Description
The ZL50408 is a low density, low cost, high performance, non-blocking Ethernet switch chip. A single chip
provides 8 ports at 10/100 Mbps, 1 uplink port at 10/100/1000 Mbps, and a CPU interface for managed, lightly
managed and unmanaged switch applications. The chip supports up to 4 K MAC addresses and up to 4 K
tagged-based Virtual LANs (VLANs).
With strict priority and/or WFQ transmission scheduling and WRED dropping schemes, the ZL50408 provides
powerful QoS functions for various multimedia and mission-critical applications. The chip provides 2 transmission
priorities (4 priorities for uplink port) and 2 levels of dropping precedence. Each packet is assigned a transmission
priority and dropping precedence based on the VLAN priority field in a VLAN tagged frame, or the DS/TOS field, or
the UDP/TCP logical port fields in IP packets. The ZL50408 recognizes a total of 16 UDP/TCP logical ports, 8
hard-wired and 8 programmable (including one programmable range).
The ZL50408 provides the ability to monitor a link, detect a simple link failure, and provide notification of the failure
to the CPU. The CPU can then failover that link to an alternate link.
The ZL50408 supports 8 groups of port trunking/load sharing. Each group can contain up to 8 ports. Port
trunking/load sharing can be used to group ports between interlinked switches to increase the effective network
bandwidth.
In half-duplex mode, all ports support backpressure flow control, to minimize the risk of losing data during long
activity bursts. In full-duplex mode, IEEE 802.3x flow control is provided. The ZL50408 also supports a per-system
option to enable flow control for best effort frames, even on QoS-enabled ports.
Statistical information for SNMP and the Remote Monitoring Management Information Base (RMON MIB) are
collected independently for all ports. Access to these statistical counters/registers is provided via the CPU interface.
SNMP Management frames can be received and transmitted via the CPU interface, creating a complete network
management solution.
The ZL50408 is fabricated using 0.18 micron technology. The ZL50408 is packaged in a 208-pin Ball Grid Array
package.

Bootstrap Options
TSTOUT[15:0], M[7:0]_TXEN, M9_TXEN and M9_TXER pins serve as bootstrap pins during device power-up or
reset. Please refer to “Typical Reset & Bootstrap Timing Diagram” on page 118 for more information on when the
bootstrap pins are sampled. The bootstrap pins require external pull-up/down resistors for proper operation.
The table below summarizes the bootstrap options.
Feature
CPU Interface
Description
The ZL50408 allows the selection of 5 different management interfaces:
8/16-bit parallel, serial with MII, serial only and unmanaged serial with I2C
EEPROM.
TSTOUT[3:1] is used to select the interface options mentioned above. If the
serial interface is selected, addition bootstrap options are required:
• TSTOUT[0] enables or disables the DEBOUNCE feature (refer to
“Synchronous Serial Interface” on page 29)
• TSTOUT[6:4] selects the device ID
Also, an optional I2C EEPROM can be used to configure the device at
power-up or reset. TSTOUT[7] selects the EEPROM option.
Ethernet Interface
The ZL50408 supports module hotswap on all it's ports. This is enabled via
TSTOUT[9]. When enabled, bootstrap pins M[7:0]_TXEN (ports 0-7) and
M9-TXEN & M9_TXER (port 9) are used to specify the module type to support
multiple ethernet interfaces during module hotswap.
Another feature is the MAC power savings mode. When enabled via
TSTOUT[11], each port's MAC will detect inactivity on the port and go into a
power savings state. Once activity is detected once again on the port, the MAC
will come out of this state.
For the gigabit port, an optional feature to support half duplex is available. This
option should only be enabled if the PHY supports the half duplex functionality.
Misc. Features
One other feature selected via bootstrap is Timeout Reset Enable
(TSTOUT[12]). This enables a monitoring block with the device which will
detect if any hardware state machine is in a non-idle state for more than 5
seconds.
Refer to section 2.7 for more details on this feature.

Internal Memory
Two Megabit of internal memory is provided for ethernet Frame Data Buffering (FDB), storing of MAC Control Table
database (MCT), and the Network Management (NM) Database statistics counters and MIB.
The MCT is used for storing MAC addresses and their physical port number. The FDB is used for storing the
received frame data contents. The contents are stored in this memory until it is ready to be transmitted to the
egress port.
A memory arbiter is used to arbitrary the memory access requests from various sources. A Built In Self Test (BIST)
is used to detect any error in the memory array when the device is powered up. The BIST can also be requested by
the writing to the GCR register.

CPU MAC Module (CMAC)
The CPU Media Access Control (CMAC) module provides the necessary buffers and control interface between the
Frame Engine (FE) and the external CPU device. It support either a Reverse MII interface, providing the necessary
interface TX and RX clocks to the CPU, or a register access mechanism via the 8/16-bit or serial interface.
Using the MII interface, the CMAC of the ZL50408 device meets the IEEE 802.3 specification. It is able to operate
in either Half or Full Duplex mode with a back pressure/flow control mechanism. In addition, it will automatically
retransmit upon collision for up to 16 total transmissions.
This port is denoted as port 8.
2.2.3
GMII MAC Module (GMAC)
The GMII Media Access Control (GMAC) module provides the necessary buffers and control interface between the

which offers a simple migration from 10/100 to 1G.
The GMAC of the ZL50408 device meets the IEEE 802.3Z specification. It is able to operate in 10M/100M either
Half or Full Duplex mode with a back pressure/flow control mechanism or in 1G Full duplex mode with flow control
mechanism. Furthermore, it will automatically retransmit upon collision for up to 16 total transmissions.
This port is denoted as port 9. The PHY address for the PHY device connected to the GMAC port has to be 10h.

Management Module
The CPU can send a control frame to access or configure the internal network management database. The
Management Module decodes the control frame and executes the functions requested by the CPU.
This module is only active in managed mode. In unmanaged mode, no control frame is accepted by the device.
2.4
Frame Engine
The main function of the frame engine is to forward a frame to its proper destination port or ports. When a frame
arrives, the frame engine parses the frame header (64 bytes) and formulates a switching request, sent to the
search engine, to resolve the destination port. The arriving frame is moved to the internal memory. After receiving a
switch response from the search engine, the frame engine performs transmission scheduling based on the frame’s
priority. The frame engine forwards the frame to the MAC module when the frame is ready to be sent.

Data Sheet
Search Engine
The Search Engine resolves the frame’s destination port or ports according to the destination MAC address (L2) or
IP multicast address (IP multicast packet) by searching the database. It also performs MAC learning, priority
assignment, and trunking functions.
2.6
Heartbeat Packet Generation and Response
The ZL50408 provides the ability to monitor a link and detect a simple link failure. The Link Heart Beat (LHB) packet
generation module allows simultaneous tracking of all the RMAC ports.
Periodically, a LHB message will be sent for each link when inactivity is detected with in a programmable time
period, If a reply is not received in a specified amount of time, the failover detection module will identify a
point-to-point failure for that link. The failover detection module will then interrupt the CPU.
The LHB packet response module can also reply to LHB messages initiated by other ZL50408 devices in the
system, or by non-ZL50408 devices which use a conventional and recognizable LHB message format.
2.7
Timeout Reset Monitor
The ZL50408 supports a state machine monitoring block which can trigger a reset or interrupt if any state machine
is determined to be stuck in a non-idle state for more than 5 seconds. This feature is enabled via a bootstrap pin
(TSTOUT12). It also requires some register configuration via the CPU interface.
See Programming Timeout Reset application note, ZLAN-41, for more information.
2.8
JTAG
An IEEE1149.1 compliant test interface is provided for boundary scan.

Management and Configuration
One extra port is dedicated to the CPU via the CPU interface module. Three modes this port can operate:
managed, lightly managed or unmanaged mode. The different between these modes is tx/rx Ethernet frame, tx/rx
control frame and receiving interrupt due to the lack of constant attention or processing power from the CPU.
The CPU interface utilizes a 8/16-bit bus in managed mode. It also supports a serial+MII, serial only, and an I2C
interface, which provides an easy and lower cost way to configure the system for reduced management.

Register Configuration, Frame Transmission, and Frame Reception
Register Configuration
The ZL50408 has many programmable parameters, covering such functions as QoS weights, VLAN control, and
port mirroring setup. In managed mode, the CPU interface provides an easy way of configuring these parameters.
The parameters are contained in 8-bit configuration registers. The device allows indirect access to these registers,
as follows:
•
•
•
If operating in 8-bit interface mode, two “index” registers (addresses 000b and 001b) need to be written, to
indicate the desired 16-bit register address. In 16-bit mode, only one register (address 000b) needs to be
written for the desired 16-bit register address.
In serial mode, the address, command and data are shifted in serially. To access the configuration registers,
only one “index” register (addresses 000b) needs to be written with the configuration register address. The
desired data can be written into or read from the “data” register (address 010b).
• For example, if “XX” is required to be written to register “YY”, a write of “YY” is required to write to
address “000b” (Index register). Then, a write of “XX” is required to write to address “010b” (Data
Register). This completes the register write and register “YY” will contain the value of “XX”.
To indirectly configure the register addressed by the index register(s), a “data” register (address 010b) must
be written with the desired 8-bit data.
• The ZL50408 supports special register-write in serial and 16-bit mode. This allows CPU to write to two
consecutive configuration registers in a single write operation. By writing to bit[14] of configuration
26
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
register address, CPU can write 16-bit data to address 010b. Lower 8 bit of data is for the address
specified in index register and upper 8 bit of data is for the address + 1. In 8-bit mode, this special feature
will be ignored.

12 Bit Register Address
Similarly, to read the value in the register addressed by the index register(s), the “data” register can now
simply be read.
The ZL50408 supports an incremental read/write. If CPU requires to read or write to the configuration
registers incrementally, CPU only has to write to index register once with the MSB of configuration register
address set and then CPU can continuously reading or writing to “data” register (010b).
In summary, access to the many internal registers is carried out simply by directly accessing only two registers –
one register to indicate the index of the desired parameter, and one register to read or write a value. Of course,
because there is only one bus master, there can never be any conflict between reading and writing the
configuration registers.
3.1.2
Rx/Tx of Standard Ethernet Frames
In serial mode with MII, the MII interface is used for CPU to transmit and receive Ethernet frames. In 8/16-bit or
serial only mode, the Ethernet frame is transmitted and received through the CPU interface. There is no ability to
send/receive Ethernet frames in unmanaged mode.
To transmit a frame from the CPU in 8/16-bit or serial only mode:
•
•
The CPU writes to the “data frame” register (address 011) with the frame size, destination port number, and
frame status. After writing all the transmitting status bytes, it then writes the data it wants to transmit
(minimum 64 bytes).
The ZL50408 forwards the Ethernet frame to the desired destination port, no longer distinguishing the fact
that the frame originated from the CPU.
To receive a frame into the CPU in 8/16-bit or serial only mode:
•
•
•
The CPU receives an interrupt when an Ethernet frame is available to be received.
Frame information arrives first in the data frame register. This includes source port number, frame size, and
VLAN tag.
The actual data follows the frame information. The CPU uses the frame size information to read the frame
out.
To transmit a frame from the CPU with MII interface:
•
•
•
ZL50408 acts as a PHY to provide receive clock (RXCLK) to CPU so the CPU will depend on this receive
clock to send packets to ZL50408
ZL50408 has the ability to halt the receive clock if the receive FIFO of ZL50408 is overflow. Transmitting from
CPU to ZL50408 will resume once the receive FIFO of ZL50408 is no longer overflow
Follow the standard Ethernet transmission format. CPU assert receive data valid (RXDV) before transmitting
data to ZL50408 and de-assert RXDV after transmitting the last data
To receive a frame into the CPU with MII interface:
•
•
•
ZL50408 acts as a PHY to provide transmit clock (TXCLK) to CPU so the CPU will depend on the transmit
clock to receive packets from ZL50408
ZL50408 has the ability to halt the transmit clock if the transmit FIFO of ZL50408 is under-run. CPU will
resume receiving packets from ZL50408 once the transmit FIFO of ZL50408 is no longer under-run
Follow the standard Ethernet transmission format. CPU will see transmit enable (TXEN) be asserted by
ZL50408 and CPU can start receiving data. CPU will stop receiving data once TXEN is de-asserted by
ZL50408.
27
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
In summary, in 8/16-bit or serial only mode, receiving and transmitting frames to and from the CPU is a simple
process that uses one direct access register only. In serial mode with MII interface, the CPU will be allowed to
transmit and receive frames using standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet transmission format.
The details of sending an Ethernet Frame via the CPU interface is described in the Processor Interface Application
Note, ZLAN-26.
3.1.3
Control Frames
In addition to standard Ethernet frames described in the preceding section, the CPU is also called upon to handle
special “Control frames,” generated by the ZL50408 and sent to the CPU. These proprietary frames are related to
such tasks as statistics collection, MAC address learning, and aging, etc… All Control frames are up to 40 bytes
long. Transmitting and receiving these frames is similar to transmitting and receiving Ethernet frames, except that
the register accessed is the “Control frame data” register (address 111).
Specifically, there are the following types of control frames generated by the CPU and sent to the ZL50408:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Memory read request

Learn Unicast MAC address
Delete Unicast MAC address
Search Unicast MAC address
Learn IP Multicast address

Note: Memory read and write requests by the CPU may include all internal memories which include statistic
counters, MAC address control link table and the 2Mbit (256KB) memory block.
In addition, the following types of Control frames are generated by the ZL50408 and sent to the CPU:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Interrupt CPU when statistics counter rolls over
Response to memory read request from CPU
Learn Unicast MAC address
Delete Unicast MAC address

Response to search Multicast MAC address request from CPU
The format of the Control Frame is described in the Processor Interface application note, ZLAN-26.
3.2
I2C Interface
The I²C interface serves the function of configuring the ZL50408 at boot time. The master is the ZL50408, and the
slave is the EEPROM memory.
The I²C interface uses two bus lines, a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SCL line carries the
control signals that facilitate the transfer of information from EEPROM to the switch. Data transfer is 8-bit serial and
bidirectional, at 50 Kbps. Data transfer is performed between master and slave IC using a request /
acknowledgment style of protocol. The master IC generates the timing signals and terminates data transfer. Figure
6 depicts the data transfer format. The slave address is the memory address of the EEPROM. Refer to “ZL50408
Register Description” on page 56 for I²C address for each register.

3.2.1
Start Condition
Generated by the master (in our case, the ZL50408). The bus is considered to be busy after the Start condition is
generated. The Start condition occurs if while the SCL line is High, there is a High-to-Low transition of the SDA line.
Other than in the Start condition (and Stop condition), the data on the SDA line must be stable during the High
period of SCL. The High or Low state of SDA can only change when SCL is Low. In addition, when the I²C bus is
free, both lines are High.
3.2.2
Address
The first byte after the Start condition determines which slave the master will select. The slave in our case is the
EEPROM. The first seven bits of the first data byte make up the slave address.
3.2.3
Data Direction
The eighth bit in the first byte after the Start condition determines the direction (R/W) of the message. A master
transmitter sets this bit to W; a master receiver sets this bit to R.
3.2.4
Acknowledgment
Like all clock pulses, the acknowledgment-related clock pulse is generated by the master. However, the transmitter
releases the SDA line (High) during the acknowledgment clock pulse. Furthermore, the receiver must pull down the
SDA line during the acknowledge pulse so that it remains stable Low during the High period of this clock pulse. An
acknowledgment pulse follows every byte transfer.
If a slave receiver does not acknowledge after any byte, then the master generates a Stop condition and aborts the
transfer.
If a master receiver does not acknowledge after any byte, then the slave transmitter must release the SDA line to let
the master generate the Stop condition.
3.2.5
Data
After the first byte containing the address, all bytes that follow are data bytes. Each byte must be followed by an
acknowledge bit. Data is transferred MSB first.
3.2.6
Stop Condition
Generated by the master. The bus is considered to be free after the Stop condition is generated. The Stop condition
occurs if while the SCL line is High, there is a Low-to-High transition of the SDA line.
3.3
Synchronous Serial Interface
The synchronous serial interface (SSI) serves the function of configuring the ZL50408 not at boot time but via a PC.
The PC serves as master and the ZL50408 serves as slave. The protocol for the synchronous serial interface is
nearly identical to the I²C protocol. The main difference is that there is no acknowledgment bit after each byte of
data transferred. Debounce logic on the clock signal (STROBE) can be turned off to speedup command time.
3 ID bits are used to allow up to eight ZL50408 devices to share the same synchronous serial interface. The ID of
each device can be setup by bootstrap.
To reduce the number of signals required, the register address, command and data are shifted in serially through
the DATAIN pin. STROBE- pin is used as the shift clock. DATAOUT pin is used as data return path.

be aborted before issuing the read command to the ZL50408.
A START command is detected when DATAIN is sampled high when STROBE- rise and DATAIN is sampled low
when STROBE- fall.
An ABORT command is detected when DATAIN is sampled low when STROBE- rise and DATAIN is sampled high
when STROBE- fall.

Write Command
All registers in ZL50408 can be modified through this synchronous serial interface. Once the data has been sent,
two extra STOBE clocks must be generated to indicate the end of the write command. The DATAIN line should be
held high for these two pulses.

Data Forwarding Protocol
4.1
Unicast Data Frame Forwarding
Data Sheet
When a frame arrives, it is assigned a handle in memory by the Frame Control Buffer Manager (FCB Manager). An
FCB handle will always be available, because of advance buffer reservations.
The memory (SRAM) interface is a 64-bit bus, connected to internal memory block. The Receive DMA (RxDMA) is
responsible for multiplexing the data and the address. On a port’s “turn”, the RxDMA will move 8 bytes (or up to the
end-of-frame) from the port’s associated RxFIFO into memory (Frame Data Buffer, or FDB).
Once an entire frame has been moved to the FDB, and a good end-of-frame (EOF) has been received, the Rx
interface makes a switch request. The RxDMA arbitrates among multiple switch requests.
The switch request consists of the first 64 bytes of a frame, containing among other things, the source and
destination MAC addresses of the frame. The search engine places a switch response in the switch response
queue of the frame engine when done. Among other information, the search engine will have resolved the
destination port of the frame and will have determined that the frame is unicast.
After processing the switch response, the Transmission Queue Manager (TxQ manager) of the frame engine is
responsible for notifying the destination port that it has a frame to forward. But first, the TxQ manager has to decide
whether or not to drop the frame, based on global FDB reservations and usage, as well as TxQ occupancy at the
destination. If the frame is not dropped, then the TxQ manager links the frame’s FCB to the correct
per-port-per-class TxQ. The switch response will come with 8 classified results. The TxQ manager will map this
result into the per-port-per-class queue. Unicast TxQ’s are linked lists of transmission jobs, represented by their
associated frames’ FCB’s. There is one linked list for each transmission class for each port. There are 2
transmission classes for each of the 8 RMAC ports, and 4 classes for the GMAC and CPU ports – a total of 24
unicast queues.
The TxQ manager is responsible for scheduling transmission among the queues representing different classes for a
port. When the port control module determines that there is room in the MAC Transmission FIFO (TxFIFO) for
another frame, it requests the handle of a new frame from the TxQ manager. The TxQ manager chooses among
the head-of-line (HOL) frames from the per-class queues for that port, using a Zarlink Semiconductor scheduling
algorithm.
The Transmission DMA (TxDMA) is responsible for multiplexing the data and the address. On a port’s turn, the
TxDMA will move 8 bytes (or up to the EOF) from memory into the port’s associated TxFIFO. After reading the EOF,
the port control requests a FCB release for that frame. The TxDMA arbitrates among multiple buffer release
requests.
The frame is transmitted from the TxFIFO to the line.
4.2
Multicast Data Frame Forwarding
After receiving the switch response, the TxQ manager has to make the dropping decision. A global decision to drop
can be made, based on global FDB utilization and reservations. If so, then the FCB is released and the frame is
dropped. In addition, a selective decision to drop can be made, based on the TxQ occupancy at some subset of
the multicast packet’s destinations. If so, then the frame is dropped at some destinations but not others, and the
FCB is not released.
If the frame is not dropped at a particular destination port, then the TxQ manager formats an entry in the multicast
queue for that port and class. Multicast queues are physical queues (unlike the linked lists for unicast frames).
There are 2 multicast queues for each of the 8 RMAC ports. There are 4 multicast queues for the GMAC and CPU
ports. The mapping from the classified result to the priority queue is the same as the unicast traffic. By default, for
the RMAC ports to map the 8 transmit priorities into 2 multicast queues, the 2 LSB are discarded. For the GMAC
and CPU ports, to map the 8 transmit priorities into 4 multicast queues, the LSB is discarded. The priority mapping
can be modified through memory configuration command. The multicast queue that is in FIFO format shares the
space in the internal memory block. The size and starting address can also be programmed through memory
configuration command.
31
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
During scheduling, the TxQ manager treats the unicast queue and the multicast queue of the same class as one
logical queue. The older head of line of the two queues is forwarded first. The port control requests a FCB release
only after the EOF for the multicast frame has been read by all ports to which the frame is destined.
4.3
Frame Forwarding To and From CPU
Frame forwarding from the CPU port to a regular transmission port is nearly the same as forwarding between
transmission ports. The only difference is that the physical destination port must be indicated in addition to the
destination MAC address.
Frame forwarding to the CPU port is nearly the same as forwarding to a regular transmission port. The only
difference is in frame scheduling.
Instead of using the patent-pending Zarlink Semiconductor scheduling
algorithms, scheduling for the CPU port is simply based on strict priority. That is, a frame in a high priority queue will
always be transmitted before a frame in a lower priority queue. There are four output queues to the CPU and one
receive queue.

5.2
Basic Flow
Shortly after a frame enters the ZL50408 and is written to the Frame Data Buffer (FDB), the frame engine generates
a Switch Request, which is sent to the search engine. The switch request consists of the first 64 bytes of the frame,
which contain all the necessary information for the search engine to perform its task. When the search engine is
done, it writes to the Switch Response Queue, and the frame engine uses the information provided in that queue for
scheduling and forwarding.
In performing its task, the search engine extracts and compresses the useful information from the 64-byte switch
request. Among the information extracted are the source and destination MAC addresses, the packet’s VLAN ID,
and whether the frame is unicast or multicast or broadcast. Requests are sent to the SRAM to locate the associated
entries in the MCT table.
When all the information has been collected from the SRAM, the search engine has to compare the MAC address
on the current entry with the MAC address for which it is searching. If it is not a match, the process is repeated on
the internal MCT Table. All MCT entries other than the first of each linked list are maintained internal to the chip. If
the desired MAC address is still not found, then the result is either learning (source MAC address unknown) or
flooding (destination MAC address unknown).
In addition, VLAN information is used to select the correct set of destination ports for the frame (for multicast), or to
verify that the frame’s destination port is associated with the VLAN (for unicast).
If the destination MAC address belongs to a port trunk, then the trunk number is retrieved instead of the port
number. But on which port of the trunk will the frame be transmitted? This is easily computed using a hash of the
source and destination MAC addresses.
32
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
When all the information is compiled, the switch response is generated, as stated earlier. The search engine also
interacts with the CPU with regard to learning and aging.
5.3
5.3.1
Search, Learning, and Aging
MAC Search
The search block performs source MAC address and destination MAC address (or destination IP address for IP
multicast) searching. As we indicated earlier, if a match is not found, then the next entry in the linked list must be
examined, and so on until a match is found or the end of the list is reached.
In tag-based VLAN mode, if the frame is unicast, and the frame's destination port is recognized as a member of the
VLAN, then the frame is forwarded to that port; otherwise, the frame is forwarded to all the members in the VLAN
domain. If the frame is multicast or broadcast, the frame is forwarded to all the members in the VLAN. Moreover, if
port trunking is enabled, this block selects the destination port (among those in the trunk group).
In port based VLAN mode, a bitmap is used to determine whether the frame should be forwarded to the outgoing
port. The main difference in this mode is that the bitmap is not dynamic. Ports cannot enter and exit groups
because of real-time learning made by a CPU.
The MAC search block is also responsible for updating the source MAC address timestamp used for aging.
5.3.2
Learning
The learning module learns new MAC addresses and performs port change operations on the MCT database. The
goal of learning is to update this database as the networking environment changes over time.
When CPU reporting is enabled, learning and port change will be performed when the CPU request queue has
room, and a “Learn MAC Address” message is sent to the CPU.
5.3.3
Aging
Aging time is controlled by register 400h and 401h.
The aging module scans and ages MCT entries based on a programmable “age out” time interval. As we indicated
earlier, the search module updates the source MAC address timestamps for each frame it processes. When an
entry is ready to be aged, the entry is removed from the table, and a “Delete MAC Address” message is sent to
inform the CPU.
Supported MAC entry types are: dynamic, static, source filter, destination filter, IP multicast, source and destination
filter, secure and multicast MAC address. Only dynamic entries can be aged; all others are static. The MAC entry
type is stored in the “status” field of the MCT data structure.
5.4
MAC Address Filtering
The ZL50408's implementation of intelligent traffic switching provides filters for source and destination MAC
addresses. This feature filters unnecessary traffic, thereby providing intelligent control over traffic flows and
broadcast traffic.
Broadcast, unknown unicast and unknown multicast MAC address can also be filter on per VLAN basis.
MAC address filtering allows the ZL50408 to block an incoming packet to an interface when it sees a specified MAC
address in either the source address or destination address of the incoming packet. For example, if your network is
congested because of high utilization from a MAC address, you can filter all traffic transmitted from that address
and restore network flow, while you troubleshoot the problem.
33

5.5
Data Sheet
Protocol Filtering
Packet filtering can be performed based on protocol type field in the packets. Up to eight protocols can be
programmed to filter or allow packet to pass through the switch.
5.6
Logical Port Filtering
Similar to protocol filtering, if the packet’s logical ports match the programmable registers, the packet can be filtered
or passed through the switch. Up to eight programmable ports and one ranges can be assigned.
5.7
Quality of Service
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the ability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over
various technologies. Primary goals of QoS include dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by
some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics.
Traditional Ethernet networks have had no prioritization of traffic. Without a protocol to prioritize or differentiate
traffic, a service level known as “best effort” attempts to get all the packets to their intended destinations with
minimum delay; however, there are no guarantees. In a congested network or when a low-performance
switch/router is overloaded, “best effort” becomes unsuitable for delay-sensitive traffic and mission-critical data
transmission.
The advent of QoS for packet-based systems accommodates the integration of delay-sensitive video and
multimedia traffic onto any existing Ethernet network. It also alleviates the congestion issues that have previously
plagued such “best effort” networking systems. QoS provides Ethernet networks with the breakthrough technology
to prioritize traffic and ensure that a certain transmission will have a guaranteed minimum amount of bandwidth.
Extensive core QoS mechanisms are built into the ZL50408 architecture to ensure policy enforcement and
buffering of the ingress port, as well as weighted fair-queue (WFQ) scheduling at the egress port.
In the ZL50408, QoS-based policies sort traffic into a small number of classes and mark the packets accordingly.
The QoS identifier provides specific treatment to traffic in different classes, so that different quality of service is
provided to each class. Frame and packet scheduling and discarding policies are determined by the class to which
the frames and packets belong. For example, the overall service given to frames and packets in the premium class
will be better than that given to the standard class; the premium class is expected to experience lower loss rate or
delay.
The ZL50408 supports the following QoS techniques:
•
•
•
•
In a port-based setup, any station connected to the same physical port of the switch will have the same
transmit priority.
In a tag-based setup, a 3-bit field in the VLAN tag provides the priority of the packet. This priority can be
mapped to different queues in the switch to provide QoS.
In a TOS/DS-based set up, TOS stands for “Type of Service” that may include “minimize delay,” “maximize
throughput,” or “maximize reliability.” Network nodes may select routing paths or forwarding behaviours that
are suitably engineered to satisfy the service request.
In a logical port-based set up, a logical port provides the application information of the packet. Certain
applications are more sensitive to delays than others; using logical ports to classify packets can help speed
up delay sensitive applications, such as VoIP.

Port and Tag Based VLAN
The ZL50408 supports two models for determining and controlling how a packet gets assigned to a VLAN: port
priority and tag -based VLAN.
5.9.1
Port-Based VLAN
An administrator can use the PVMAP Registers to configure the ZL50408 for port-based VLAN (see “Register
Definition” on page 56). For example, ports 1-3 might be assigned to the Marketing VLAN, ports 4-6 to the
Engineering VLAN, and ports 7-9 to the Administrative VLAN. The ZL50408 determines the VLAN membership of
each packet by noting the port on which it arrives. From there, the ZL50408 determines which outgoing port(s)
is/are eligible to transmit each packet, or whether the packet should be discarded.

Table 7 - Port-Based VLAN Mapping
For example, in the above table a 1 denotes that an outgoing port is eligible to receive a packet from an incoming
port. A 0 (zero) denotes that an outgoing port is not eligible to receive a packet from an incoming port.
In this example:
•
•
•
Data packets received at port #0 are eligible to be sent to outgoing ports 1 and 2.
Data packets received at port #1 are eligible to be sent to outgoing ports 0 and 2.
Data packets received at port #2 are NOT eligible to be sent to ports 0 and 1.
5.9.2
Tag-Based VLAN
The ZL50408 supports the IEEE 802.1q specification for “tagging” frames. The specification defines a way to
coordinate VLANs across multiple switches. In the specification, an additional 4-octet header (or “tag”) is inserted in
a frame after the source MAC address and before the frame type. 12 bits of the tag are used to define the VLAN ID.
Packets are then switched through the network with each ZL50408 simply swapping the incoming tag for an
appropriate forwarding tag rather than processing each packet's contents to determine the path. This approach
minimizes the processing needed once the packet enters the tag-switched network. In addition, coordinating VLAN
IDs across multiple switches enables VLANs to extend to multiple switches.
Up to 4 K VLANs are supported in the ZL50408. When tag-based VLAN is enabled, each MAC address is learned
with it associated VLAN.
See IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Setup application note, ZLAN-51, for more information.
5.9.3
VLAN Stacking (Q-in-Q)
The ZL50408 partially supports VLAN stacking, also called IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q. This technology allows an additional
VLAN tag, called a provider VLAN tag, to be inserted into an existing IEEE 802.1Q tagged Ethernet frame. This
technology has been widely adapted in Metro Ethernet applications since it provides a very cost-effective solution
to transport multiple customers' VLAN across the service provider's MAN/WAN without interfering each other. The
below figure illustrates the IEEE 802.1Q frame and the Q-in-Q frame, where the provider VLAN tag is inserted in
front of the IEEE 802.1Q tag.

provides a global configurable TPID but only supports the Exterme EtherType TPID (i.e. the stacked VLAN tag
cannot equal 0x81-00).
See Stacked VLAN application note, ZLAN-82, for more information.
5.10
IP Muticast Switching
The ZL50408 supports IP Multicast Filtering by:
•
•
Passively snooping on the IGMP Query and IGMP Report packets transferred between IP Multicast Routers
and IP Multicast host groups to learn IP Multicast group members, and
Actively sending IGMP Query messages to solicit IP Multicast group members.
The purpose of IP multicast filtering is to optimize a switched network performance, so multicast packets will only
be forwarded to those ports containing multicast group hosts members and routers instead of flooding to all ports in
the subnet (VLAN).
The ZL50408 with IP multicast filtering/switching capability not only passively monitor IGMP Query and Report
messages, DVMRP Probe messages, PIM, and MOSPF Hello messages; they also actively send IGMP Query
messages to learn locations of multicast routers and member hosts in multicast groups within each VLAN.
See IP Multicast Switching application note, ZLAN-52, for more information.
6.0
Frame Engine
6.1
Data Forwarding Summary
When a frame enters the device at the RxMAC, the RxDMA will move the data from the MAC RxFIFO to the FDB.
Data is moved in 8-byte granules in conjunction with the scheme for the SRAM interface.
A switch request is sent to the Search Engine. The Search Engine processes the switch request.
A switch response is sent back to the Frame Engine and indicates whether the frame is unicast or multicast, and its
destination port or ports. On receiving the response, the Frame Engine will check all the QoS related information
and decide if this frame can be forwarded.
37
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
A Transmission Scheduling Request is sent in the form of a signal notifying the TxQ manager. Upon receiving a
Transmission Scheduling Request, the device will format an entry in the appropriate Transmission Scheduling
Queue (TxSch Q) or Queues. There are 2 TxSch Q for each RMAC port (and 4 per GMAC and CPU ports), one for
each priority. Creation of a queue entry either involves linking a new job to the appropriate linked list if unicast, or
adding an entry to a physical queue if multicast.
When the port is ready to accept the next frame, the TxQ manager will get the head-of-line (HOL) entry of one of
the TxSch Qs, according to the transmission scheduling algorithm (so as to ensure per-class quality of service).
(The unicast linked list and the multicast queue for the same port-class pair are treated as one logical queue. The
older HOL between the two queues goes first.
The TxDMA will pull frame data from the memory and forward it granule-by-granule to the MAC TxFIFO of the
destination port.
6.2
Frame Engine Details
This section briefly describes the functions of each of the modules of the ZL50408 frame engine.
6.2.1
FCB Manager
The FCB manager allocates FCB handles to incoming frames, and releases FCB handles upon frame departure.
The FCB manager is also responsible for enforcing buffer reservations and limits that will be used for QoS control
and source port flow control. The default values can be determined by referring to Section 7.6 on page 42. The
frame buffer is managed in a 128bytes block unit. During initialization, this block will link all the available blocks in a
free buffer list. When each port is ready to receive, this module hands the buffer handle to each requesting port.
The FCB manager will also link the released buffer back into the free buffer list.
The maximum buffer size can be increased from the standard 1518 bytes (1522 with VLAN tag) to up to 4 K bytes.
This is done using BUF_LIMIT, and is enabled on a per port basis via bit [1] in ECR3Pn. See Buffer Allocation
application note, ZLAN-47, for more information.
6.2.2
Rx Interface
The Rx interface is mainly responsible for communicating with the RxMAC. It keeps track of the start and end of
frame and frame status (good or bad). Upon receiving an end of frame that is good, the Rx interface makes a switch
request.
6.2.3
RxDMA
The RxDMA arbitrates among switch requests from each Rx interface. It also buffers the first 64 bytes of each
frame for use by the search engine when the switch request has been made.
6.2.4
TxQ Manager
First, the TxQ manager checks the per-class queue status and global reserved resource situation, and using this
information, makes the frame dropping decision after receiving a switch response. The dropping decision includes
the head-of-link blocking avoidance if the source port is not flow control enabled. If the decision is not to drop, the
TxQ manager links the unicast frame’s FCB to the correct per-port-per-class TxQ and updates the FCB information.
If multicast, the TxQ manager writes to the multicast queue for that port and class and also update the FCB
information including the duplicate count for this multicast frame. The TxQ manager can also trigger source port
flow control for the incoming frame’s source if that port is flow control enabled. Second, the TxQ manager handles
transmission scheduling; it schedules transmission among the queues representing different classes for a port.
Once a frame has been scheduled, the TxQ manager reads the FCB information and writes to the correct port
control module. The detail of the QoS decision guideline is described in chapter 5.

ZL50408
6.2.5
Data Sheet
Port Control
The port control module calculates the SRAM read address for the frame currently being transmitted. It also writes
start of frame information and an end of frame flag to the MAC TxFIFO. When transmission is done, the port control
module requests that the buffer be released.
6.2.6
TxDMA
The TxDMA multiplexes data and address from port control, and arbitrates among buffer release requests from the
port control modules.

Quality of Service and Flow Control
7.1
Model
Quality of service is an all-encompassing term for which different people have different interpretations. In general,
the approach to quality of service described here assumes that we do not know the offered traffic pattern. We also
assume that the incoming traffic is not policed or shaped. Furthermore, we assume that the network manager
knows his applications, such as voice, file transfer, or web browsing, and their relative importance. The manager
can then subdivide the applications into classes and set up a service contract with each. The contract may consist
of bandwidth or latency assurances per class. Sometimes it may even reflect an estimate of the traffic mix offered to
the switch. As an added bonus, although we do not assume anything about the arrival pattern, if the incoming traffic
is policed or shaped, we may be able to provide additional assurances about our switch’s performance.
Table 8 shows examples of QoS applications with three transmission priorities, but best effort (P0) traffic may form
a fourth class with no bandwidth or latency assurances. GMAC port actually has four total transmission priorities.

Table 8 - Two-dimensional World Traffic
A class is capable of offering traffic that exceeds the contracted bandwidth. A well-behaved class offers traffic at a
rate no greater than the agreed-upon rate. By contrast, a misbehaving class offers traffic that exceeds the
agreed-upon rate. A misbehaving class is formed from an aggregation of misbehaving microflows. To achieve high
39
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.
ZL50408
Data Sheet
link utilization, a misbehaving class is allowed to use any idle bandwidth. However, such leniency must not degrade
the quality of service (QoS) received by well-behaved classes.
As Table 8 illustrates, the six traffic types may each have their own distinct properties and applications. As shown,
classes may receive bandwidth assurances or latency bounds. In the table, P3, the highest transmission class,
requires that all frames be transmitted within 1 ms, and receives 50% of the 100 Mbps of bandwidth at that port.
Best-effort (P0) traffic forms a fourth class that only receives bandwidth when none of the other classes have any
traffic to offer. It is also possible to add a fourth class that has strict priority over the other three; if this class has
even one frame to transmit, then it goes first. In the ZL50408, each RMAC port will support two total classes, and
the GMAC port will support four classes. We will discuss the various modes of scheduling these classes in the next
section.
In addition, each transmission class has two subclasses, high-drop and low-drop. Well-behaved users should rarely
lose packets. But poorly behaved users–users who send frames at too high a rate – will encounter frame loss, and
the first to be discarded will be high-drop. Of course, if this is insufficient to resolve the congestion, eventually some
low-drop frames are dropped, and then all frames in the worst case.
Table 8 shows that different types of applications may be placed in different boxes in the traffic table. For example,
casual web browsing fits into the category of high-loss, high-latency-tolerant traffic, whereas VoIP fits into the
category of low-loss, low-latency traffic.
7.2
Two QoS Configurations
There are two basic pieces to QoS scheduling in the GMAC port of ZL50408: strict priority (SP) or weighted fair
queuing (WFQ). The only configuration for a RMAC and CPU port is strict priority between the queues.
7.2.1
Strict Priority
When strict priority is part of the scheduling algorithm, if a queue has any frame to transmit, it goes first. For RMAC
ports, this is an easy way to provide the different service. For all recognizable traffic, the bandwidth is guaranteed to
100% of the line rate. This scheme works as long as the overall high priority bandwidth is not over the line rate and
the latency on all the low priority traffic is don’t care. The strict priority queue in the GMAC and CPU ports is similar
to RMAC ports other than having 4 queues instead of 2 queues. The priority queue P0 can be scheduled only if the
priority queue P1 is empty, so as to priority queues P2 and P3. The lowest priority queue is treated as best effort
queue.
Because we do not provide any assurances for best effort traffic, we do not enforce latency by dropping best effort
traffic. Furthermore, because we assume that strict priority traffic is carefully controlled before entering the
ZL50408, we do not enforce a fair bandwidth partition by dropping strict priority traffic. To summarize, dropping to
enforce bandwidth or delay does not apply to strict priority or best effort queues. We only drop frames from best
effort and strict priority queues when queue size is too long or global / class buffer resources become scarce.
7.2.2
Weighted Fair Queuing
In some environments – for example, in an environment in which delay assurances are not required, but precise
bandwidth partitioning on small time scales is essential, WFQ may be preferable to a strict assurance scheduling
discipline. The ZL50408 provides this kind of scheduling algorithm on GMAC port only. The user sets four WFQ
“weights” such that all weights are whole numbers and sum to 64. This provides per-class bandwidth partitioning
with granular within 2%.
In WFQ mode, though we do not assure frame latency, the ZL50408 still retains a set of dropping rules that helps to
prevent congestion and trigger higher level protocol end-to-end flow control.

WRED Drop Threshold Management Support
To avoid congestion, the Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) logic drops packets according to specified
parameters. The following table summarizes the behavior of the WRED logic.

Table 9 - WRED Logic Behaviour
Px is the total byte count, in the priority queue x, can be the strict priority queue of RMAC ports and higher 3 priority
queues for GMAC port. The WRED logic has two drop levels, depending on the value of Px. Each drop level has
defined high-drop and low-drop percentages, which indicate the minimum and maximum percentages of the data
that can be discarded. The X, Y Z percent can be programmed by the register RDRC0, RDRC1. All packets will be
dropped only if the system runs out of the specific buffer resource, per class buffer or per source port buffer. The
WRED thresholds of each queue can be programmed by the QOS control registers (refer to the register group 8).
See Programming QoS Registers application note, ZLAN-42, for more information.
7.4
Shaper
Although traffic shaping is not a primary function of the ZL50408, the chip does implement a shaper for every queue
in the GMAC port. Our goal in shaping is to control the average rate of traffic exiting the ZL50408. If shaper is
enabled, strict priority will be applied to that queue. The priority between two shaped queue is the same as in strict
priority scheduling.
Traffic rate is set using a programmable whole number, no greater than 64. For example, if the setting is 32, then
the traffic rate transmit out of the shaped queue is 32/64 * 1000 Mbps = 500 Mbps. See Programming QoS Register
application note, ZLAN-42, for more information.
Also, when shaping is enabled, it is possible for a queue to explode in length if fed by a greedy source. The reason
is that a shaper is by definition not work-conserving; that is, it may hold back from sending a packet even if the line
is idle. Though we do have global resource management, we do nothing other than per port WRED to prevent this
situation locally. We assume the traffic is policed at a prior stage to the ZL50408 or WRED dropping is fine and shall
restrain this situation.
7.5
Rate Control
The ZL50408 provides a rate control function on its RMAC ports. This rate control function applies to both the
incoming and outgoing traffic aggregate on each RMAC port. It provides a way of reducing the average rate below
full wire speed. Note that the rate control function does not shape or manipulate any particular traffic class.
Furthermore, though the average rate of the port can be controlled with this function, the peak rate will still be full
line rate.
Two principal parameters are used to control the average rate for a RMAC port. A port’s rate is controlled by
allowing, on average, M bytes to be transmitted every N microseconds. Both of these values are programmable.
The user can program the number of bytes in 8-byte increments, and the time may be set in units of 10us or 1ms.
The value of M/N will, of course, equal the average data rate of the traffic aggregate on the given RMAC port.
Although there are many (M,N) pairs that will provide the same average data rate performance, the smaller the time
interval N, the “smoother” the output pattern will appear.
In addition to controlling the average data rate on a RMAC port, the rate control function also manages the
maximum burst size at wire speed. The maximum burst size can be considered the memory of the rate control
mechanism; if the line has been idle for a long time, to what extent can the port “make up for lost time” by
transmitting a large burst? This value is also programmable, measured in 8-byte increments.

Example: Suppose that the user wants to restrict Fast Ethernet port P’s average departure rate to 32 Mbps – 32%
of line rate – when the average is taken over a period of 10 ms. In an interval of 10 ms, exactly 40000 bytes can be
transmitted at an average rate of 32 Mbps.
So how do we set the parameters?
The rate control parameters are contained in an internal RAM block
accessible through the CPU port (See Rate Control application note, ZLAN-33). The data format is shown below.
63:40
39:32
31:16
15:0

Time interval
Maximum burst size
Number of bytes
As we indicated earlier, the number of bytes is measured in 8-byte increments, so the 16-bit field “Number of bytes”
should be set to 40000/8, or 5000. In addition, the time interval has to be set to 10 in units of 1 ms. Though we want
the average data rate on port P to be 32 Mbps when measured over an interval of 10 ms, we can also adjust the
maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted at full line rate in any single burst. Suppose we wish this limit to
be 12 kilobytes. The number of bytes is measured in 8-byte increments, so the 16-bit field “Maximum burst size” is
set to 12000/8, or 1500.
The action on the incoming traffic and outgoing traffic when credit is not available are different. For the outgoing
traffic, the queued frames will be held in the queue until the credit become available. The consequence of this
holding is the exploding queue size that may cause dropping on the receiving side. The capability of ZL50408 on
this perspective is quite limited due to the small frame buffer on chip. The actions on the incoming traffic depending
on the flow control state of that port. If the ingress port flow control is turned on, the XOFF flow control will be
triggered when the credit is running lower than half of the maximum burst size. The XON will be triggered when the
available credit is increased to above the threshold. If the port flow control is disabled, the received traffic will
subject to WRED depending on the credit availability. If the none of the credit is available, all received frame will be
dropped. If only a quarter of maximum burst credits are available, the frame that been marked as high drop will be
drop 100%, the low drop frame will be dropped at ra%, If half of the maximum burst credits are available, high drop
frame will be dropped at rb%. The ra% and rb% can be programmed by RDRC2 register.
7.6
Buffer Management
Because the number of FDB slots is a scarce resource, and because we want to ensure that one misbehaving
source port or class cannot harm the performance of a well-behaved source port or class, we introduce the concept
of buffer management into the ZL50408. Our buffer management scheme is designed to divide the total buffer
space into numerous reserved regions and one shared pool, as shown in Figure 11 on page 43.
As shown in the figure, the FDB pool is divided into several parts. A reserved region for temporary frames stores
frames prior to receiving a switch response. Such a temporary region is necessary, because when the frame first
enters the ZL50408, its destination port and class are as yet unknown, and so the decision to drop or not needs to
be temporarily postponed. This ensures that every frame can be received first before subjecting them to the frame
drop discipline after classifying.
Three priority sections, one for each pair of the first six priority classes, ensure a programmable number of FDB
slots per class. The lowest two classes do not receive any buffer reservation. Furthermore, a frame is stored in the
region of the FDB corresponding to its class. As we have indicated, the eight classes use only two transmission
scheduling queues for RMAC ports (four queues for the GMAC & CPU ports), but as far as buffer usage is
concerned, there are still eight distinguishable classes.
Another segment of the FDB reserves space for each of the 10 ports — 9 ports for Ethernet and one CPU port (port
number 8). Each port has it’s own programmable source port reservation. These 10 reserved regions make sure
that no well-behaved source port can be blocked by another misbehaving source port.
In addition, there is a shared pool, which can store any type of frame. The frame engine allocates the frames first in
the three priority sections. When the priority section is full or the packet has priority 1 or 0, the frame is allocated in
the shared pool. Once the shared pool is full the frames are allocated in the section reserved for the source port.

7.6.1
Dropping When Buffers Are Scarce
As already discussed, the WRED mechanism may drop frames on output queue status. In addition to these
reasons for dropping, we also drop frames when global buffer space becomes scarce. The function of buffer
management is to make sure that such dropping causes as little blocking as possible. If a received frame is
dispatched to the best effort queue, the buffer management will check on the overall buffer situation plus the output
queue status to decide the frame drop condition. If the source port has not enough buffer for it, the frame will be
dropped. If the output queue reach the UCC (unicast congest control) and the shared buffer has run out, the frame
will be dropped by b%. If the output queue reach the UCC and the source port reservation is lower than the buffer
low threshold, the frame will be dropped. All the dropping functions are disabled if the source port is flow control
capable.
7.7
Flow Control Basics
Because frame loss is unacceptable for some applications, the ZL50408 provides a flow control option. When flow
control is enabled, scarcity of source port buffer space may trigger a flow control signal; this signal tells a source
port sending a packet to this switch, to temporarily hold off.
While flow control offers the clear benefit of no packet loss, it also introduces a problem for quality of service. When
a source port receives an Ethernet flow control signal, all microflows originating at that port, well-behaved or not,
are halted. A single packet destined for a congested output can block other packets destined for un-congested
outputs. The resulting head-of-line blocking phenomenon means that quality of service cannot be assured with high
confidence when flow control is enabled.
On the other hand, the ZL50408 will still prioritize the received frame disregarding the outgoing port flow control
capability. If a frame is classified as high priority, it is still subjected to the WRED, which means the no-loss on the
high priority queue is not guaranteed. To resolve this situation, the user may set the output port WRED threshold so
high that may never be reached, or program the priority mapping table in the queue manager to map all the traffic to
best effort queue on the flow control capable port. The first method has side impact on the global resource

management since the port may hold too much per class resource that is scarce in the system. The second
method, by nature, lost the benefit of prioritization.
See Programming Flow Control Registers application note, ZLAN-44, for more information.
7.7.1
Unicast Flow Control
For unicast frames, flow control is triggered by source port resource availability. Recall that the ZL50408’s buffer
management scheme allocates a reserved number of FDB slots for each source port. If a programmed number of a
source port’s reserved FDB slots have been used, then flow control Xoff is triggered.
Xon is triggered when a port is currently being flow controlled, and all of that port’s reserved FDB slots have been
released.
Note that the ZL50408’s per-source-port FDB reservations assure that a source port that sends a single frame to a
congested destination will not be flow controlled.
7.7.2
Multicast Flow Control
Flow control for multicast frames is triggered by a global buffer counter. When the system exceeds a programmable
threshold of multicast packets, Xoff is triggered. Xon is triggered when the system returns below this threshold.
Note: If per-port flow control is on, QoS performance will be affected.

Failover Backplane Feature
The ZL50408 implements a hardware assisted link failure detection mechanism utilizing a Link Heart Beat (LHB)
packet. The LHB packet format is defined as a 64-byte MAC control frame with a user defined opcode. The packet
format is illustrated below:
01-80-c2-00-00-01
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
88-08
yy-yy
00-00-...
CRC
Where “xx-xx-...” is the source port MAC address and “yy-yy” is the special opcode defined by register setup
(LHBReg0,1). The opcode “00-01” is reserved for the flow control packet. We recommend opcode “00-12” for the
LHB packet.
The LHB is done between two compatible MACs providing this function. A timer parameter will be set for both the
receiver and transmitter (LHBTimer).
On the transmission side, the MAC will monitor the transmission activities. If there is no activity for more than the
set period, a LHB packet will be sent to its link partner. Therefore, there should always be at least one packet
transmitted from the MAC for every period specified.
On the receiving side, the MAC will also monitor the activity. If there is no good packet received for more than 2X
the set period, an alarm will be raised to the CPU. The LHB packet is only used by the ZL50408 to reset the timeout
counter, it is ignored otherwise (i.e. not passed on within the system).
See the Failover Protection Application Note, ZLAN-43, for more information.

Port Trunking
See Port Trunking application note, ZLAN-48, for more information.
8.1
Features and Restrictions
A port group (i.e. trunk) can include up to 8 physical ports, all of the ports in a group can be in the same ZL50408 or
in multiple ZL50408 to form a fault tolerant link. There are eight trunk groups total.
Load distribution among the ports in a trunk for unicast is performed using hashing based on source MAC address
and destination MAC address. Three other options include source MAC address only, destination MAC address
only, and source port (in bidirectional ring mode only). Load distribution for multicast is performed similarly.
If a VLAN includes any of the ports in a trunk group, all the ports in that trunk group should be in the same VLAN
member map.
The ZL50408 also provides a safe fail-over mode for port trunking automatically. If one of the ports in the trunking
group goes down, the ZL50408 can redistribute the traffic over to the remaining ports in the trunk with software
assistance.
8.2
Unicast Packet Forwarding
The search engine finds the destination MCT entry, and if the status field says that the destination port found
belongs to a trunk, then the trunk group number is retrieved.
The source port of the packet is checked against the destination trunk group. If the source port belongs to the
destination trunk group, the packet is discarded.
A hash key, based on some combination of the source and destination MAC addresses for the current packet,
selects the appropriate forwarding port, as specified in the Trunk_Hash registers. Each trunk has eight trunk_hash
registers which selects one of the potential eight outgoing ports. The hash key provides a pseudo flow identifier
which force the same flow to the same destination flow. As a result, the packet will always arrive in order.

Multicast Packet Forwarding
For multicast packet forwarding, the device must determine the proper set of ports from which to transmit the
packet based on the VLAN and hash key.
Three functions are required in order to distribute multicast packets to the appropriate destination ports in a port
trunking environment.
•
•
•
Determining the VLAN group it is forwarding port per group.
The source port/group must be excluded from the forwarding.
Select one port per trunk group to forward the packet to. This selection is based on hash key described in
previous section.
For example, port 0,1 and 2 belong to trunk group 0 and port 3 and 4 belong to trunk group 1. A single VLAN is
established in this system with port 0,1,2,3,4,5 and 6 as the members in the VLAN. When a multicast packet is sent
in from port 3, the ZL50408 select port 0,1,2,3,4,5 and 6 as potential destination based on the VLAN. Then port 3
and 4 are removed because they belong to the source port group (trunk group 1). Two ports from trunk group 0 will
be removed based on the hash key. In this example, we assume port 0 and 1 are removed. As a result, port 2,5 and
6 are the only outgoing ports for this multicast packet.
9.0
Traffic Mirroring
See Traffic Mirroring application note, ZLAN-50, for more information.
9.1
Mirroring Features
Packets can be mirrored (duplicated) for network monitor purpose and/or network debug purpose. Three types of
mirroring is available in ZL50408.
1. Source or Destination MAC address based
2. Flow based
3. Port based
In source or destination mac address based mirroring, the “M” bit of the mirroring MAC address in the MCT is set.
Also, the user need to specify the mirroring MAC address is source or destination of the packet. If source is
selected, any packet received with the mirroring MAC address as source MAC address will be copied to the
mirrored port. In the same way, if destination is selected, any packet received with mirroring MAC address as
destination MAC address will be copied to the mirrored port.
In flow based mirroring, a flow is established based on the source and destination mac address pair. When
enabled, a packet with source and destination address match the pre-programmed source and destination mac
address pair will be copied to the mirrored port. In reverse direction (source and destination match pre programmed
destination and source), the flow can also be enabled and the frame will be copied to the mirrored port.
In port based mirroring, traffic from any RMAC port can be mirrored to any RMAC port. The traffic from the source
port can be either ingress or egress traffic. Up to two ports can be setup as mirrored ports. As a result, the traffic
(both ingress and egress) of a specific port can be monitored by setting up both mirrored ports. Once a port is setup
as mirrored port, it cannot be used for regular traffic.
The mirrored port can be any port in the ZL50408.
9.2
Using port mirroring for loop back
To perform remote loop back test, port mirroring can be used to bounce back the packet to the source port to check
the data path.
The CPU needs to setup the remote device through the command channel to enable port mirroring in the remote
device. A CPU packet is send to the port in test in Device A. The packet will be forwarded to the test port, external

11.1.2
RMAC Reference Clock (M_CLK) speed requirement
M_CLK is a 50 MHz clock used for the RMAC ports (ports 0-7) and CPU port (port 8).
If none of the RMAC ports are configured in RMII mode or Reverse MII mode, a different clock frequency can be
applied to M_CLK, as long as it's less than 50 MHz. In this case, register USD must be set to provide an internal
1usec timing.
11.1.3
GMAC Reference Clock (GREF_CLK) speed requirement
GREF_CLK is a 125 MHz reference clock required for the GMAC port (port 9).
If the device is in a 9 port 10/100 configuration only, GREF_CLK can be a lower frequency clock and can be
connected to M_CLK to reduce the number of clock sources.

TCK is a clock used for the JTAG port. The frequency on this clock can vary. Refer to “JTAG (IEEE 1149.1-2001)”
on page 129 for the frequency range.
11.2
11.2.1
Clock Generation
MDC
MDC is used for the MII Management Interface and clocks data on MDIO. It is generated by the device from
M_CLK and is equal to 500 kHz (M_CLK/100). If a different speed clock other than 50 MHz is used on M_CLK, the
USD register must be programmed to reset MDC.
11.2.2
SCL
SCL is used for the I2C interface and clocks data on SDA. It is generated by the device from M_CLK and is equal
to 50 kHz (M_CLK/1000). If a different speed clock other than 50 MHz is used on M_CLK, the USD register must
be programmed to reset SCL.
11.2.3
Ethernet Interface Clocks
If the RMAC ports are configured in Reverse MII mode, TXCLK and RXCLK are generated from M_CLK and are
equal to M_CLK/2 for 100M mode or M_CLK/20 for 10M mode. M_CLK needs to be a 50 MHz clock in this mode.
If the RMAC ports are configured in Reverse GPSI mode, TXCLK and RXCLK are generated from M_CLK and are
equal to M_CLK/2 for 10M mode. M_CLK needs to be a 20 MHz clock in this mode and USD must be programmed
accordingly.
For the CPU port in serial+MII mode, TXCLK and RXCLK are generated from M_CLK and are equal to M_CLK/2 for
100M mode or M_CLK/20 for 10M mode. M_CLK needs to be a 50 MHz clock in this mode.
The gigabit port generates an external TXCLK interface clock in GMII mode. It is equal to the 125 MHz GREF_CLK.
If the GMAC port is configured in Reverse MII mode, RXCLK is generated from GREF_CLK and is equal to
GREF_CLK/2 for 100M mode (no support for 10M Reverse MII mode). GREF_CLK needs to be a 50 MHz clock in
this mode.

ZL50408 hardware provides a full set of statistics counters for each Ethernet port. The CPU accesses these
counters through the CPU interface. All hardware counters are rollover counters. When a counter rolls over, the
CPU is interrupted, so that long-term statistics may be kept. The MAC detects all statistics, except for the delay

Event Counters
12.3.1.1
InFrames
Counts number of frames received by this port or segment.
Note: A frame received by this port is only counted by this counter if and only if it is for a protocol being processed
by the local bridge function.
12.3.1.2
OutFrames
Counts number of frames transmitted by this port.
Note: A frame transmitted by this port is only counted by this counter if and only if it is for a protocol being
processed by the local bridge function.
12.3.1.3
InDiscards
Counts number of valid frames received which were discarded (i.e., filtered) by the forwarding process.
12.3.1.4
DelayExceededDiscards
Counts number of frames discarded due to excessive transmit delay through the bridge.
12.3.1.5
MtuExceededDiscards
Counts number of frames discarded due to excessive size.

RMON – Ethernet Statistic Group (RFC 1757)
12.4.1
12.4.1.1
Event Counters
Drop Events
Counts number of times a packet is dropped, because of lack of available resources. DOES NOT include all packet
dropping -- for example, random early drop for quality of service support.
12.4.1.2
Octets
Counts the total number of octets (i.e. bytes) in any frames received.
12.4.1.3
BroadcastPkts
Counts the number of good frames received and forwarded with broadcast address.
Does not include non-broadcast multicast frames.
12.4.1.4

Packet Count for Different Size Groups
Six different size groups – one counter for each:
Pkts64Octets
for any packet with size = 64 bytes
Pkts65to127Octets
for any packet with size from 65 bytes to 127 bytes
Pkts128to255Octets
or any packet with size from 128 bytes to 255 bytes
Pkts256to511Octets
for any packet with size from 256 bytes to 511 bytes
Pkts512to1023Octets
for any packet with size from 512 bytes to 1023 bytes
Pkts1024to1518Octets
for any packet with size from 1024 bytes to 1518 bytes
Counts both good and bad packets.
12.5
Miscellaneous Counters
In addition to the statistics groups defined in previous sections, the ZL50408 has other statistics counters for its own
purposes. We have two counters for flow control – one counting the number of flow control frames received, and
another counting the number of flow control frames sent. We also have two counters, one for unicast frames sent,
and one for non-unicast frames sent. A broadcast or multicast frame qualifies as non-unicast. Furthermore, we
have a counter called “frame send fail.” This keeps track of FIFO under-runs, late collisions, and collisions that have
occurred 16 times.

Accessed by CPU and I²C (R/W)
Bit [0]
1 - Flow Control Off
0 - Flow Control On (Default)
When Flow Control On:
• In half duplex mode, the MAC transmitter applies back pressure for flow
control.
• In full duplex mode, the MAC transmitter sends Flow Control frames when
necessary. The MAC receiver interprets and processes incoming flow
control frames. The Flow Control Frame Received counter is incremented
whenever a flow control is received.
When Flow Control Off:
• In half duplex mode, the MAC transmitter does not assert flow control by
sending flow control frame or jamming collision.
• In full duplex mode, the MAC transmitter does not send flow control frames.
The MAC receiver does not interpret or process the flow control frames. The
Flow Control Frame Received counter is not incremented.
Bit [1]

Bit [7:6]
Data Sheet
Security Enable. The ZL50408 checks the incoming data for one of the following
conditions:
• If the source MAC address of the incoming packet is in the MAC table and is
defined as secure address but the ingress port is not the same as the port
associated with the MAC address in the MAC table.
• A MAC address is defined as secure when its entry at MAC table has
static status and bit 0 is set to 1. MAC address bit 0 (the first bit
transmitted) indicates whether the address is unicast or multicast. As
source addresses are always unicast bit 0 is not used (always 0).
ZL50408 uses this bit to define secure MAC addresses.
• If the port is set as learning disable and the source MAC address of the
incoming packet is not defined in the MAC address table or the MAC
address is not associated to the ingress port.
If any one of the conditions is met, the packet is forwarded based on these setting.
00 – Disable port security, forward packets as usual. (Default)
01 – Discard violating packets
10 – Forward violating packets as usual and also to the CPU for inspection
11 – Forward violating packets to the CPU for inspection
It also checks for one of the following additional conditions:
• If the port is configured to filter untagged frames and an untagged frame
arrives, or
• If the port is configured to filter tagged frames and a tagged frame arrives, or
• If the packet has the source mac address on the source mac address filter
list, or
• If the packet has the destination mac address on the destination mac
address filter list
If any one of the conditions is met, the packet will be handled according to:
0X – Discard violating packets
1X – Forward violating packets to CPU for inspection

Internal loopback.
0: Disable (Default)
1: Enable
In this mode, the packet is looped back in the MAC layer before going out of the
chip. You must force linkup at full duplex as well.
External loopback is another level of system diagnostic which involves the PHY
device to loopback the packet.
Bit [4:3]:
Interface mode:
00 - GPSI mode

10 - Reserved
11 - RMII mode (Default)
Bit [5]:
Frame loopback.
0: Disable frame from sending back to its source port. (Default)
1: Allow frame to send back to its source port
In a regular ethernet switch, a packet should never be receive and forwarded to
the same port. Setting the bit allows it to happen.
This is not the same as an ingress MAC loopback. The destination MAC address
has to be stored (learned) in the MCT and associated with the originating source
port. The frame loopback will only work for unicast packets.

VLAN Mask for port 0 (Default 0xFF)
This register indicates the legal egress ports. A “1” on bit 3 means that the packet can be sent to port 3. A “0” on bit
3 means that any packet destined to port 3 will be discarded. This register works with registers 1 to form a 10 bit
mask to all egress ports.
In Tag based VLAN Mode
Bit [7:0]:
PVID [7:0] (Default is 0xFF)
This is the default VLAN tag. It works with configuration register PVMAP00_1 [7:5] [3:0] to form a default VLAN tag.
If the received packet is untagged, then the packet is classified with the default VLAN tag. If the received packet has
a VLAN ID of 0, then PVID is used to replace the packet’s VLAN ID.

Multicast Hash Registers
Multicast Hash registers are used to distribute multicast traffic. 16 registers are used to form a 8-entry array; each
entry has 10 bits, with each bit representing one port. Any port not belonging to a trunk group should be
programmed with 1. Ports belonging to the same trunk group should only have a single port set to “1” per entry. The
port set to “1” is picked to transmit the multicast frame when the hash value is met.

User Defined Logical Ports and Well Known Ports

Their respective priority can be programmed via Well_Known_Port [7:0] priority register. Well_Known_Port_Enable
can individually turn on/off each Well Known Port if desired.
Similarly, the User Defined Logical Port provides the user programmability to the priority, plus the flexibility to select
specific logical ports to fit the applications. The 8 User Logical Ports can be programmed via User_Port 0-7
registers. Two registers are required to be programmed for the logical port number. The respective priority can be
programmed to the User_Port [7:0] priority register. The port priority can be individually enabled/disabled via
User_Port_Enable register.
The User Defined Range provides a range of logical port numbers with the same priority level. Programming is
similar to the User Defined Logical Port. Instead of programming a fixed port number, an upper and lower limit need
to be programmed, they are: {RHIGHH, RHIGHL} and {RLOWH, RLOWL} respectively. If the value in the upper limit
is smaller or equal to the lower limit, the function is disabled. Any IP packet with a logical port that is less than the
upper limit and more than the lower limit will use the priority specified in RPRIORITY.

QOSC28 through QOSC31 represents one set of WFQ parameters for GMAC port. The granularity of the numbers
is 1, and their sum must be 64. QOSC31 corresponds to W3 that is the highest priority, and QOSC27 corresponds
to W0. Default scheduling method will be strict priority across all queues. Only when the bit 7 in the class is set, the
queue will be scheduled as WFQ. The credit number also works as shaper credit if bit 6 is set. The queue with
shaper enabled will be scheduled by strict priority when the token is available. The shaper setting override the NS
setting.

W3 – QOSC39[7:0] – TOKEN_LIMIT_C03 (CPU Address 8A7)
QOSC36 through QOSC39 represents one set of token limit on the shaper of GMAC port. The granularity of the
numbers is 64 bytes. The shaper is implemented as leaky bucket and the limit here works as bucket size. Since the
hardware implementation can keep negative number, the limit can be as small as one and still can transmit
oversized frame, as long as one byte token is available.
