Getting unfiltered packets from real time mac

Post by gerrykurz »

Is it possible to get the real time mac to send all packets that it receives to an application without mac address filtering?

How is the case handled when a mac with multiple receive clients receives a packet with it's own mac address? Do all receive clients get this packet? Or do clients have to set up filtering with using the own mac address?

In lib_ethernet 3.0.3, it appears that the only way for a receive client to get a packet is to set up a mac address filter (or an ethertype filter).

Is this correct?

There also seems to be no promiscuous mode.

Also correct?

Yes, for both.

The lib_ethernet user guide should be much better at explaining this.
