Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- In the magawizard, make sur you have enabled "VLAN detecttion". If you are using the small MAC variation, you don't have this option. I don't use rx_frm_type in my design because I'm using the small MAC. However, you can check for the VLAN TAG while receiving the frames to see if it's VLAN.... Franck. --- Quote End --- Franck, Thanks for the reply.... I do have this enabled (thank you). And while I can monitor the VLAN status, the issue is that I need to monitor real-time, frame-by-frame, the VLAN, Broadcast, Multicast and unicast Frame Type status signals provided by the MAC so that I may 'handle' or process them as appropriate for my application. My MAC implementation provides these signals rx_frm_type[3:0] and clearly describes them in the documentation. However a module I have created to monitor incoming packets so far I have been unable 'connect' to these signals. How and What must I do to enable access to these signals (provided by the TSE)? Thanks for your input, mike
