Can VLANs be turned off on a Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROS?
Yes, VLANs can be turned off on a Siemens Control Unit. To do this, simply leave all ports set to type edge and the native VLAN set to 1. This is the default configuration for the switch.
How to allow devices in different VLANs to communicate using Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROS Control Unit?
If devices in different VLANs on your Siemens Control Unit need to communicate at the physical address layer, they must be members of the same VLAN. If they communicate at Layer 3 using a protocol such as IP or IPX, use a router.
Why is my Siemens Control Unit switch not responding to ping?
If the Siemens Control Unit switch is being pinged through a router, ensure that the switch gateway address is properly configured. The router must be configured with the appropriate IP subnets to forward the ping from the workstation to the switch.
What to do if the network locks up when connecting a new port on a Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROS Control Unit?
The network may lock up because a traffic loop has formed. This can happen if one of the switches or ports in the network has STP disabled and accidentally connects to another switch.
What causes intermittent link failure on a Siemens RUGGEDCOM ROS Control Unit as traffic increases?
Intermittent link operation on your Siemens Control Unit can be caused by a ‘duplex mismatch’. If one end of the link is set to full-duplex and the other end auto-negotiates, the auto-negotiating end might fall back to half-duplex operation.
How to restrict management traffic to a separate domain on Siemens Control Unit?
To restrict management traffic to a separate domain on your Siemens Control Unit, configure a port at the switch where the management station is located to use the new management VLAN as its native VLAN.
What to do if a Siemens Control Unit takes a long time to come up after a reset?
If a Siemens Control Unit takes a long time to come up after being reset, it might be because the RSTP edge setting for the port is set to false. Setting 'Edge' to true will allow the bridge to transition the port directly to forwarding upon link up.
What to do if links are inaccessible on Siemens Control Unit with LFI enabled?
If links are inaccessible even with Link Fault Indication (LFI) enabled on your Siemens Control Unit, ensure LFI is not also enabled on the peer. If both sides have LFI enabled, they will both withhold link signal generation from each other.
