Ingress Default Route Operation

The feature allows the host to configure PASS to send all packets with broadcast bit set (bit 0 of 1st mac header byte) from ingress port X to a corresponding route before or after the LUT look up. The ingress default route provides the route configurations for ingress broadcast(BC) and multicast(MC) packets and the unicast packets that do not match L2 entries on an EMAC interface as described below.

Note:
When this feature is enabled, the exception routes for multicast/broadcast/unicast packets will not be used..
