The feature allows the host to configure PASS to send all packets with broadcast bit set (bit 0 of 1st mac header byte) from ingress port X to a corresponding route before or after the LUT look up. The ingress default route provides the route configurations for ingress broadcast(BC) and multicast(MC) packets and the unicast packets that do not match L2 entries on an EMAC interface as described below.
- Route BC/MC traffics prior to LUT1 lookup if configured as pre-classification route
- Route unmatched BC/MC traffics from EMAC port X if configured as post-classification route
- Route unmatched unicast traffic from EMAC port X if configured
- This rule precedes the exception route rule.
- These features can be globally enabled or disabled using paPacketControl2Config_t configuration along with per interface configurations.
- Note:
- When this feature is enabled, the exception routes for multicast/broadcast/unicast packets will not be used..
