Default

TX FIFO High
Watermark Port 0

High watermark for TX FIFO Port 0. The
default value of 0x3E0 represents 992 8-byte
locations. This equates to 7936 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO exceeds the high watermark, flow control
is automatically initiated on the SPI3 interface to
request that the switch fabric stops data
transfers to avoid an overflow condition.

0x000003E0

TX FIFO High
Watermark Port 1

High watermark for TX FIFO Port 1. The
default value of 0x3E0 represents 992 8-byte
locations. This equates to 7936 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO exceeds the high watermark, flow control
is automatically initiated on the SPI3 interface to
request that the switch fabric stops data
transfers to avoid an overflow condition.

TX FIFO High
Watermark Port 2

High watermark for TX FIFO Port 2. The
default value of 0x3E0 represents 992 8-byte
locations. This equates to 7936 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO exceeds the high watermark, flow control
is automatically initiated on the SPI3 interface to
request that the switch fabric stops data
transfers to avoid an overflow condition.

High watermark for TX FIFO Port 3. The
default value of 0x3E0 represents 992 8-byte
locations. This equates to 7936 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO exceeds the high watermark, flow control
is automatically initiated on the SPI3 interface to
request that the switch fabric stops data
transfers to avoid an overflow condition.
