Navigation “Industrial Ethernet −> Configuration”
The display menus and the pages of the WBM allow you to set the IP parameters.
Here, you can specify whether the IE/AS-i LINK obtains its IP address dynamically
or whether you set a fixed address. In the pages of WBM, you can also activate
options for accessing the device, such as SNMP.
Basics on Configuring the IP Parameters
If you change an IP parameter, existing Ethernet connections are terminated.
Note
When shipped, SNMP is enabled.
When shipped, no IP configuration (IP address, subnet mask and default gateway)
is set.
Notice
If the IP address is assigned by a DHCP server, it is possible that the link will not
be accessible for brief periods when short IP address lease times (< 5 minutes)
elapse.
Notice
Remember that there is a setting in STEP 7/HW Config in the Properties dialog of
the IE/AS-i LINK with which the IP address can be assigned by the PROFINET IO
controller. In this case, the IP address of the device is overwritten when the
PROFINET IO controller starts up.
You will find rules on specifying IP address and subnets in the STEP 7 online help
under “IP address”.
