If you subsequently upload the configuration data from the CPU to a PG you will always
obtain the configuration data that was previously on the CP (with parameters, connections,
IP address).
Note
Memory reset - ACL (access control list) / firewall / VPN configuration
After a memory reset on the module, the following applies:
•
ACL or firewall configurations remain active.
•
The VPN configuration is deleted.
Effect: After a memory reset, the module can no longer be reached via a VPN tunnel.
Note
Memory reset - PROFINET IO is being used
If you run a memory reset a CPU as of version 5.2, the CP memory is also reset if you are
using PROFINET IO.
Note the restrictions when a protection level is configured for the CPU. See section Effects of
protection levels (Page 67) for information on this.

Clear/reset module - effects
After resetting memory, the CP retains the configured MAC address, the IP address and the
retentive parameters (for information on the retentive parameters, refer to section CPLUG
(configuration plug) (Page 60)). The CP is therefore immediately ready for downloads using
the IP address.
The configuration data is retained on the CPU.
