Configure Fiber Security
Fiber security enables the following
CIP Security™
properties between partner 1756-RM3 modules:- Device Identity and Authentication
- Data Integrity and Authentication
IMPORTANT:
Fiber security is enabled by default and can cause slower system performance, such as degraded scan time and qualification time. However, the switchover time is not affected.
To avoid impact to system performance, you can disable the feature.
Fiber security cannot be disabled or re-enabled if the redundancy system is in Protection Mode. To exit Protection Mode, disqualify the secondary chassis by using the Disqualify Secondary command on the Synchronization tab of the secondary redundancy module. For more information, see Protection Mode.
Whenever the fiber security configuration is changed, an event is logged in the event log.
The fiber security configuration applies only between the partner 1756-RM3 modules and is
independent of security configurations from
