STRUCT MXL862XX_CFG(9)

💅 struct mxl862xx_cfg(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie ✨

okay so this is <pink>struct mxl862xx_cfg</pink>, and it lives in the <cyan>Kernel API Manual</cyan> — it's the Global Switch configuration Attributes struct, and honestly? she's the main character of the switch config world 👑 no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct mxl862xx_cfg — the Global Switch configuration Attributes, periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't touch a thing:

struct mxl862xx_cfg {
    __le32 mac_table_age_timer;
    __le32 age_timer;
    __le16 max_packet_len;
    u8 learning_limit_action;
    u8 mac_locking_action;
    u8 mac_spoofing_action;
    u8 pause_mac_mode_src;
    u8 pause_mac_src[ETH_ALEN];
 };

ik she looks simple but every single field is doing something, ok? let's get into it 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

• mac_table_age_timer — the aging timer for the MAC table, except you don't just pick a number here, you go see enum mxl862xx_age_timer. sibling energy, they're linked fr fr 👀
• age_timer — a custom MAC table aging timer, measured in seconds. yes bestie, actual seconds, not vibes 🌸
• max_packet_len — the Maximum Ethernet packet length. the ceiling. the limit. the "no packet may be longer than this" energy 🔥
• learning_limit_action — what happens when the MAC address table learning limitation gets hit consecutively — the automatic consecutive action, so you don't have to think about it 💅
• mac_locking_action — accept or discard the packets that violate MAC port locking. that's it, that's the choice: let 'em in or throw 'em out 🙈
• mac_spoofing_action — accept or discard MAC spoofing and port MAC locking violation packets. so this one's the double-threat version of the field above, she covers both 🦋
• pause_mac_mode_src — the mode for the pause frame MAC source address. the mode, the whole mode, nothing but the mode ✨
• pause_mac_src — the actual pause frame MAC source address itself, an ETH_ALEN-sized array, so like 6 bytes of pure address realness 🎀

ngl bestie, this one's all struct fields — no commands to run, just go read the linked enum mxl862xx_age_timer(9) if you wanna know what mac_table_age_timer is actually allowed to be 👑 iykyk

later, diva 🌈 this lil page came from ./drivers/net/dsa/mxl862xx, dated October 2026 — go off, kernel docs, you iconic thing 💖✨
