13.4.10Flow Control Type

FCT (00030h; R/W)

This register contains the type field that hardware matches to recognize a flow control packet and that hardware uses when transmitting a PAUSE packet to its remote node. Only the lower 16 bits of this register have meaning. This register should be programmed with 88_08h. The upper byte is first on the wire FCT[15:8].

13.4.11VLAN Ether Type

VET (00038h; R/W)

This register contains the type field hardware matches against to recognize an 802.1Q (VLAN) Ethernet packet and uses when add and transmit VLAN Ethernet packets. To be compliant with the 802.3ac standard, this register should be programmed with the value 8100h. For VLAN transmission the upper byte is first on the wire (VET[15:8]).
