VALID
Address valid bit. This bit should be cleared to zero for unused address RAM locations.
0
Address location is not valid and will not be used in determining whether or not an incoming packet
matches or is filtered.
1
Address location is valid and will be used in determining whether or not an incoming packet
matches or is filtered.
19
MATCHFILT
Match or filter bit
0
The address will be used (if the VALID bit is set) to determine if the incoming packet address
should be filtered.
1
The address will be used (if the VALID bit is set) to determine if the incoming packet address is a
match.
