Spanning tree
IP175C/IP175CH supports spanning tree function with the following features:
1. Detect BPDU frames by examining multicast address (01-80-c2-00-00-00).
2. Forward BPDU packets to CPU through MII0 and add special tag for source port information.
3. Forward BPDU packets from CPU according to the special tag in a frame.
Please refer to section 2.5 “Tag VLAN / Tag and un-tag function”.

Port states
To support spanning tree protocol, each port of IP175C/IP175CH provides five port states shown in the
following table. Port 0~4 of IP175C/IP175CH can be configured in one of the five spanning tree states
individually by programming MII register 30.16 to enable (disable) forwarding and learning function. Port
5 (MII0) is dedicated for CPU.
