Port properties

Devices have logical ports that are associated with IP addresses, ports, and protocols.
Some of the following properties may be read-only for:
  • The devices added to the Onboarding Area by Automatic Policy Deployment.
  • The devices that are not added to a secure zone.

Device

This area displays information about the device on which the port is present.
Property
Description
Device name
The name of the device. Select next to the device name to open the device properties.
Device description
Read-only information that describes the device function.
Device catalog number
Read-only information that provides the catalog number of the device.
For more information, see Device properties.

General

Use this area to configure the port on the device.
Property
Description
Port Name
The name of the port.
Description
The optional description for the port.
EtherNet Driver name
A dropdown list of the available EtherNet drivers used for communication.
This property is only available for the devices that support
CIP Security
. The default name is
Ethernet
.
If the list does not contain a driver, add the driver with
FactoryTalk® Linx
.
Redundancy Status
Shows the redundancy status.
If available, select
Validate redundancy
 to validate the redundancy status for the device.
IP Address
The IP address of the Ethernet port, for example:
10.88.11.11
You cannot edit the IP address if you:
  • Deployed the security policy to the device.
  • Moved a device from the Onboarding Area to the policy model.
If the
Clear configuration for previous IP Address
 dialog appears, either:
  • Select
    CLEAR CONFIGURATION
     if the previous IP address is assigned to a different device. The IP address and the device name are shown grayed-out and struck through in the
    Devices
     table These devices are removed from the policy model at the next deployment.
  • Select
    DON'T CLEAR CONFIGURATION
     if the previous IP address is not in use.
    IMPORTANT: Changing the IP Address of a
    CIP Security
     Capable device in a
    CIP Security
     enabled zone after deployment requires that the security configuration be cleared for the previous address if that IP address is in use.
Port Proxied
Appears only for proxy devices. Shows the name and the IP address of the device secured by this proxy device.
Select the pencil icon next to the device name to open the port properties.

 capable and placed in a zone using the certificate authentication method, the HTTP Port usage can be disabled.
When viewing the device list, the Disabled TCP Port column reflects whether HTTP port 80 has been disabled.
This functionality applies only to
CIP Security
 capable devices.

Inbound CIP Bridging
Allow all traffic
Allows bridging of secure and trusted IP traffic from the EtherNet/IP interface to backplane and other physical ports (for example: Ethernet, USB).
TIP: Physical ports support is dependent on the hardware platform.
Allow secure traffic
Allows bridging of only secure traffic from the secured EtherNet/IP interface to backplane and other physical ports (for example: Ethernet, USB).
TIP: Physical ports support is dependent on the hardware platform.
Block all traffic
Blocks bridging of any traffic from the secured EtherNet/IP interface.
Outbound CIP Bridging
Chassis size
Displays the number of slots in a chassis. The default number of slots for manually added devices is 10. Change this value to reflect the chassis capacity.
Slot
