bit 15-0 MACMAXF<15:0>: Maximum Frame Length bits
(1)
These bits reset to 0x05EE, which represents a maximum receive frame of 1518 octets. An untagged
maximum size Ethernet frame is 1518 octets. A tagged frame adds four octets for a total of 1522 octets. If
a shorter/longer maximum length restriction is desired, program this 16-bit field.
Note 1: If a proprietary header is allowed, this bit should be adjusted accordingly. For example, if 4-byte headers
are prepended to frames, MACMAXF could be set to 1527 octets. This would allow the maximum VLAN
tagged frame plus the 4-byte header.
Note: Both 16-bit and 32-bit accesses are allowed to these registers (including the SET, CLR and INV registers).
8-bit accesses are not allowed and are ignored by the hardware.
