You can configure how and with which method the CP is assigned the IP address, the
subnet mask and the address of a gateway.
●
The IP configuration and the connection configuration (IPv4) can also be assigned to the
CP by the user program (for program blocks refer to the section Program blocks -

IPv6 addresses - area of use on the CP
An IP address according to IPv6 can be used for the following communications services:
●
FETCH/WRITE access (CP is server)
●
FTP server mode
●
FTP client mode with addressing via program block
●
E-mail transfer with addressing via program block
●
TCP via OUC blocks with the following SDTs: TCON_QDN, TCON_QDN_SEC

When using IPv6 addresses, make sure to configure the DNS server accordingly.
Access to the Web server of the CPU
Via the LAN interface of the CP, you have access to the Web server of the CPU. With the aid
of the Web server of the CPU, you can read out module data from a station.
Note the special description of the Web server; refer to the section Guide to the
documentation (Page 9)
Note
Web server access using the HTTPS protocol
The Web server of a SIMATIC S7-1500 station is located in the CPU. For this reason, when
there is secure access (HTTPS) to the Web server of the station using the IP address of the
CP 1543-1, the SSL certificate of the CPU is displayed.
