Set IP address

Changing your IP address will probably be necessary to install the 9300-8EDM

into your Ethernet network. Follow the following steps to change the IP address.

1. Find an available IP address on your subnet

2. Establish a connection with the 9300-8EDM
3. Click on the “Basic Configuration” Folder
4. Click “Network Configuration”

10
 5. Your screen should appear as follows:

6. Enter your new IP address

7. If needed, change the subnet mask and Gateway
8. Turn BOOTP Client off to prevent dynamic IP address assignment
9. If using hostnames on the network, Name Resolution must be turned on
and the DNS server addresses must be configured (usually required if
using the email functionality)
10. Click “Apply Changes”
11. Once IP and subnet are changed, power MUST be cycled to load the
new address

THE 9300-8EDM WILL NOT LOAD THE NEW IP, AND SUBNET
ADDRESS UNTIL POWER IS CYCLED

Power can be cycled remotely through the Management Interface by:

1. Click the “Diagnostics” folder
2. Click “Controller Restart” (Note: This restarts the 8EDM only, this will not
restart the PLC and all communications through the 8EDM will be
interrupted)

Setting IP address with Bootp:

The 9300-8EDM ships with Bootp client enabled by default. To assign an

address simply put the 8EDM on a network with a Bootp Server, and cycle power
to the 9300-8EDM. It will attempt to obtain an IP address several times from the
server, before timing out and defaulting to the factory preset address:
192.168.1.1

11
Set Security

We recommend changing the Administrator and Read-Only password before the

unit is placed in service. The Administrator password is used for the
Management Interface (HTTP session), telnet and the ftp interface (used to
upgrade the firmware). The username verified for the ftp session only, the
username for the HTTP session is not checked (therefore can be anything). The
Read-Only password is used for Read-Only access to the Management Interface
(HTTP session). Change your Administrative or Read-Only username and
password as follows:

1. Click the “Basic Configuration” Folder

2. Click “Set Security”
3. Change the username and password (see Appendix B for
recommendations)
4. Click “Apply Changes”
5. Cycle power to the unit to load the new username and password

The Administrative password applies to Telnet, FTP, and the Web Browser
Interface.

THE 9300-8EDM WILL NOT LOAD THE NEW SETTINGS UNTIL

POWER IS CYCLED

Miscellaneous

Box Name:
This setting allows you to give your 9300-8EDM a name that describes its
location or connected devices. This feature is useful when multiple 9300-8EDMs
are installed. The unit reports this name on the Home Page
To change this setting:
1. Click “Basic Configuration” Folder
2. Click “Miscellaneous”
3. Type the new name in the Text Box and click “Apply Changes”
4. The new name will not be shown on the Home page until you hit the
Refresh button on the browser

User Inactivity
This setting allows you to change the length of time the Management Interface
(HTTP session) will remain open while inactive. Choose anywhere from 0-99
minutes. Selecting a value of 0 = feature disabled, the interface will remain open
until it is closed.
Default Value: 3 Minutes

12
Status Refresh
This setting controls the refresh rate of the Management Interface. Choose
anywhere from 0-99 seconds.
Value of 0 = Feature Disabled, will not refresh
Default Value: 5 seconds

2 Network Services Setup
This Chapter covers:
ƒ IGMP Definition and Configuration
ƒ DHCP Definition and Configuration
ƒ DHCP Address Table
ƒ MAC Address Labels
ƒ Email Configuration
ƒ SMS Configuration

Definitions
UDP: Defined by RFC 1122, section 4.1: The User Datagram Protocol offers
only a minimal transport service. UDP is used by applications that do not require
the level of service of TCP or that wish to use communications services (e.g.,
multicast or broadcast delivery) not available from TCP. An application program
running over UDP must deal directly with end-to-end communication problems
that a connection-oriented protocol would have handled -- e.g., retransmission for
reliable delivery, packetization and reassembly, flow control, congestion
avoidance, etc., when these are required. This is commonly seen with I/O type
devices that will send out information at an RPI rate.

TCP: Transmittion Control Protocol, TCP enables two hosts to establish a

connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and
also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they
were sent.

DNS- (Domain Name Server) Translates domain names into IP addresses, for
example www.example.com may translate to 192.168.100.100

DHCP- (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Commonly used on office

networks, Scarce IP address space is efficiently used because IP addresses are
"leased" to clients for a limited time. This lease concept facilitates the recycling of
addresses, which is the heart of DHCP.

Bootp- (Bootstrap Protocol) Commonly used with AB Ethernet products, defined

by RFC 951, BOOTP protocol is used by a client machine to locate its IP address
and network mask.
Domain- A group of computers and devices on a network that are controlled as a
unit with common rules and procedures

14
IGMP Definition and Configuration

IGMP Definition
The 9300-8EDM includes a feature called IGMP snooping. IGMP snooping will
sort multicasting devices into groups. This will limit the multicast packets
received by hosts that do not need the info, thus making the network more
efficient and deterministic.

Without IGMP snooping an I/O module will act like

a broadcasting device and all devices on the subnet will be
flooded with I/O traffic

IGMP snooping will filter the I/O traffic from devices that are
not in the intended multicast group

A message instruction from one PLC to another would be an

example of unicast, it contains one source and
one destination address.

When to use IGMP

IGMP should be used when I/O is running on your network. IGMP will help to
isolate this UDP traffic to ports that need to receive it. When it is not used, other
devices may be slowed down by the continuous flow of UDP packets.

IGMP Configuration
IGMP is configured by enabling it and setting the version and query period. The
9300-8EDM supports version 1 and version 2 IGMP. Determine which version
your devices are using and make the appropriate selection. The Query period
determines how often your network is queried for Group information, the hosts on
your network will respond with their group information. To see your multicast
groups, the IGMP report can be found under the “Diagnostics” folder.

IGMP support for Rockwell Products

1756-ENBT (fw 1.4) - version 1
1756-ENBT/B (fw 2.7 and above) – version 2

15
Note when using Logix version 15 or greater and scanning the 9300-8EDM using
the Add on Profile: Settings of the IGMP tab in the profile will overwrite settings
made on the HTML management interface. If you are scanning the 9300-8EDM
with Logix use the IGMP tab in the add on profile to configure IGMP to avoid
confusion. (see appendix F for more information).

DHCP Definition and Configuration

The 9300-8EDM can function as a DHCP/BOOTP server. This is not to be
confused with BOOTP/DHCP client which allows the 9300-8EDM to receive and
address from a DHCP/BOOTP server.

DHCP/BOOTP Configuration
Dynamic IP address assignment by IP address Pool:
It is important to keep this feature shut off if this device is on a larger
IT controlled network. Company networks typically have DHCP
servers in place to service the computers on the network with IP
addresses. This device may conflict with the existing DHCP servers
on the network and prevent them from handing out addresses.
The 9300-8EDM has the ability to serve IP addresses to 32 nodes. We set up
the 9300-8EDM as follows:
1. Establish a Connection with the 9300-8EDM
2. Select NETWORK SERVICES SETUP>DHCP CONFIGURATION
3. Enable the DHCP Server by selecting “ON – Assigned from Pool” (Will be
off by default)
4. Select your subnet and gateway addresses for the network
5. Select the primary and secondary DNS servers. The domain name should
be filled out if the 9300-8EDM resides on a domain
6. Next we assign a pool of address for the 9300-8EDM to pick from.
7. Dynamic bootp should be enabled to answer bootp requests
8. Lease time is only active for DHCP requests, therefore will usually be
irrelevant. Bootp will set this value to 49710 days making the address
permanent.
9. Cycle power for the changes to take effect

Dynamic IP address assignment by Port:

The 9300-8EDM has the ability to serve IP addresses based on the port the
device is connected to. When used properly, this feature can allow easy
replacement of Ethernet equipment on the factory floor. We set up the 9300-
8EDM as follows:

16
 1. Establish a Connection with the 9300-8EDM
2. Select NETWORK SERVICES SETUP>DHCP CONFIGURATION
3. Enable the DHCP Server by selecting “ON – Assigned by Port” (Will be off
by default)
4. Select your subnet and gateway addresses for the network
5. Select the primary and secondary DNS servers. The domain name should
be filled out if the 9300-8EDM resides on a domain
6. Next we assign an IP addresses to all ports

7. Lease time is only active for DHCP requests, therefore will usually be
irrelevant. Bootp will set this value to 49710 days making the address
permanent.
8. Cycle power for the changes to take effect

Note: If multiple devices are connected to a port (uplink to another switch) the IP
address will be sent to the first device to request it from the port. If a field is set
to an address of 0.0.0.0 a DHCP request on the port will be ignored.

Most applications with PLCs will not require the DNS, Domain name, and lease
time fields to be changed. If these functions do not apply to your network, leave
these fields at their default value.

Hint:
When Ethernet/IP certification is requested from the ODVA each product must
get a Unique Product Code (ex. A 1794-AENT would have a product code of 90).
This can be checked with a Get Attribute Single MSG instruction and compared
to verify a generic device that does not use keying. This number would be
unique to the product line not the individual device (like the MAC ID). This will
help verify that the Logix Controller is talking with the correct device.

17
DHCP Address Table
The DHCP Address Table is populated when the server is set to assign an IP
address from a pool. This table will detail which IP address is assigned to a
device (by MAC ID).

MAC Address Labels

This section allows the 9300-8EDM user to associate a “user-friendly label” to a
MAC ID within the 9300-8EDM user interface. When a label is associated with a
MAC ID it will be reflected in the MAC ID table and the MAC ID management
interface.

18
This feature eases troubleshooting a network. The labels are reflected in the
MAC Address Report (see above) and the MAC ID Management Configuration
screen (see above).
Email Configuration
The 9300-8EDM includes an embedded email client that uses an email relay
server or gateway message server to send email and/or text messages to a mail
recipient, mobile telephone, or portable wireless device.

The network gateway address and DNS information must be entered. This setup
is only required once and is stored in the 9300-8EDM’s non-volatile memory.
See page 10 for help setting up the network addresses. For help locating these
IP addresses see your network administrator.

Note:
If you do not intend to use symbolic names (e.g. smtp@yahoo.com) but rather
IP addresses only to access your mail server, you can leave the DNS
configuration empty.

The SMTP server parameters are setup on the Email Configuration page.

• Click on the Network Services Setup tab and then select Email
Configuration.

19
 • Enter your SMTP server name or IP address in the field labeled IP
or Hostname.
• If authentication is used, (required by most ISPs) click the SMTP
Authentication check box and then enter your user name and
password.
o Basic authentication, compatible with POP servers, is
supported. The name and password entered here are those
associated with your outgoing email account.

Now you can test sending an email message from the Send an Email web
page. Make sure that the 9300-8EDM is connected to a network that has
access to your email server. This may require access to the internet.

20
 Note: A status message providing the result of this operation will be
displayed at the bottom of the page. Detailed error descriptions will allow
you to easily identify a potential problem.

SMS Configuration
If you intend to use an SMS gateway service to send text messages to a mobile
telephone or portable wireless device, click on the SMS Configuration tab and
enter the email address of your SMS gateway provider. Enter this address in the
SMS GW Server field, then fill in your account ID. Enter your user name and
password.

Note: Most newer cell phones will except email directly, if your phone accepts
email you do not need to use an SMS gateway service to get text messages from
the 9300-8EDM. See your Cell phone providers web site to get the email
address of your cell phone.

This setup is also tested using the Send an Email page. The To: field will be the
phone number of the device to receive the message.

Sending an Email via a Controller-Initiated Message

Instruction
A Logix controller can send a generic CIP message instruction to the Ethernet
diagnostic module that instructs the 9300-8EDM to send an email message to a

21
SMTP email server using the standard SMTP protocol. This is useful to
communicate controller data, network alerts, and/or application conditions to
appropriate personnel.

You need two controller-scoped string tags. One tag contains the email text and
the other contains the status of the email transmission (the result code). These
tags contain as many as 520 characters. You must first create a user-defined
STRING data type (the default STRING data type in RSLogix 5000 software is
not large enough for most email text). For example, create a string data type
named EmailString. Next, create one controller-scoped tag of this new data type
to contain the email text named EDM_EMAIL. Create a second controller-
scoped tag of this new data type to contain the transmission status named
EmailDstStr. Both of these tags are of type EmailString.

• Open your RSLogix program and go to Data Types, Strings. Create

EmailString type. Note the initial LEN field. When you edit this tag its
length will be automatically inserted by the RSLogix editor. When sending
email with MSG instructions the length of the LEN field must be added to
the string length. For more details see the RSLogix program example.

22
• Open tags and select the Edit tab. Insert EDM_EMAIL and EmailDstStr.
Both tags are of the type EmailString. These tags can be also created
later when the MSG instruction is inserted. The text of the email does not
have to be static. You can program a controller project to collect specific
data to be sent in an email. For more information on using ladder logic to
manipulate string data, see the Logix 5000 Controllers Common
Procedures Programming Manual, publication 1756-PM001.

• Create a tag of the type MESSAGE. Our example uses a tag named
SendEmail_EDM. Set the message type to generic CIP, service code 4b,
object class 32f, instance 1, attribute 0. The source length is the length of
the string in the EDM_EMAIL tag + 4.

23
It is very important to enter the correct communication path. Click on the Communication tab and then the Browse
button. Select the name associated with your 9300-8EDM from the I/O tree and then click Apply. In this example the
name is Zypcom_Test_Unit. For more information on configuring the path of a MSG instruction, see the Logix
Controllers General Instructions Reference Manual, publication 1756-RM003.

• If an error occurs, you will see the Error Code (Extended Error Code).
The result code from the SMTP server is stored in the EmailDstStr tag.

See page 32 for a table of status codes.

24
Open your routine window (e.g. MainRoutine) and insert a MSG instruction.
Select the SendEmail MESSAGE tag. Now you can double click on the MSG
block and select source (EDM_EMAIL) and destination (EmailDstStr) tags.

In our example there are also GetAttributeValue and SetAttributeValue tags and
GetAttribute / SetAttribute MESSAGE tags for individual attribute handling.

Message sending is triggered by the trigger_send BOOL tag. The message is

sent when you press Ctrl-T in the rung or if you set the tag value to 1.

An example of a program that sends an email when any unauthorized MAC is detected by the 9300-8EDM is shown
here:

25
Entering the text of the email
Use the string browser to enter the text of the email. In the example above, you
enter the email text into the EWEB_EMAIL tag. To include “To:”, “From:”, and
“Subject:” fields in the email, use <CR><LF> symbols to separate each of these
fields. The “To:” and “From”” fields are required; the “Subject:” field is optional.
Use a second set of <CR><LF> symbols after the last one of these fields you
enter. For example:

To: email address of recipient $r$l

From: email address of sender$r$l
Subject: subject of message $r$l$r$l
body of email message

The maximum length of an email message is 520 characters. An additional 4-

byte string-length value is added to the tag. As a result, the maximum source
length is 524 characters.

Note: <CR><LF> characters are coded as $r$l:

26
Sending an SMS from the PLC
Text messages are sent in the same way as a normal email message. The only
difference is the recipient in the “To:” field is a telephone number instead of a
normal email address.

The email format for sending text messages using a SMS gateway service is
shown below:

api_id:nnnnnnn$r$l
user:xxxxx$r$l
password:ppppp$r$l
to:cell_phone#$r$l
text:Simple text$r$l
text:on all$r$l
text:3 lines. $r$l
text:Sms signature - 1234567890123456$r$l

Modifying the SMTP Server Setup within a PLC Program

You can modify the SMTP server through which emails are sent by setting class
32f, attribute #5.

Note: Set Attribute Single uses service code 10:

27
Email and SMS Error Codes
Examine the destination element of the email MSG to see whether the email was
successfully delivered to the mail relay server. This indicates that the mail relay
server placed the email message in a queue for delivery. It does not mean the
intended recipient successfully received the email message. Possible codes that
could be in this destination element are:
Error Code (hex): Extended-Error Description:
Code (hex):
0x00 none Delivery successful to the mail relay server.
0x02 none Resource unavailable. The email object was unable to obtain memory
resources to initiate the SMTP session.
0x08 none Unsupported Service Request. Make sure the service code is 0x4B
and the Class is 0x32F
0x11 none Reply data too large. The Destination string must reserve space for
the SMTP server reply message. The maximum reply can be 470
bytes
0x13 none Configuration data size too short. The Source Length is less than the
Source Element string size plus the 4-byte length. The Source Length
must equal the Source Element string size + 4
0x15 none Configuration data size too large. The Source Length is greater than
the Source Element string size plus the 4-byte length. The Source
Length must equal the Source Element string size + 4
0x19 none Data write failure. An error occurred when attempting to write the
SMTP server address (attribute 4) to non-volatile memory.
0xFF 0x0100 Error returned by email server; check the Destination string for reason.
The email message was not queued for delivery
0x0101 SMTP mail server not configured. Attribute 5 was not set with a SMTP
server address.
0x0102 “To:” address not specified. Attribute 1 was not set with a “To:”
address AND there is not a “To:” field header in the email body
0x0103 0x0103 “From:” address not specified. Attribute 2 was not set with a
“From:” address AND there is not a “From:” field header in the email
body.
0x0104 Unable to connect to SMTP mail server set in Attribute 5. If the mail
server address is a hostname, make sure that the device supports
DNS, and that a Name Server is configured. If the hostname is not
fully qualified, i.e., “mailhost” and not “mailhost.xx.yy.com” then the
domain must be configured as “xx.yy.com”. Try “ping <mail server
address>” to insure the mail server is reachable from your network.
Also try “telnet <mail server address> 25” which attempts to initiate a
SMTP session with the mail server via telnet over port 25. (If you
connect then enter “QUIT”).
0x0105 Communication error with SMTP mail server. An error occurred after
the initial connection with the SMTP mail server. See the ASCII text
following the error code for more details as to the type of error.
0x0106 SMTP mail server host name DNS query did not complete. A previous
send service request with a host name as the SMTP mail server
address did not yet complete. Note that a timeout for a DNS lookup
with an invalid host name can take up to 3 minutes. Long timeouts can

IGMP Report
IGMP protocol adds a group number to a transmitted packet. Only hosts in that
IGMP group will receive the packet. The IGMP protocol prevents a multicast
packet from behaving like a broadcast (transmitted to all network hosts). The
switch manages the task of forming a table of IGMP groups and hosts belonging
to those groups. The table can be displayed by selecting Diagnostics>IGMP
report

MAC Address Report

All Ethernet equipment has a MAC address (hardware address). These can be
displayed by selecting Diagnostics>MAC address report. A pool of MAC
addresses are assigned to each Ethernet product manufacturer. For example,
Allen Bradley Ethernet equipment MAC addresses usually begin with 00:00:BC.

Alarm Setup
Alarm setup is used to see the bandwidth on each port; the bar will turn red when
the bandwidth is out of range.

32
Refresh
Used to refresh your screen with the latest information, the screen will
automatically refresh at the rate configured under Basic Configuration>Refresh
Rate.

Save Traffic Reference

Used as a benchmark for the system network. Click this button when the
network is running as it should in production. The 9300-8EDM will calculate the
difference between the reference point and the current levels of traffic for each
port. If it varies to an alarm state it will send an input to the PLC indicating the
port number. (See Appendix D For the complete I/O table for the 9300-8EDM)

Bandwidth Alarm
Disabled by default, when enabled will calculate the difference between the
reference point of the network and the current rate of traffic. If a variation,

33
exceeding the allowed traffic difference, occurs it sends an input to the PLC
indicating the port number that the bandwidth issue is occurring.

Scaling Factor
Most applications will have such a small amount of traffic that the bandwidth will
only be a fraction of a percent. The scaling factor allows a more visual
representation of the traffic on each port. See the detailed information link on the
alarm setup screen for more information on how the bandwidth is calculated.

Time Factor
The length of time packets are counted to determine the bandwidth percentage
for each port. (See the detailed information link on the alarm setup screen for
more information on how the bandwidth is calculated)

Allowed Traffic Difference

The percentage that the current traffic level can vary in either direction, from the
stored reference value, before an input is sent to the PLC.

Controller Restart
This selection will restart the 9300-8EDM. It is useful when making configuration
changes. The 9300-8EDM must be restarted for some changes to take effect.

PLC Configuration
Read only information about the 9300-8EDM, relating to the PLC connection:
EDS filename, Multicast address used by the 9300-8EDM, Status information on
the 9300-8EDM

Automatic System Alerts

The 9300-8EDM may also be configured to automatically send system alert
messages via the email client to a recipient’s email address, mobile telephone, or
portable wireless device. This can be useful in a critical control network to alert
network personnel of a problem in the network as it occurs. Events in the
network like unauthorized MAC ID’s, bandwidth utilization alarms, or port down
can be communicated automatically to the responsible supervisor.

To enable this capability, click on the Diagnostics tab and select Automatic
Alerts. The alert page will open. You can enter up to six different email
addresses or mobile telephone numbers in the Recipients list. After you have
finished this, click Save Recipients. Next, select which alerts you want to
automatically trigger a message by clicking on the check box next to the alert.
You can select any number of automatic alerts from the list. When you’ve

34
finished your selection enable Automatic Alerts at the top of the page and click
Apply Changes.

The screen below shows the Automatic Alert setup page:

Email Queue Status

Gives status on email queue, including: # of emails sent successfully, any
dropped messages, and pending messages.

35
Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade firmware of the 9300-8EDM in one of two ways: using the 9300-
RADES configuration utility (described in appendix A), or with this web page.

4 Switch Management

This Chapter covers:

ƒ Port Configuration
ƒ Mirror Configuration
ƒ MAC ID Management
ƒ VLAN setup
ƒ QoS setup
ƒ Display Counters

Port Configuration
This device auto-negotiates most of its settings to ease the configuration
process. However, these settings can be manually set by using this menu
option.

TX/RX
Default: Both
Choices: None, TX, RX, Both
Controls communications on the selected port

Negotiation
Default: Auto
Choices: None, Auto
Turn off auto-negotiation here if the port is to be manually configured

Rate
Auto-negotiates 10 or 100 mbit/second based on the connected device, must be
manually selected if the negotiation parameter is changed to none

Duplex mode
Auto-negotiates half or full based on the connected device. Must be manually
selected if the negotiation parameter is changed to none

Flow Control
Default: On
Prevents port buffers from over filling

37
Port Mirroring
Default: Disabled
Allows traffic on one port, to be copied and sent (mirrored) to another port to
allow an Ethernet sniffer to capture it.

Quality of Service
Default: Disabled
When enabled, the switch can prioritize packet delivery to a certain port or MAC
address.

IGMP snooping
Default: Disabled
When enabled, it sorts Multicast packets into groups and delivers them to the
appropriate group.

Mirror Configuration
This section configures the rules or filters for port mirroring.
Filters can be configured to only capture packets from certain devices (MAC
addresses). We can also filter to capture packets with a certain destination
address.

To enable port mirroring follow these two steps:

1. Enable Port Mirroring by selecting Switch Configuration>Mirror
Configuration

2. Configure the Ports by selecting Switch Configuration>Port Configuration

38
Setting Up the Ports:
Default: None
Choices: IN, OUT, BOTH, NONE
In: mirror incoming traffic, Out: mirror outgoing traffic,
Both: mirror both directions, Capt: capture mirrored traffic
The above selections are port based.

Optional Port Mirroring Parameters

Includes: Setting up filters and Setting up a divider. (See below)
Setting Up the Filter:
Two filters need to be configured, the Input (Ingress Mirror Filter) and the Output
(Egress Mirror Filter)
Default: All Transmitted
Choices: All Transmitted, All Transmitted frames with Destination Address equal
to the MAC address field, All Received frames with Source Address equal to the
MAC address field

Setting Up the Divider:

The Divider allows further filtering

Example: Port 4 is set up to CAPTURE Port 3’s incoming frames.

The Input Filter is set to capture traffic with Source Address 00:00:BC:03:4E:08.
The Input Divider is set to 2, to capture every other frame coming to port 3 with
Source address of 00:00:BC:03:4E:08, this MAC address belongs to IP
address 100.100.101.2.

39
Once the Mirror configuration is complete, you can then look at the packets with
Ethernet Sniffer Software.

Important Note: Port Mirroring and IGMP snooping are mutually exclusive.
When Port Mirroring is enabled IGMP snooping is disabled. Port mirroring is a
diagnostic tool; this feature should be disabled while running in a production
environment.

MAC ID Management
Used to manage Ethernet devices that connect to the network, allows stricter
control of the Ethernet network without the use of special Ethernet management
software.

MAC ID Management
Possible Values: Enabled, Disabled
Default Value: Disabled

40
Used to enable this feature and send inputs to the PLC indicating unauthorized
access to the network.

Apply Changes
Click this button to finalize any changes made to this page.

Learned MAC Addresses

This table lists the MAC IDs detected on the network by the 9300-8EDM. The
port number and MAC ID are shown for each device detected on the network.
This list is built automatically by the 9300-8EDM.

Authorized MAC Addresses

This list indicates which MAC IDs are allowed on the network. This list must be
created by the user. Whenever a new device comes online, this list is checked to
determine if it is authorized. If the device is not authorized, an input is sent the
PLC. (See Appendix D for the I/O table of the 9300-8EDM)

Authorize All Button

This button moves all MAC IDs listed on the leaned MAC ID list to the authorized
MAC ID list.

Authorize MAC Button

Authorizes the MAC ID that is typed in the box to the left of this button

Remove All Button

Removes all authorized MAC IDs from the authorized list

Remove Selected
Removes the selected MAC ID from the authorized list

VLAN setup
Used when network bandwidth becomes critical.
VLAN can be used to eliminate traffic caused by Multicast and Broadcast
Ethernet traffic. With this feature, we can partition the switch ports into different
private virtual networks.

For each received packet the switch resolves the destination address and
determines the appropriate port. The VLAN configuration is then checked to see
if the destination address is configured to receive traffic from the source port.

Example:
Flex IO is connected to port 2 on the 8EDM, the IO is communicating with a
ControlLogix on port 3. We only want the ControlLogix on port 3 to receive
traffic from the Flex IO on port 2. VLAN can be used to prevent other devices on
the network from receiving packets from the Flex IO.

41
Our VLAN configuration would look as follows:

The Ingress Port (Source Port) 2 Will only Transmit to Egress Port (Destination
Port) 3

QoS setup
WARNING: Do not used on an Industrial Network; I/O devices do not
support QoS Protocol
QoS (Quality of service) allows the classification of Ethernet traffic into “high” and
“low” priority queues. High priority packets will be forwarded to their destination
address before a low priority packet. Packets can be classified as high or low by:
MAC address, 802.1p priority tag, and or port ID.

42
Port based priority
When changed to High, the incoming traffic for that port is considered High
Priority.

High/Low Quality weight

Establishes algorithm for switching between High and low priority Queues. The
default value of 15/1 will send 15 blocks of High priority traffic then send 1 block
of low priority traffic.

MAC based priority

Incoming packets are cross referenced with the MAC based QoS list, and put
into the high priority queue if the destination address is on the list.

802.1P priority
Each incoming packet is examined for a valid 802.1p priority tag. If present, the
packet will be put in the high priority queue if the priority tag exceeds the QoS
Priority Threshold.

43
