Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500R/H

Each of the PROFINET interfaces has a MAC address and each of the PROFINET ports has its
own MAC address. There are a total of ten MAC addresses for the two CPUs of the
CPU1515R‑2PN.
The MAC addresses of the PROFINET ports are needed for the LLDP protocol, for example for
the neighborhood discovery function.
The number range of the MAC addresses is sequential. The first and last MAC addresses are
printed on the rating plate on the right side of each CPU1515R‑2PN.
The table below shows how the MAC addresses are assigned.
