Chapter 3 Configure the Adapter for Your EtherNet/IP Network

Two bits of the Class B host ID are used to extend the network ID. Each unique
combination of bits in the part of the Host ID where subnet mask bits are 1
specifies a different physical network.

The new configuration is:

A second network with Hosts D and E was added. Gateway G2 connects
Network 2.1 with Network 2.2.

Hosts D and E will use Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on
Network 2.2.

Hosts B and C will use Gateway G to communicate with hosts not on
Network 2.1.

When B is communicating with D, G (the configured Gateway for B) will route
the data from B to D through G2.

Use the
Rockwell Automation
BootP/DHCP Utility

The Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility is a standalone program that
incorporates the functionality of standard BootP software with a user friendly
graphical interface. It is located in the Utility directory on the RSLogix 5000
software installation CD. The adapter must have DHCP enabled (factory default
and the network address switches set to an invalid value) to use the utility.

To configure your adapter using the BootP utility, perform the following steps:
