DP83TC812R-Q1: what are potential reasons for link down?

Part Number: DP83TC812R-Q1

hi,

as titled, what are potential reasons for link down:

1: I want to confirm, will every time reset result in a link down?

2. when write " ifconfig eth0 down", is it reasonable to do that?

3. what else?

thank you!

  • Hi Yuan,

    Could you give me more background on what issue you are facing? I am not sure if I understand your problem completely. 

    1. Hard reset and soft reset will result in link down on the PHY side (writing 0x001F register to 8000 or 4000)

    2. "ifconfig enth0 down" dropping link by the MAC

    Both ways should result in a link down
