Chapter 6 Physical Interfaces
6.1 Ethernet Ports
An Ethernet interface is a physical interface for connection to the local network or external
networks.
The Ethernet ports ETH1 to ETH4 are assigned to a single logical Ethernet interface in ex
works state. The logical Ethernet interface is assigned and is preconfigured with the
IP Address and Netmask .
The port ETH5 is assigned to the logical Ethernet interface and is not precon-
figured.
Note
To ensure your device can be reached, when splitting ports make sure that Ethernet
interface is assigned - with the preconfigured IP address and netmask - to a
port that can be reached via Ethernet. If in doubt, carry out the configuration using a
console connection via the Console interface.
ETH1 - ETH4
The interfaces can be used separately. They are logically separated from each other, each
separated port is assigned the desired logical Ethernet interface in the Ethernet Interface
Selection field of the Port Configuration menu. For each assigned Ethernet interface, an-
other interface is displayed in the list in the LAN->IP Configuration menu, and the inter-
face can be confugred completely independently.
ETH5
By default, the logical Ethernet interface is assigned to the ETH5 port. The configur-
ation options are the same as those for the ports ETH1 - ETH4.
Note
If you want to operate the port ETH5 with an SFP module, this must be inserted before
the system reboot!
