Configuring PROFINET
How to Configure PROFINET
The GSD file is on the switch, but the I/O supervisor uses this file.
Note: You must use the GSD file that is associated with the Cisco IOS release on the switch to manage your PROFINET
network. Both the I/O supervisor and the Cisco IOS software alert you to a mismatch between the GSD file and the switch
Cisco IOS software version.
