Erroneous RX Frame

When an error condition is detected, the Triple Speed Ethernet MAC core validates the frame against the following precedence rules. Only the highest-priority error counter is incremented.

For any error listed below, the Triple Speed Ethernet MAC core performs the following actions:
  • Asserts rx_axis_mac_tuser to flag the frame as invalid.
  • Increments the ifInErrors statistic counter.
Table 1. RX Statistic Counter Precedence
Priority Condition Statistic Counter Incremented
1 (Highest) Undersized
(Received frame is < 64 bytes)
etherStatsUndersizePkts
2 Oversized
(Received frame exceeds the configured frm_length)
etherStatsOversizePkts
3 FCS Error
(Received frame has valid size but fails CRC)
aFrameCheckSequenceErrors
4 (Lowest) Length Mismatch
(Received frame has valid size, but Length/ Type field does not match actual payload)
