24.7.1.4 Address Matching

The GMAC register pair hash address and the four Specific Address register pairs must be written with the required values. Each register pair comprises of a bottom register and top register, with the bottom register being written first. The address matching is disabled for a particular register pair after the bottom register has been written and re-enabled when the top register is written. Each register pair may be written at any time, regardless of whether the receive circuits are enabled or disabled.

As an example, to set Specific Address register 1 to recognize destination address 21:43:65:87:A9:CB, the following values are written to Specific Address register 1 bottom and Specific Address register 1 top:

• Specific Address register 1 bottom bits 31:0 (0x98): 0x8765_4321.
• Specific Address register 1 top bits 31:0 (0x9C): 0x0000_CBA9.
