IEEE 802.3 specification and handle flow control for the IEEE 802.3Q VLAN specification.

The Management Data Interface (MDI) supports a maximum of 32 PHY addresses. MDI signals are required to be connected to every PHY chip. Each PHY port is assign a unique address in the external PHY chip from 0 to 31, totaling a maximum of 32 PHY addresses. The maximum number of MACs supported by the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors is three.

The MII interface supports clock rates of 25 MHz for 100-Mbps operation or 2.5 MHz for 10-Mbps operation.

SMII interface supports clock rate of 125 MHz for 10/100-Mbps operation.

General PHY Ethernet devices routing guidelines can be found in Section 5.2.3, “SMII Signal Considerations” on page 67. For more detailed information, see the IEEE 802.3 specification.
