Managed Ethernet Switch (UI_2.0_FW_5.x) Featured Functions
Industrial Protocols
The Moxa switch supports 3 industrial protocols, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFITNET I/O. All three
protocols can be enabled or disabled by checking the appropriate checkbox. Modbus TCP is enabled by default,
with the other two options disabled.
IGMP Snooping and IGMP Query functions will be enabled automatically to be properly integrated in
Rockwell systems for multicast Implicit (I/O) Messaging for efficient EtherNet/IP communication.
EtherNet/IP can’t be enabled while IGMP snooping is disabled due to VLAN setting.
The ICS-G7700A series and ICS-G7800A series only support EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP.
Diagnostics
The Moxa switch provides three important tools for administrators to diagnose network systems: LLDP, Ping,
and Port Mirror.
LLDP
Overview
protocol defined by IEEE 802.11AB. LLDP
identification advertisement method, and allows each
networking device, such as a Moxa managed switch, to periodically send its
system and configuration information to its neighbors. Because of this, all
LLDP devices are kept informed of each other’s status and configuration,
and with SNMP, this information can be transferred to Moxa’s MXview for
auto
-topology and network visualization.
From the switch’s web interface, you can enable or disable LLDP, and set
the LLDP transmit interval. In addition, you can view each switch’s
neighbor
list, which is reported by its network neighbors. Most importantly,
enabling the LLDP function allows Moxa’s MXview to automatically display
the network’s topology and system setup details, such as VLAN and
Trunking, for the entire network.
