Notes
A port in an operational mode is associated to the partition specified by the Switch Partition (SWPART)
field in the corresponding Switch Port Control (SWPORTxCTL) register. The following switch port modes
are considered operational modes.
–
Upstream switch port
–
Downstream switch port
–
Upstream switch port with DMA function
–
Upstream switch port with NT function
–
Upstream switch port with NT and DMA functions
–
NT function
–
NT with DMA function
A logical representation of a switch port is presented in Figure 5.2.

The figure shows a port with three
functions (i.e., PCI-to-PCI bridge, NT, and DMA).
Figure 5.2 Logical Representation of a Port with PCI-to-PCI bridge, NT, and DMA Functions
Depending on the mode of a port, zero, one, two, or three functions may be present in the port. Table 5.1
shows the port operating modes and the functions present in each mode.
–
The operation of the PCI-to-PCI bridge function is described in detail in Chapter 10.
–
The operation of the NT function is described in detail in Chapter 14.
–
The operation of the DMA function is described in detail in Chapter 15.
–
The configuration registers associated with each port function are listed in Chapter 19.
–
A function that is not present in a port is quiesced and has no effect on the operation of the port.
Specifically, a function that is not present in the port adheres to the following.
• Ignores all received PCI Express requests (e.g., configuration requests, memory read or write
requests, etc.)
• Does not generate any TLPs (e.g., MSI, error messages, INTx messages, etc.)
• Does not participate on the rules that govern multi-function ports (e.g., link power state, error
message generation, etc.)
• Does not log any non-function specific errors detected by the port.

For simplicity, the figure does not show the TLP ingress and egress buffers associated with the port.
