Turn on this option to include the logic for full-
duplex flow control that includes pause frames
generation and termination.

On/Off

Enable full-duplex flow
control

Turn on this option to include the logic for
VLAN and stacked VLAN frame detection.
When turned off, the MAC does not detect
VLAN and staked VLAN frames. The MAC
forwards these frames to the user application
without processing them.

On/Off

Enable VLAN detection

Turn on this option to include logic for magic
packet detection (Wake-on LAN).

On/Off

Enable magic packet detection

MDIO Module

Turn on this option if you want to access external
PHY devices connected to the MAC function.
When turned off, the core does not include the
logic or signals associated with the MDIO
interface.

On/Off

Include MDIO module
(MDC/MDIO)

Clock divisor to divide the MAC control
interface clock to produce the MDC clock output
on the MDIO interface. The default value is 40.

For example, if the MAC control interface clock
frequency is 100 MHz and the desired MDC
clock frequency is 2.5 MHz, a host clock divisor
of 40 should be specified.

Altera recommends that the division factor is
defined such that the MDC frequency does not
exceed 2.5 MHz.
