A software reset has no impact on these registers. MAC supplementary addresses are not available in 10/100
and 1000 Small MAC variations.

You can specify up to four 6-byte supplementary addresses:

• smac_0_0/1
• smac_1_0/1
• smac_2_0/1
• smac_3_0/1

Map the supplementary addresses to the respective registers
in the same manner as the primary MAC address. Refer to
the description of mac_0 and ma

c_1

.

The MAC function uses the supplementary addresses for
the following operations:

• to filter unicast frames when the promiscuous mode is

disabled (refer to

Command_Config Register (Dword

Offset 0x02)

on page 6-7 for the description of the

PROMIS_EN

bit).

• to replace the source address in transmit frames received

from the user application when address insertion is
enabled (refer to

Command_Config Register (Dword

Offset 0x02)

on page 6-7 for the description of the

TX_ADDR_INS

and

TX_ADDR_SEL

bits).

If you do not require the use of supplementary addresses,
configure them to the primary address.
