Chapter 3 Physical Interfaces
3.1 Ethernet Ports
An Ethernet interface is a physical interface for connection to the local network or external
networks.
The Ethernet ports ETH1 to ETH4 are assigned to a single logical Ethernet interface in ex
works state. The logical Ethernet interface
'
is assigned and is preconfigured with
the IP Address
B DE
and Netmask
.
The logical Ethernet interface
'-
is assigned to the ETH5 port and is not precon-
figured.
Note
To ensure your system can be reached, when splitting ports make sure that
Ethernet interface
'
with the preconfigured IP address and netmask is
assigned to a port that can be reached via Ethernet. If in doubt, carry out the
configuration using a serial connection via the Serial 1 interface.
ETH1 - ETH4
The interfaces can be used separately. They are logically separated from each other,
each separated port is assigned the desired logical Ethernet interface in the Ethernet In-
terface Selection field of the Port Configuration menu. For each assigned Ethernet in-
terface, another interface is displayed in the list in the LAN->IP Configuration menu, and
the interface can be confugred completely independently.
ETH5
By default, the logical Ethernet interface
'-
is assigned to the ETH5 port. The config-
uration options are the same as those for the ports ETH1 - ETH4.
VLANs for Routing Interfaces
Configure VLANs to separate individual network segments from each other, for example
(e.g. individual departments of a company) or to reserve bandwidth for individual VLANs
