Ethernet MAC broadcast / multicast filtering

Postby erzykih » Mon Jun 08, 2020 6:10 pm

Hi,
i would like to ask if there is an API function to configure the MAC to filter out (not accept) multicast and broadcast Ethernet frames. Ethernet is connected wired through external PHY.
I found some specification on that in the reference manual but nothing in the API interface.

Multicast and Broadcast are enabled by default in the driver, we didn't provide any API to disable it. May I know the background that you want this feature?
