System Manageability—Ethernet Controller I210
685
The 2nd parameter (00h) indicates which MAC Address filter is being configured, in this case filter
0.
The 3rd parameter is the MAC Address - AABBCCDD
Step 5: Configure MDEF[0] for IP and MAC Filtering
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [68, 0, 00002001, 000000000]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Decision Filters (MDEF)
(parameter 68h). This will update MDEF[0], as indicated by the 2nd parameter (0).
MDEF value of 00002001:
— Bit 0 [1] – MAC[0] Address Filtering
— Bit 13 [1] – IP[0] Address Filtering
MDEF_EXT[0] value of 0000000h:
Step 6: Configure MDEF[1]
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [68, 1, 10000000]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Decision Filters (MDEF)
(parameter 68h). This will update MDEF[1], as indicated by the 2nd parameter (1).
MDEF value of 10000000:
— Bit 28 [1] – ARP Requests
MDEF_EXT[0] value of 0000000h:
Step 7: Configure the Management to Host Filter
Update Manageability Filter Parameters [F, 0, 00000001]
Use the Update Manageability Filter Parameters command to update Manageability Only
(MNGONLY) (parameter Fh) so that the dedicated MAC/IP traffic would not be sent to the Host.
Note that given the Host will not program this address in its L2 filtering, this step is not a must,
unless the Host chooses to work in promiscuous mode.
— Bit [0] - MDEF[0] is exclusive to the MC.
Step 8: Enable Filtering
Receive Enable [05]
Using the simple form of the Receive Enable command,:
Receive Enable Control 05h:
— Bit 0 [1] – Enable Receiving of packets
— Bit 2 [1] – Enable status reporting (such as link lost)
— Bit 5:4 [00] – Notification method = SMB Alert
The resulting MDEF filters are as follows:
