32x32 Switch LU Output Format:
When the switch is in 32x32 mode, all bytes of the Bitmap are used (BM1, BM2, BM3, and BM4) for both port
addressing and to compute the header parity. When the switch is in 16x16 mode, only BM1 and BM2 are
used while BM3 and BM4 are considered as payload and are ignored for the computation of the header
parity. When the switch is in 08x08 mode, only BM1 is used while BM2 must be
’
00
’
so it does not impact the
computation of the parity in packet qualifier.
3.3.1.3 Port Addressing
The following table shows the switch output port addressing (a binary 1 in the bit map field indicates that the
packet should be sent to the corresponding switch output port).
3.3.2 Nested TxPause Extraction
In IBFC, The bits PQ (26,27 and 30,31) of the packet qualifier are monitored to extract the converter egress
flow control information (TxPause). The TxPause information is used by the PE to flow control the switch
’
s
output port. The converter interprets those bits and translates them into Sent Grant to the switch. The use of
TxPause is dependent upon the setting of register @C8 bit 30 of the configuration table register. When Bit 3
(Send Grant per Priority) of configuration register table @C4 is not enabled, any bit set to '0' in the TxPause
field is sufficient to stop transmission to the attached protocol engine.
