Or, Thanks for the explanation. I think they are the multicast
MAC addresses (33:33:00:00:00:01/02/03)? I guess sending a Global
Multicast Filter Command is enough according to the NCSI spec
(line 2062 on page 93):
The Enable Global Multicast Filter command is used to activate global
filtering of multicast frames with optional filtering of specific multicast
protocols. Upon receiving and processing this command, the channel shall only
deliver multicast frames that match specific multicast MAC addresses enabled
for Pass through using this command ___or___ the Set MAC Address command.
Thanks,
Gavin
