The receive operates similarly to the transmit side. The frame first passes through address filtering and validation processing before being checked for a VLAN TPID. Receive FCS stripping in the TEMAC core is required when using VLAN translation because the FCS field that arrives with the frame is no longer valid with the new TPID value. Although receive stripping is enabled, any padding, if present, is not stripped due to the TYPE/LENGTH field of the receive frame containing a VLAN tag rather than a length value.
