Figure 24-4. Ethernet Address Recognition Flowchart

In group address recognition, the controller determines whether the group address is abroadcast address. If broadcast addresses are enabled, the frame is accepted, but if thegroup address is not a broadcast address, address recognition can be performed on multiplegroup addresses using the GADDRn hash table. In promiscuous mode, the controllerreceives all incoming frames regardless of their address, unless REJECT is asserted.If an external CAM is used for address recognition, select promiscuous mode; the framecan be rejected by asserting REJECT while the frame is being received. The on-chipaddress recognition functions can be used in addition to the external CAM addressrecognition functions.
