Overview
The TCP/IP configuration of devices.
category regroups attributes related to theIt always contains at least one subcategory.
When a device manages other IP addresses in addition to the host addresses, their attributes are shown in separate interface subcategories, which correspond to the respective ports, for example, Port1_Interface. Typically, enabling the routing capability of a port ( attribute) creates such a subcategory.
Subcategory
The subcategory is present for devices that manage at least one IP address. It contains the attributes of the host IP addresses. A device can manage more than one host IP address.
Each interface subcategory features one or more of the following attributes.
Attribute |
Description |
---|---|
|
Indicates the communication protocol that is used by the interface. Possible values: For devices that support it, you can select either value. |
|
Lists the ports of the device to which the interface settings (such as Ethernet protocol, IP address, logical network) apply. NOTE: represents the processor
of the device itself.
|
|
Lets you enter the identification number of the physical device. The value is used as identifier for DHCP clients that are identified by their MAC address. Format: MM-MM-MM-SS-SS-SS where MM (vendor identification) and SS (device-specific identification) are hexadecimal numbers. |
|
The attribute is available only for BMENOC03•1.4 modules. When the check box is selected (true), the information message related to analysis rule ID 3008 is not displayed. NOTE: Selecting this check
box clears the check box in the IP address configuration
tab of the module in the control project and vice versa.

Attributes of IP Addresses
IP addresses can be configured manually or automatically by assigning the device to a logical network or by using the .
Each interface subcategory features one or more of the following attributes.

is an IP address that is available for:
NOTE: For the second BMECRA31310 module in each drop of a redundant PAC, is
read-only and set to the value of of the first CRA module +1.
|
|
is used by the RIO scanner. NOTE: For BMENUA0100 modules, contains the IP address of
the backplane port. It is automatically configured with an IP address
that belongs to the same logical network as of the CPU module.
|
|
Available only for interfaces in local rack B of a redundant PAC. The attribute is read-only and calculated automatically based on the value of . |

backplane port.

The number of bits of the user-configured IPv6 address that are used to define the subnet network. Default: 64 Range: 0 to 128 |
Section
For each IP address, the following attributes are available.
Attribute |
Description |
---|---|
|
Logical network that the interface of the object belongs to. You can assign an interface to an existing logical network or to a new one by using the list. This sets the IP address to the next available address on this logical network. The list contains the following entries:
