Figure 7-2:Errored Frame Reception across the Legacy Traffic Interface

As illustrated in Figure 7-2, reception of any frame in which the

legacy_rx_frame_bad is asserted (in place of legacy_rx_frame_good) indicates that this frame must be discarded by the Legacy client; it was either received with errors or was not intended for the legacy traffic interface.

Legacy MAC Header Filters

Overview of Operation

MAC Header Filters are provided on the receiver legacy traffic path as illustrated in Figure 5-1. These have a greater flexibility than the standard address filter provided in the Tri-Mode Ethernet MAC (which must be disabled). The MAC Header Filters include the ability to filter across any of the initial 16-bytes of an Ethernet frame, including the ability to filter only on the Destination Address, Length/Type Field, VLAN tag (if present), or any bit-wise match combination of the preceding. Eight individual MAC Header Filters are provided, numbered from 0 through to 7, each of which is separately configured.
