Hi Rivera, There are several tools available to monitor and troubleshoot an EtherNet/IP networks. Following manual is a bit older, but contains some basics of troubleshooting: Troubleshoot EtherNet/IP Networks Application Technique, ENET-AT003B-EN-P (rockwellautomation.com) What can also be ...

Hi Prakasha, As Philip mentioned, no issue in connecting it to the device port of the ETAP. This is the intention. In your case, as the 1794-AENTR is DLR capable, it could also be directly connect into the DLR ring. I would verify whether the cable itself is correctly installed and working properly. ...

Hi Mohmad, Please find an extract of the reference manual included in the latest released Network Device Library v12.03.00. The DLR Redundant Gateway status is being shown by the DLR faceplate. In case you would still need the message instructions for DLR, you can find these in the Device ...

RE: VLAN to VLAN communication in different stratix 5400 switches not happening

Hi James, About the REP ring, I now see you have 2 DLR rings (mistakenly thought you had 1 DLR ring). So, I assume DLR redundant gateway is enabled on those switches. In that case, no loops at that level ;-). For the connection between the switches, you do create a loop once the REP ring is operational ...

Hi James, Did you had a chance to try any of the suggestions made previously? Based in the config files, the REP configuration has not been changed. When you have a working REP ring (verify in Device Manager), you do not need to make another connection between both switches DS1 and DS2 as this causes ...

Hi Vilayil, From what I can see in another post, there has been several misconfigurations on the switches and I'm not sure what the status is now. From the picture shown, at least one of the switches has a fault (red LED OUT). You can see the fault via Monitor -> Syslog information via the Device ...

RE: Does a Stratix 8000 GB Port Trunk line provide management without setup?

Hi McKenzie, Stratix managed switches by default (OOB) have spanning tree enabled (protecting against loops). As you mentioned you went online to the switch, I assume an express setup has been performed. This also enables and configures lots of other features in the background like spanning tree protection ...

RE: NAT 5700 VLAN Configuration Management

Hi Xander, Based on the input you provided earlier, my understanding is that your configuration is not correct. NAT in Stratix switches is Layer 2 NAT, meaning that the VLAN doesn't change during NAT translation, only the IP addresses as per configuration. * VLAN 2 and 99 are not needed in that case ...

Hi Xander, MST is backward compatible with PVST+ and Rapid-PVST+. An MST switch is connected to other STP (PVST+ and Rapid-PVST+) switches by the Common Spanning Tree (CST). But you can change it if wanted. Rapid-PVST+ uses RSTP to provide faster convergence (compared to PVST). Kind regards, ...

Hi Xander, On your questions: * Native VLAN needs to be the same on the business network switch (Layer 3) and Stratix 5700 on the access layer. The port needs to be configured as a trunk port on both ends. With smartport 'Switch for Automation' this is the case on the Stratix 5700 side. * Only the VLANs ...

Hi Xander, The VLANs are not alligned between the different screenshots. The network drawing on picture 3.11 is the general idea on how to connect everything. On the NAT configuration example on picture 3.12, you can replace VLAN 3 with either VLAN 10 or 20 (depending on what NAT switch you are configuring) ...

Hi Levi, You can only reset or provide a new password by doing a short or medium express setup. When the switch already contains a configuration, you will first need to reset the switch to default. You already need to get hold of the switch configuration file (config.text), to be able to replace the ...

Hi, Ramon is correct. The NAT translation of the private devices is only performed on the Gigabit ports Gi1/1 and Gi1/2, which are SFP ports. So these will need to be your uplink ports to the Layer 3. More information on how to configure NAT on Stratix 5800, can be found in publication 1783-UM012 - ...

Hi Benjamin, Yes, configure the Stratix switch in the same range. It is advised to have unique IP addresses for all switches in both LAN A and B in order to access them for management and troubleshoot purpose. VLAN 501 is an example in the manual but can be freely selected. Advised is to not use ...

Hi Benjamin, The smartport configuration on Stratix 5400 switch is the same as in a non- PRP architecture. You can select 'Automation Device' for the ports that connect the EN2TP modules and set them to the VLAN of the 192.168.0.x network. This will set the port to access mode, enables portfast ...

There are several considerations that can be made on how to segment an architecture. As you already have everything working in the same VLAN now, you can leave it as is. Smartports for inter-switch connections -> switch for automation Smartports for end device -> (Multiport) automation device ...
