Connect to Different EtherNet/IP Network Levels Chapter 6
Connect to an
Enterprise-level Network
The CompactLogix 5480 controller Ethernet ports B1 and X1 can connect to
an enterprise-level network. A port that is connected to an enterprise-level
network is also known as an uplink port.
Remember the following when you connect to an enterprise-level network:
• You can connect only one port to an enterprise-level network at a time.
• When you set the IP address and subnet mask, you establish an IP
address range for the port. Make sure that the IP address ranges that are
established for each port on the controller do not overlap.
For more information on overlapping IP address ranges, see
page 134.
When you connect a port to an enterprise-level network, you configure the
following parameters:
• IP address (Required)
• Subnet mask, also called the network mask (Required)
• Gateway address (Optional)
• Host name (Optional)
• Domain name (Optional)
• Primary DNS server address (Required if your controller makes
DNS requests.)
• Secondary DNS server address (Required if your controller makes
DNS requests.)
