Introduction

The basic FDR client service (FDR_CLIENT) is applied to the IP configuration that the BMENOR2200H module receives from the CPU via X Bus.

NOTE:

  • This module does not support DHCP or BOOTP.

  • Static IP parameters are not stored locally in this module.

  • The cyber security configuration is stored in the BMENOR2200H module.

Configuration Process

The service configures the IP parameters for the BMENOR2200H module:

Stage

Description

1

The module gets its IP configuration data from the user-specified configuration source.

2

The module gets its configuration file from the CPU.

3

The service validates the IP parameters (IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address).

4

The module configures the device with the validated IP parameters.

Default IP Address

MAC-based default address information is used in these cases:

  • There is no configuration file.

  • The IP information is not valid.

  • The configured IP address conflicts with the address of another module in the system.

When a default channel is used, the module does not get a valid IP address from the CPU. Instead, it uses the default IP address 10.10.mac5.mac.6. In this case, the module detects a duplicated IP status and does not run.

Behavior

When you power up the BMENOR2200H module, the FDR client service uses the default IP (MAC-based: 10.10.mac5.mac6). When the initialization is complete, the FDR client service gets the IP configuration from the CPU. Then the service validates those IP parameters:

  • OK: The FDR client uses the received parameters when they are valid and not duplicates.

  • not OK: The FDR client service uses the default IP when any of the received IP parameters are not valid, missing, or duplicated.

NOTE: When a duplicate IP address is found in the system, the ETH STS LED is solid red. Refer to the description of LED indications.

When the IP address parameters represent a duplicate IP address, the FDR client sends ARP requests to detect the IP. If the duplicate IP parameters disappear, the FDR client uses the configured IP parameters. After the IP configuration, the FDR client service sends gratuitous ARP requests.
