Hi, Navneet I'm sorry for I have no idea about the NIC i540. Are you talking about X540= ? If X540, I guess you can't classify on the MAC-ADDRESS to different queue b= y ethertype filter. Because in the X540 datasheet the ethertype filter is d= escribed as below: " 7.1.2.3 L2 Ethertype Filters These filters identify packets by their L2 Ethertype, 802.1Q user priority = and optionally assign them to a receive queue." So the mac_address is not the filter's input.
