Port locking

register 30.31[8:0] or EEPROM 63[0] and 62[7:0]. User has to reset IP178C/IP178CH by writing
16’h55AA to MII register 30.0 after enabling this function. IP178C/IP178CH locks first MAC address if the
function is enabled. Any packet with MAC address not equal to the locked one will be dropped.

by pulling low pin 76 AGING or programming register 30.1[3:2].
