Configure the Module for Your
EtherNet/IP Network
Introduction
Before using the modules in an EtherNet/IP network, you need to configure
them with an IP address, subnet mask, and optional Gateway address. This
chapter describes these configuration requirements and the procedures for
providing them. Here are the ways you can do this:
• Use the Rockwell Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or
greater, that ships with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software. You can also
use this utility to reconfigure a device whose IP address must be changed.
• Use a third party DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
• Use the Network Address switches.
• Have your network administrator configure the module via the network
server.
See the table for a list of where to find specific information in this chapter.
Configuration
Requirements
Before you can use your module, you must configure its IP address, its subnet
mask, and optionally, gateway address. You have the option to use the Rockwell
Automation BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, to perform the
configuration. You also have the option to use a DHCP server or the network
address switches to configure these parameters.
