DP83848I: DP83848I - Special connection pins 20 and 21 concerns

Part Number: DP83848I

Hi,

I have a design , where Reserved pins(# 20 and #21) are not pulled up(2.2k ohms); however it is required as per  datasheet recomandations

Pls. clarify below points

1. What is the purpose/function  of these two reserved pins

2. Does it impact on the functionality ?

2. Does these Pull -up is only to protected IC's from external interference?

3. If not conencted (as in our case)- will there be any chance of increased failure of IC during bulk

Looking forward to your early response
