Port Forward Between CPU Unit and NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
or Between EtherNet/IP Ports on NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit
s
The port forward can be performed between the built-in EtherNet/IP port on the CPU Unit and the
EtherNet/IP port on the NX-series EtherNet/IP Unit or between multiple
NX-series EtherNet/IP Units.
If the network addresses of the Units are duplicated, the IP router table settings are required. If there
are no duplicates, no IP router table settings are required.
The following figure shows communications between PC2 and PC3 and between PC3 and PC4.
In this case, PC2 needs to make route settings to PC3 192.168.11.100. Similarly, PC3 needs to make
route settings to PC2 192.168.20.100 and PC4 192.168.251.100, and PC4 needs to make route set-
tings to PC3 192.168.11.100.
