SCALANCE W780/W740 to IEEE 802.11n Web Based Management
416 Configuration Manual, 08/2018, C79000-G8976-C267-13
Note
This WBM page can only be configured with the following KEY
-PLUGs:
Access point: W780 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-8PA00)
Client: W740 iFeatures (MLFB 6GK5 907-4PA00)
Requirements for using iPRP
● The Base Bridge mode "802.1Q VLAN Bridge" is set.
● The VLANs are created
● Access point mode: The VAP interface is enabled.
● Client mode: For "MAC Mode", "Layer 2 Tunnel" is set.
When should iPRP be used?
Note
Use of iPRP with other iFeatures
IPRP and other iFeatures (e.g. iPCF. iPCF
-HT, , iPCF-MC) are not compatible with each
other and cannot be used at the same time on a device.
iPRP with oversize frames (jumbo frames)
To be able to use oversize frames, oversize frame
s (jumbo frames) must be configured for
all devices in the network.
Agent VLAN (management VLAN) with iPRP
The iPRP VLAN can be used as the agent VLAN. This depends where the device is located.
If the device is located in the PRP network A or PRP network B, as the agent VLAN use
the VLAN that PRPA or PRPB is assigned to.
If the access points are located in both PRP networks, you can use one of the two VLANs
as the agent VLAN. As an alternative you can also use other VLANs as agent VLANs.
The division into PRP networks A and B must remain. A single management VLAN for all
devices in network A and B is not possible without further measures.
With the "industrial Parallel Redundancy Protocol" (iPRP) the PRP technology can be used
in a wireless network. With IPRP the PRP frames are transferred parallel via two wireless
links. The parallel transfer allows disruptions of the transfer on one wireless link to be
compensated on the other.
