Application example
Configuring the neighborhood detection
A neighbor-port can be assigned to each Ethernet-port of a device. In case of a device exchange, this
port is then used to assign the IP-address and the device name to the new device.
The definition of the partner-port is done either in the properties of the devices' Ethernet-ports or
directly in the PROFINET Topology Editor (seepage 12-14).
Partner-port definition via port-configuration.
Selection of the port at the neighboring device to which this port is physically connected.
