Functional Description

MU9C8338 10/100Mb Ethernet Filter Interface

MAC Address Storage

When the MU9C8338 performs an SA processing

function, it automatically extracts the MAC address from

the packet. The database is searched and the MAC address

is added to the LANCAM database if necessary. Similarly,

when a DA processing function is performed, the

MU9C8338 automatically searches the database for the

extracted DA MAC address.

It is important that the user is aware of the byte ordering of

the 48-bit MAC address when it is stored in the LANCAM

database. This is because the user must byte-order MAC

addresses identically when a database entry is to be

manually added or deleted. Similarly, if the user wishes to

read out a MAC address, they should also be aware of the

byte ordering when the relevant data registers are read.

Throughout this data sheet MAC addresses are shown as

bit 47 being the most significant bit, which is placed on the

left. Similarly, bit 0 is shown as the least significant bit and

placed on the right. Using this notation, the

Individual/Group (I/G) bit subfield would be shown as bit

40. This bit would be the first bit of an address transmitted

onto the serial network and also the first bit received. The

IEEE 802.3 refers to the I/G bit subfield as bit 0. If the bit

is set to 1, it indicates that the address is a group address.

Conversely, if the bit is set to 0, it indicates it is an

individual address. Figure 4 shows a typical 48-bit MAC

address used in Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 networks.

If the MAC address shown in Figure 4 is added to the

database by the MU9C8338, it is stored as follows:

• Segment 3 = 6002h

• Segment 2 = 128Ch

• Segment 1 = 5634h

• Segment 0 = Associated data (permanent bit, time

stamp and port ID)

If the user wishes to use the built-in routines to manually

add, delete, or read MAC addresses from the database, the

System CAM Word registers (SCDW) are used as shown

in Figure 5. It shows how the MAC address, used as an

example in Figure 4, would be transferred using the

SCDW registers.

If the user intended to delete the MAC address, the SCDW

registers would be written as shown in item 1 and the

SDO_DELETE routine would be invoked.

If the user intended to add the address manually, the

SCDW registers would be written as shown in item 2 and

the SDO_ADD routine would be invoked.

Finally, if the user intended to read an entry, the

SDO_READ routine would be invoked and the address

would be read from the SCDW registers as shown in item

3. The built-in routines are explained more fully later in

this document.
