Data Sheet  
Description  
The ZL50410 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). It also supports the Private VLAN Edge feature, allowing the ability to set up  
protected ports in a tagged-based VLAN system.  
With strict priority and/or WFQ transmission scheduling and WRED dropping schemes, the ZL50410 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 ZL50410 recognizes a total of 16 UDP/TCP logical ports, 8  
hard-wired and 8 programmable (including one programmable range).  
The ZL50410 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 ZL50410 supports up to 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410 is fabricated using 0.18 micron technology. The ZL50410 is packaged in a 208-pin Ball Grid Array  
package.

1.4 Signal Mapping and Internal pull-up/Down Configuration  
The ZL50410 Fast Ethernet access ports (0-7) support 3 interface options: RMII, MII & GPSI. The table below  
summarizes the interface signals required for each interface and how they relate back to the Pin Symbol name  
shown in the “Ball Signal Description Table” on page 12. It also specifies whether the internal pull-up/down resistor  
is present for each pin in the specific operating mode.

1.5 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 124 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 ZL50410 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 32)  
TSTOUT[6:4] selects the device ID  
2
Also, in unmanaged mode, an optional I C EEPROM can be used to configure  
the device at power-up or reset. TSTOUT[7] selects the EEPROM option.  
Ethernet Interface  
The ZL50410 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. When activity is detected once again on the port, the MAC  
will come out of this state.  
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.  
Table 4 - Bootstrap Features

more details on this feature)  
1.6 Default Switch Configuration and Initialization Sequence  
The ZL50410 will come out of reset in a default configuration, which will allow for basic L2 switching and automatic  
MAC address learning.  
In unmanaged mode, the default configuration will take effect immediately after reset. The default settings can be  
changed using the optional EEPROM.  
System Defaults  
Port-based VLAN  
MAC address 00-00-00-00-00-00 not learned

In lightly managed/managed mode, the default configuration can be used as well, however, the device needs to be  
told when to start switching. This is done via the “Init Complete” bit, set in GCR[4]. The default settings can be  
overridden using the CPU interface, but should be done before setting of GCR[4]. One thing to note is after reset,  
the device will start to initialize the control tables. Therefore, a short delay (100us~1ms) is necessary before  
changing the register settings and/or control tables, and before setting GCR[4].

Figure 2 - Functional Block Diagram  
2.1 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.  
2.2 MAC Modules  
2.2.1 RMII MAC Module (RMAC)  
The RMII Media Access Control (RMAC) module provides the necessary buffers and control interface between the  
Frame Engine (FE) and the external physical device (PHY). It has five interfaces: MII, RMII, GPSI (only for 10M),  
Reverse MII, or Reverse GPSI (only for 10M).  
The RMAC of the ZL50410 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.  
These eight ports are denoted as ports 0 to 7. The PHY addresses for the PHY devices connected to the 8 RMAC  
ports has to be from 08h (port 0) to 0Fh (port 7).  
23  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
2.2.1.1 GPSI (7WS) Interface  
The RMAC ethernet port can function in GPSI (7WS) mode. In this mode, the TXD[0], RXD[0] serve as TX data, RX  
data and respectively. The link and duplex of the port can be controlled by programming the ECR1Pn register. Only  
port-based VLAN is supported with GPSI interface.  
2.2.2 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 ZL50410 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  
Frame Engine (FE) and the external physical device (PHY). The GMAC implements both GMII and MII interface,  
which offers a simple migration from 10/100 to 1G.  
The GMAC of the ZL50410 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.  
2.2.4 PHY Addresses  
The table below provides an overview of the PHY addresses required for each port in order for the MDIO  
auto-negotiation to work between the ZL50410 MAC and the PHY device. If a different PHY address is used, then  
the port must be manually brought up and the PHY will need to be polled for link status via the MIIC/D registers.

2.3 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.  
24  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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.  
2.5 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410 devices in the  
system, or by non-ZL50410 devices which use a conventional and recognizable LHB message format.  
2.7 Timeout Reset Monitor  
The ZL50410 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.

3.0 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 I C  
interface, which provides an easy and lower cost way to configure the system for reduced management.

2. 8-bit CPU interface similar to ISA.  
3. Serial with MII. A synchronous serial interface (SSI) bus is used for accessing the configuration register and  
control frame. MII is used for sending and receiving CPU packets.  
4. Lightly Managed Serial. Configuration registers access, Control frame and CPU transmit/receive packets are  
sent through a synchronous serial interface (SSI) bus.  
5. Unmanaged Serial. The device can be configured by EEPROM using an I²C interface at bootup, or via a syn-  
chronous serial interface (SSI) otherwise. All configuration registers and internal control blocks are accessible  
by the interface. However, the CPU cannot receive or transmit frames nor will it receive any interrupt informa-  
tion.  
The CPU interface provides for easy and effective management of the switching system.  
Figure 3 on page 27 provides an overview of the 8/16-bit interface. Figure 4 on page 28 provides an overview of the  
SSI interface. Figure 5 on page 29 provides an overview of the SSI+MII interface.

3.1 Register Configuration, Frame Transmission, and Frame Reception  
3.1.1 Register Configuration  
The ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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

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.

Similarly, to read the value in the register addressed by the index register(s), the “data” register can now  
simply be read.  
The ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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:  
ZL50410 acts as a PHY to provide receive clock (RXCLK) to CPU so the CPU will depend on this receive  
clock to send packets to ZL50410  
ZL50410 has the ability to halt the receive clock if the receive FIFO of ZL50410 is overflow. Transmitting from  
CPU to ZL50410 will resume once the receive FIFO of ZL50410 is no longer overflow  
Follow the standard Ethernet transmission format. CPU assert receive data valid (RXDV) before transmitting  
data to ZL50410 and de-assert RXDV after transmitting the last data  
To receive a frame into the CPU with MII interface:  
ZL50410 acts as a PHY to provide transmit clock (TXCLK) to CPU so the CPU will depend on the transmit  
clock to receive packets from ZL50410  
ZL50410 has the ability to halt the transmit clock if the transmit FIFO of ZL50410 is under-run. CPU will  
resume receiving packets from ZL50410 once the transmit FIFO of ZL50410 is no longer under-run  
Follow the standard Ethernet transmission format. CPU will see transmit enable (TXEN) be asserted by  
ZL50410 and CPU can start receiving data. CPU will stop receiving data once TXEN is de-asserted by  
ZL50410.

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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410:  
Memory read request  
Memory write request  
Learn Unicast MAC address  
Delete Unicast MAC address  
Search Unicast MAC address  
Learn IP Multicast address  
Delete IP Multicast address  
Search IP Multicast address  
Learn Multicast MAC address  
Delete Multicast MAC address  
Search Multicast MAC 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 ZL50410 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  
Delete Multicast MAC address  
Delete IP Multicast address  
Response to search Unicast MAC address request from CPU  
Response to search IP Multicast address request from CPU  
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 ZL50410 at boot time. The master is the ZL50410, 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 “ZL50410  
Register Description” on page 60 for I²C address for each register.

3.2.1 Start Condition  
Generated by the master (in our case, the ZL50410). 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 ZL50410 not at boot time but via a PC.  
The PC serves as master and the ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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.

4.0 Data Forwarding Protocol  
4.1 Unicast Data Frame Forwarding  
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  
34  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
space in the internal memory block. The size and starting address can also be programmed through memory  
configuration command.  
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.  
5.0 Search Engine  
5.1 Search Engine Overview  
The ZL50410 search engine is optimized for high throughput searching, with enhanced features to support:  
Up to 4 K of Unicast/Multicast MAC addresses and IP Multicast MAC addresses  
Up to 4 K VLANs  
Private VLAN Edge (protected ports) support  
Up to 8 groups of port trunking  
Traffic classification into 2 (or 4 for GMAC) transmission priorities, and 2 drop precedence levels  
Packet filtering based on MAC address, Protocol or Logical Port number  
Security  
Up to 4 K IP Multicast groups  
Individual Flooding, Broadcast, Multicast Storm Control  
MAC address learning and aging  
5.2 Basic Flow  
Shortly after a frame enters the ZL50410 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).  
35  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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.  
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 Search, Learning, and Aging  
5.3.1 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 private VLAN  
Edge (protected ports) mode, the private VLAN domain is used for final qualification at the egress port.  
In port based VLAN mode, a bit map is used to determine whether the frame should be forwarded to the outgoing  
port. The main difference in this mode is that the bit map 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 ZL50410'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 or unknown multicast MAC address and unknown IP multicast address can also be  
filter on per VLAN basis.  
36  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
MAC address filtering allows the ZL50410 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.  
5.5 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410, 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 ZL50410 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.

5.9 Port and Tag Based VLAN  
The ZL50410 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 ZL50410 for port-based VLAN (see “Register  
Definition” on page 60). 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 ZL50410 determines the VLAN membership of  
each packet by noting the port on which it arrives. From there, the ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410. 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 ZL50410 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.

The value of the TPID of the Provider VLAN tag is not assigned in the IEEE 802.1ad standard. The ZL50410  
provides a global configurable TPID but only supports the Extreme EtherType TPID (i.e. the stacked VLAN tag  
cannot equal 0x81-00).  
See Stacked VLAN application note, ZLAN-82, for more information.  
5.9.4 Private VLAN Edge  
The PVLAN Edge (protected port) is a feature that has only local significance to the switch (unlike Private VLANs),  
and there is no isolation provided between two protected ports located on different L2 switches. A protected port  
does not forward any traffic (unicast, multicast, or broadcast) to any other port that is also a protected port in the  
same switch. Traffic cannot be forwarded between protected ports at L2, thus, all traffic passing between protected  
ports must be forwarded through a Layer 3 (L3) device.  
The ZL50410 supports private VLAN Edge by allowing each of the RMAC ports to setup a private VLAN domain,  
defined by registers PVLAN_Pn. The private VLAN domain is used for final qualification at the egress port.  
See Private VLAN Edge application note, ZLAN-130, for more information.  
5.10 IP Multicast Switching  
The ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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.  
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 ZL50410 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 45. 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.  
41  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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.  
6.2.5 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.  
7.0 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  
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 ZL50410, 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 ZL50410: strict priority (SP) or weighted fair  
queuing (WFQ). The only configuration for a RMAC and CPU port is strict priority between the queues.  
43  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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  
ZL50410, 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410 still retains a set of dropping rules that helps to  
prevent congestion and trigger higher level protocol end-to-end flow control.  
7.3 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.  
Px > WRED_L1  
Px > WRED_L2  
BM Reject  
High Drop  
Low Drop  
X%

100%  
Z%

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 ZL50410, 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 ZL50410. 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.  
44  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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 ZL50410 or WRED dropping is fine and shall  
restrain this situation.  
7.5 Rate Control  
The ZL50410 provides a rate control function on its RMAC ports. The concept is much the same as shaping, except  
that it applies to both ingress and egress directions and the control is per port rather than per queue. It provides a  
way of reducing the total bandwidth of all frames received from or transmitted to a port, to a rate below wire speed.  
As with shaping, the maximum burst size can also be configured.  
Rate control may be a valuable feature on RMAC ports in access applications where the service provider would like  
to limit the traffic received and transmitted by each port independently of each other, and independently of the  
physical line rate. The service provider can then provide differential pricing, based on the negotiated bandwidth  
requirements for each user. In such applications of the ZL50410, the GMAC port is viewed as an uplink port, where  
rate control is not desired.  
See Rate Control application note, ZLAN-33, for more information.  
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 ZL50410. 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 46.  
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 ZL50410, 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.  
The following registers define the size of each section of the Frame data Buffer:

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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410’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.  
46  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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 ZL50410’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.

7.9 Failover Backplane Feature  
The ZL50410 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-xx-xx-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.  
47  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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 ZL50410 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.  
8.0 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 ZL50410 or  
in multiple ZL50410 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 ZL50410 also provides a safe fail-over mode for port trunking automatically. If one of the ports in the trunking  
group goes down, the ZL50410 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.  
8.3 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.

ZL50410  
Data Sheet  
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 ZL50410 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 ZL50410.  
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 ZL50410.  
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  
cable, the destination port in Device B, and loop back to itself, back to the cable and go back to Device A and the  
CPU. This way, the whole channel can be tested.

10.0 Clocks  
10.1 Clock Requirements  
10.1.1 System Clock (SCLK) speed requirement  
SCLK is the primary clock for the ZL50410 device. The speed requirement is based on the system configuration.  
Below is a table for a few configuration.  
Minimum SCLK speed  
Configuration  
required  
8 Port 10/100M + 1 port 1000M  
6-9 ports 10/100M  
100 MHz  
50 MHz  
25 Mhz  
1-5 ports 10/100M  
Table 12 - SCLK Speed Requirements  
10.1.2 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.  
10.1.3 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.  
If port 9 is not being used, GREF_CLK can be left unconnected.  
10.1.4 JTAG Test Clock (TCK) speed requirements  
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 135 for the frequency range.

Data Sheet  
10.2 Clock Generation  
10.2.1 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 50MHz is used on M_CLK, the  
USD register must be programmed to reset MDC.  
10.2.2 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  
50kHz (M_CLK/1000). If a different speed clock other than 50MHz is used on M_CLK, the USD register must be  
programmed to reset SCL.  
10.2.3 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 50MHz 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.

11.0 Hardware Statistics Counters  
11.1 Hardware Statistics Counters List  
ZL50410 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  
exceed discard counter (detected by buffer manager) and the filtering counter (detected by queue manager). The  
following is the wrapped signal sent to the CPU through the command block.

11.5 Miscellaneous Counters  
In addition to the statistics groups defined in previous sections, the ZL50410 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.

Data Sheet  
Bits [7:6] Security Enable. The ZL50410 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).  
ZL50410 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

Registers AVPML, AVPMM, and AVPMH allow the eight VLAN Tag priorities to map into eight Internal level transmit  
priorities. Under the Internal transmit priority, seven is the highest priority where as zero is the lowest. This feature  
allows the user the flexibility of redefining the VLAN priority field. For example, programming a value of 7 into bit 2:0  
of the AVPML register would map packet VLAN priority 0 into Internal transmit priority 7. The new priority is used  
inside the ZL50410. When the packet goes out it carries the original priority.

User Defined Logical Ports and Well Known Ports  
The ZL50410 supports classifying packet priority through layer 4 logical port information. It can be setup by 8 Well  
Known Ports, 8 User Defined Logical Ports, and 1 User Defined Range. The 8 Well Known Ports supported are:

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.

size exceeds the L1 threshold, received frame will subject to X% (high drop) or Y% (low drop) WRED. When the  
queue size exceeds L2 threshold, received frame will either be filtered (high drop) or subject to Z% WRED.

W1 – QOSC29[5:0] – CREDIT_C01 (CPU Address 89D)  
W2 – QOSC30[5:0] – CREDIT_C02 (CPU Address 89E)  
W3 – QOSC31[5:0] – CREDIT_C03 (CPU Address 89F)  
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.

W2 – QOSC38[7:0] – TOKEN_LIMIT_C02 (CPU Address 8A6)  
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.
