3.2.3 Frame Filtering AL124 will make filtering forwarding decisions each frame received, based frame routing table, VLAN Mapping, port state, system configuration. Under following conditions, received frames filtered. AL124 will check received frames errors such symbol error, error, short event, runt, long event, etc. Frames with kind error will forwarded their destination port. frame heading source port will filtered. Frames heading disabled receiving port will filtered. input buffer port full, incoming frame will discarded. recommended that flow control used prevent loss data. flow control option enabled, this event will occur. remote station will transmit frames when input buffer becomes available. frame security violation, while security option enabled receiving port. Spanning Tree Protocol enabled, AL124 will forward frame below. port Block-N-Listen state Learning state, frame forwarded when BPDU frame, frame discarded otherwise. port Forwarding State, frame forwarded when BPDU frame.
Frame Forwarding
After frame received, source address (SA) destination address (DA) retrieved. used update port's address table described previously used determine frame's destination port. Address Lookup Engine will attempt match destination address with addresses stored address table. there match found, link between source port destination port then established. first destination address "0," frame regarded unicast frame. destination address passed Address Lookup Engine which returns matched destination port number identify which port frame should forwarded destination port within same VLAN receiving port, frame will forwarded. destination port does belong VLANs specified receiving port, frame will discarded. event will recorded VLAN boundary violation. particular VLAN null membership, frames discarded well. There ways that AL124 handles frames with unknown destination. forwarding decision controlled Flood Control option (System Configuration Register 00). Flood Control disabled, frame will forwarded ports (except receiving port) within same VLANs receiving port. Flood Control option enabled, AL124 will forward frame only uplink port specified receiving port.

Note: AL124 defines port either single port trunk, consistent with IEEE 802.3ad Port Aggregation Standard. port monitoring function enabled, frame forwarding decision also subject port monitoring configurations. first destination address "1," frame will handled multicast broadcast frame. AL124 does differentiate multicast frames from broadcast frames, except with following reserved bridge management group addresses, specified table IEEE 802.1d standard; GARP, IEEE 802.3ad Port Aggregation control frames. Additionally, IEEE 802.3x Flow Control control frames handled inside AL124 never forwarded other device, including CPU. destination ports broadcast frame ports within same VLAN except source port itself. Multicast/Broadcast frame trapping (MCtrap) enabled, multicast/broadcast frames will forwarded only. 3.3.1 Broadcast Storm Control unique features provided AL124 Broadcast Storm Control. This option allows user limit number broadcast frames into switch. This option implemented per-port basis. threshold number broadcast frames programmed register When Storm Control enabled number cumulated non-unicast frames over programmed threshold, broadcast frame discarded. Storm Control disabled number non-unicast frames received port over programmed threshold, AL124 will forward frame ports (except receiving port) within VLANs specified receiving port. port within specified VLAN, frame will also forwarded CPU. Broadcast-Storm-drop (BConly_SC) enabled, AL124 will only drop broadcast frames multicast frames. 3.3.2 Frame Transmission AL124 transmits frames accordance with IEEE 802.3 standard. AL124 will send frames with guaranteed minimum inter-packet (frame) 96BT, even when received frames have less than minimum requirement. AL124 also supports transmission frames with 64BT (optional). 3.3.3 Frame Generation During transmit process, frame data read from memory buffer forwarded destination port's device nibbles. Seven bytes preamble signal (10101010) will generated first before (10101011) frame data sent, which then followed four bytes FCS.
