The look up engine will insert the qualified Source Address into the table, along with the port number and time stamp.
If the table is full, the last entry of the table will be deleted to make room for the new entry.
2.4.3
The internal look up engine also monitors whether a station has moved. If so, it will update the table accordingly.
Migration happens when the following conditions are met:
The look up engine will update the existing record in the table with the new source port information.
2.4.4
The look up engine will update the time stamp information of a record whenever the corresponding Source Address
appears. The time stamp is used in the aging process. If a record is not updated for a period of time, the look up
engine will remove the record from the table. The look up engine constantly performs the aging process and will
continuously remove aging records. The aging period is 300 + 75 seconds. This feature can be enabled or disabled
through Global Register 3 (0x03).
2.4.5
The KS8993F will forward packets using an algorithm that is depicted in the following flowcharts.
one of the forwarding algorithm where the search engine looks up the VLAN ID, static table, and dynamic table for the
destination address, and comes up with “port to forward 1” (PTF1). PTF1 is then further modified by Spanning Tree,
Port Mirroring and Port VLAN processes to come up with “port to forward 2” (PTF2) as shown in
where the packet will be sent.
