The Am79C976 device includes several features that
can simplify the processing of IEEE 802.3ac VLAN-
tagged frames.
While the maximum frame size for IEEE 802.3 frames
without VLAN tags is 1518 bytes, the maximum frame
size for VLAN-tagged frames is 1522 bytes. The VLAN
frame size bit (VSIZE, CMD3, bit 20) determines the
maximum frame size. When VSIZE is set to 1 the max-
imum frame size is 1522 bytes. Otherwise, the maxi-
mum frame size is 1518 bytes.
The maximum frame size is used for determining
w h e n t o i n c r e m e n t t h e X m t O v e r s i z e P k t s ,
XmtPkts1024to1518Octets, XmtExcessiveDefer,
RcvPkts1024to1518Octets, and RcvOversizePkts
MIB counters.
The Admit Only VLAN (VLONLY) bit in the Command1
Register can be programmed to reject any frame that is
not VLAN-tagged. When VLONLY is set, untagged or
priority-tagged frames will be flushed from the receive
FIFO and will not be copied into system memory. Only
frames with a Length/Type field equal to 8100h and a
non-zero VLAN ID field will be received. The VLAN ID
field consists of bits [11:0] of the 15th and 16th bytes of
the frame.

When the SWSTYLE field in CSR58 contains the value
4 or 5, VLAN tag information can be passed between
the host CPU and the network medium through Trans-
mit or Receive Descriptors. The transmitter can be pro-
grammed to insert or delete a VLAN tag or to modify
the TCI field of a VLAN tag. This feature allows VLAN
software to control the VLAN tag of a frame without
modifying data in transmit buffers. The receiver can de-
termine whether a frame is untagged, priority-tagged,
or VLAN-tagged, and it can copy the TCI field of the
VLAN tag into the Receive Descriptor
The Tag Control Command (TCC) is a 2-bit field in the
Transmit Descriptor that determines whether the trans-
mitter will insert, delete, or modify a VLAN tag or trans-
mit the data from the transmit buffers unaltered. The
encoding of the TCC field is shown in Table 9.
If the transmitter adds, deletes, or modifies a VLAN tag,
it will append a valid FCS field to the frame, regardless
of the state of the Disable Transmit FCS (DXMTFCS)
bit in CSR15.
When SWSTYLE is 4 or 5, the receiver examines each
incoming frame and writes the frame’s VLAN classifica-
tion into the Tag Type (TT) field of the Receive Descrip-
tor. If the frame contains a VLAN tag, the receiver will
copy the TCI field of tag into the TCI field of the Receive
Descriptor. The encoding of the TT field is shown in
Table 10.
