More information
You can find a list of the exact available implemented protocols in the
chapter "Technical Data" to the fieldbus coupler and/or controller.
4.1.3.4.1
BootP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The BootP protocol defines a request/response mechanism with which the
MAC-ID of a fieldbus node can be assigned a fix IP address.
For this a network node is enabled to send requests into the network and call
up the required network information, such as the IP address of a BootP server.
The BootP server waits for BootP requests and generates the response from a
configuration database.
The dynamic configuration of the IP address via a BootP server offers the user
a flexible and simple design of his network. The WAGO BootP server allows
any IP address to be easily assigned for the WAGO (programmable) fieldbus
coupler or controller. You can download a free copy of the WAGO BootP
server over the Internet at:
More information
The procedure for address allocation with the WAGO BootP Server is
described in detail in the Chapter “Starting up a Fieldbus Node”.
The BOOTP Client allows for dynamic configuring of the network
parameters:
Parameter
Meaning
IP address of the client
Network address of the (programmable) fieldbus
coupler or controller
IP address of the router
If communication is to take place outside of the local
network, the IP address of the routers (gateway) is
indicated in this parameter.
Subnet mask
The Subnet mask makes the (programmable) fieldbus
coupler or controller able to differentiate, which parts of
