VALID

 

Address valid bit. This bit should be cleared to zero for unused address RAM locations.

 

 

0

Address location is not valid and will not be used in determining whether or not an incoming packet

 

 

 

matches or is filtered.

 

 

1

Address location is valid and will be used in determining whether or not an incoming packet

 

 

 

matches or is filtered.

MATCHFILT

 

Match or filter bit

 

 

0

The address will be used (if the VALID bit is set) to determine if the incoming packet address

 

 

 

should be filtered.
