6.4.1
Port status
The current status and the settings of the Ethernet ports can be queried and changed.
The form for the display of the port status and for changing the port settings is found ´under “Port
Status” (Switch section).
A port can be switched on or off, meaning be deactivated.
A port can work with auto-negotiation (“auto”) or with 100 MBit/full duplex (“100f”):
With “auto”, the establishing of the Ethernet connection is preceded by a process in which MDI-X is
activated and the partners jointly agree upon a speed/duplex
With “100f”, both partners have set 100 MBit/full duplex as fixed and MDI-X is deactivated. A cross
cable is therefore necessary to use this setting.
Changes to the port settings are only possible as long as no PROFINET IO connection exists.
6.4.2
Port mirroring
The Ethernet ports of the PROFINET switch can be set up such that they mirror the incoming and
outgoing data traffic of a different port. A maximum of one port can be set up as a mirror of another.
The port thereby remains usable for own data traffic without restrictions.
The form for displaying and changing port mirroring is found under “Port Mirroring” (Switch
section).
