Description

2.1 Product characteristics

Properties of the IE switches

● The Ethernet interfaces support the following modes:

– 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps both in full and half duplex

– 1000 Mbps full duplex

– Autocrossing

– Autopolarity

● Redundancy protocols Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) This means part of a network can be connected redundantly to a higher-level company network. The reconfiguration time of the network is in the seconds range and therefore takes longer than the ring redundancy method.

● Virtual networks (VLAN) To structure Industrial Ethernet networks with a fast growing number of nodes, a physical network can be divided into several virtual subnets. Port-based, protocol-based and subnetbased VLANs are available.

Layer 3 functions

● Load limitation when using multicast protocols, for example video transmission By learning the multicast sources and destinations (IGMP snooping, IGMP querier), the IE switches can filter multicast data traffic and limit the load in the network. Multicast and broadcast data traffic can be limited.

● Time-of-day synchronization Diagnostics messages (log table entries, e-mails) are given a time stamp. The local time is uniform throughout the network thanks to synchronization with a SICLOCK time transmitter or SNTP/NTP/PTP server and therefore makes the identification of diagnostics messages of several devices easier.

● Link aggregation (IEEE 802.1AX) for bundling ports

● Quality of Service for classification of the network traffic is according to COS (Class of Service - IEEE 802.11Q) and DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point - RFC 2474)

The following functions are only available on devices with routing functions:

● Static routing

● OSPF / OSPFv3

● VRRP / VRRPv3

● RIP / RIPng

Description

2.1 Product characteristics

● IGMP

● PIM

● MSDP

There are devices that natively support all routing functions. You will find the order numbers in the operating instructions of the devices.

On the devices that only support layer 2, you can enable the routing functions with a KEYPLUG.

Naming interfaces

Interface names with SCALANCE XM-400

● Interfaces of the basic device The interfaces of the basic device SCALANCE XM-400 are called module 1.

● Interfaces of extenders The port extenders are called module 2 and module 3 starting from the basic device. The number of port extenders depends on the number of ports of the basic device. The extender function is called module 0.

Combo ports

Interface names with SCALANCE XR-500

● Permanently integrated Interfaces The interfaces permanently installed in the SCALANCE XR-500 are identified with module

● Interfaces of modules The slots for modules are called module 1 followed by numbers. The numbering range depends on the hardware configuration. The numbering is fixed and does not depend on the number of modules being used. Each module has 4 ports numbered 1 to 4.

Combo port is the name for two communication ports. A combo port has the two following plugin options:

● a fixed RJ-45 port

● an SFP transceiver slot that can be equipped individually

Of these two ports, only one can ever be active.

You can set the active port on the WBM page "System > Ports > Configuration"with the CLI command media-type.

2.2 Requirements for installation and operation

Requirements for installation and operation of the IE switches

A PG/PC with a network connection must be available in order to configure the IE switches. If no DHCP server is available, a PG/PC on which the Primary Setup Tool (PST) is installed is necessary for the initial assignment of an IP address to the IE switches. For the other configuration settings, a PG/PC with Telnet or an Internet browser is necessary.

Serial interface The IE switches have a serial interface. An IP address is unnecessary to be able to access

the device via the serial interface. A serial cable ships with the products.

Set the following parameters for the connection:

● Bits per second: 115200

● Data bits: 8

● Parity: None

● Stop bits: 1

Description

2.3 C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG

● Flow control: None

2.3 C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG

Configuration information on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG

The C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new device when a device is replaced.

NOTICE

Do not remove or insert a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG during operation!

A C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG may only be removed or inserted when the device is turned off. The device regularly checks whether or not a KEY-PLUG is present. If it is detected that the KEY-PLUG was removed, there is a restart. If a valid KEY-PLUG was inserted in the device, the device changes to a defined error state following the restart.

When the new device starts up with the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG, it then continues automatically with exactly the same configuration as the old device. One exception to this can be the IP configuration if it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.

SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Web Based Management (WBM) Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12 17

Description

2.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses.

Note

In terms of the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG, the SCALANCE devices work in two modes:

● Without C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no CPLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted.

● With C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG The configuration stored on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is displayed over the user interfaces. If changes are made to the configuration, the device stores the configuration directly on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG and in the internal memory. This mode is active as soon as a CPLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted. When the device is started with a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG inserted, the device starts up with the configuration data on the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG.

Note Incompatibility with previous versions with C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG inserted

During the installation of a previous version of the firmware, the configuration data can be lost. In this case, the device starts up with the factory settings after the firmware has been installed. In this situation, if a C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG is inserted in the device, following the restart, this has the status "Not Accepted" since the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG still has the configuration data of the previous more up-to-date firmware. This allows you to return to the previous, more upto-date firmware without any loss of configuration data. If the original configuration on the CPLUG / KEY-PLUG is no longer required, the C-PLUG / KEY-PLUG can be deleted or rewritten manually.

License information on the KEY-PLUG In addition to the configuration, the KEY-PLUG also contains a license that allows the use of layer 3 functions.

2.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

General

"Power over Ethernet" (PoE) is a power supply technique for network components according to IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at. The power is supplied over the Ethernet cables that connect the individual network components together. This makes an additional power cable unnecessary. PoE can be used with all PoE-compliant network components that have a maximum power consumption of max. 25.50 W.

SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Web Based Management (WBM)

18 Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12

Cable used for the power supply

● Alternative A (redundant wires)

In Fast Ethernet, the wire pairs 1, 2 and 3, 6 are used to transfer data. Pairs 4, 5 and 7, 8 are then used to supply power. If there are only four wires available, the voltage is modulated onto the wires 1, 2 and 3, 6 (see variant 2). This alternative is suitable for a data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps. This type of power supply is not suitable for 1 Gbps since with gigabit all eight wires are used for data transfer.

● Alternative B (phantom power)

With phantom power, the power is supplied over the pairs that are used for data transfer, in other words, all eight (1 Gbps) or four (10/100 Mbps) wires are used both for the data transfer and the power supply.

A PoE-compliant end device must support both alternative A and alternative B over redundant wires. A switch with PoE capability can supply the end device either using

● alternative A or

● Alternative B or

● alternative A and alternative B.

Description

2.4 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Endspan

Midspan

Note

The SCALANCE PE408PoE extender supports alternative B.

With endspan, the power is supplied via a switch that can reach a device over an Ethernet cable. The switch must be capable of PoE, for example a SCALANCE X108PoE, SCALANCE X308-2M PoE, all SCALANCE XM400 switches with PE408PoE, SCALANCE XR552‑12M.

Midspan is used when the switch is not PoE-compliant. The power is supplied by an additional device between the switch and end device. In this case, only data rates of 10/100 Mbps can be achieved because the power is supplied on redundant wires.

A Siemens power insert can also be used as the interface for the power input. Since a power insert supports a power supply of 24 VDC, it does not conform with IEEE 802.3af or IEEE

802.3at. The following restrictions relating to the use of power inserts should be noted:

WARNING

Operate the power insert only when the following conditions apply:

● with extra low voltages SELV, PELV complying with IEC 60364-4-41

● in USA/CAN with power supplies complying with NEC class 2

● in USA/CAN, the cabling must meet the requirements of NEC/CEC

● Current load maximum 0.5 A

Class CIDR

An IP address consists of 4 bytes. Each byte is represented in decimal, with a dot separating it from the previous one. This results in the following structure, where XXX stands for a number between 0 and 255:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

The IP address is made up of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. This allows different subnets to be created. Depending on the bytes of the IP address used as the network ID and those used for the host ID, the IP address can be assigned to a specific address class.

Subnet mask

The bits of the host ID can be used to create subnets. The leading bits represent the address of the subnet and the remaining bits the address of the host in the subnet.

A subnet is defined by the subnet mask. The structure of the subnet mask corresponds to that of an IP address. If a "1" is used at a bit position in the subnet mask, the bit belongs to the corresponding position in the IP address of the subnet address, otherwise to the address of the computer.

Example of a class B network:

The standard subnet address for class B networks is 255.255.0.0; in other words, the last two bytes are available for defining a subnet. If 16 subnets must be defined, the third byte of the subnet address must be set to 11110000 (binary notation). In this case, this results in the subnet mask 255.255.240.0.

To find out whether two IP addresses belong to the same subnet, the two IP addresses and the subnet mask are ANDed bit by bit. If both logic operations have the save result, both IP addresses belong to the same subnet, for example, 141.120.246.210 and 141.120.252.108.

IP addresses

3.2 IPv4 address

Outside the local area network, the distinction between network ID and host ID is of no significance, in this case packets are delivered based on the entire IP address.

Note

In the bit representation of the subnet mask, the "ones" must be set left-justified; in other words, there must be no "zeros" between the "ones".

3.2.2 Initial assignment of an IPv4 address

Configuration options

An initial IP address for an IE switch cannot be assigned using Web Based Management (WBM) because this configuration tool can only be used if an IP address already exists.

The following options are available to assign an IP address to an unconfigured device:

● DHCP (default)

● Primary Setup Tool (PST)

– To be able to assign an IP address to the IE switch with the PST, it must be possible to

reach the device via Ethernet.

– You will find the PST on the Internet pages of Siemens Industry Online Support under

the entry ID 19440762 (

19440762).

– For further information about assigning the IP address with the PST, refer to the

documentation "Primary Setup Tool (PST)".

● STEP7 In STEP 7, you can configure the topology, the device name and the IP address. If you connect an unconfigured IE switch to the controller, the controller assigns the configured device name and the IP address to the IE switch automatically.

– STEP 7 as of V5.5 SP4

For further information on the assignment of the IP address using STEP 7 refer to the documentation "Configuring Hardware and Connections with STEP 7", in the section "Steps For Configuring a PROFINET IO System".

– STEP 7 Basic as of V12 SP1 or STEP 7 Professional as of V12 SP1

For further information on assigning the IP address using STEP 7 (as of V12 SP1), refer to the online help "Information system", section "Addressing PROFINET devices".

● CLI via the serial interface For further information on assigning the IP address using the CLI, refer to the documentation "SCALANCE XM-400/XR-500 Command Line Interface".

For further information on assigning the IP address using NCM PC, refer to the documentation "Commissioning PC stations - Manual and Quick Start", in the section "Creating a PROFINET IO system".

● RUGGEDCOM EXPLORER

With the RUGGEDCOM EXPLORER you can recognize devices in a network and make the following basic settings:

– IP Address

– Subnet Mask

– Default Gateway

– System Name

– Device Location

– System Contact

The RUGGEDCOM EXPLORER can run on every LAN-based MS Windows-PC. To be able to use the RUGGEDCOM EXPLORER, RCDP (RUGGEDCOM Discovery Protocol) must be enabled on the device. You will find more information on the RUGGEDCOM EXPLORER here:

– On the Internet pages of Siemens Industry Online Support (https://

support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/ps/15391/man)

Note

When the product ships and following "Restore Factory Defaults and Restart", DHCP is enabled. If a DHCP server is available in the local area network, and this responds to the DHCP request of an IE switch, the IP address, subnet mask and gateway are assigned automatically when the device first starts up.

3.2.3 Address assignment with DHCP

Properties of DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a method for automatic assignment of IP addresses. It has the following characteristics:

● DHCP can be used both when starting up a device and during ongoing operation.

● The assigned IP address remains valid only for a limited time known as the lease time.

When half the period of validity has elapsed. the DHCP client can extend the period of the assigned IPv4 address. When the entire time has elapsed, the DHCP client needs to request a new IPv4 address.

IP addresses

3.3 IPv6 addresses

● There is normally no fixed address assignment; in other words, when a client requests an IP address again, it normally receives a different address from the previous address. It is possible to configure the DHCP server so that the DHCP client always receives the same fixed address in response to its request. The parameter with which the DHCP client is identified for the fixed address assignment is set on the DHCP client. The address can be assigned via the MAC address, the DHCP client ID, PROFINET device name or the device name. You configure the parameter in "System > DHCP Client (Page 173)".

● The following DHCP options are supported:

– DHCP option 3: Assignment of a router address

– DHCP option 6: Assignment of a DNS server address

– DHCP option 66: Assignment of a dynamic TFTP server name

– DHCP option 67: Assignment of a dynamic boot file name

– DHCP option 82: Assignment of IP addresses depending on the device index, switch

port, the VLAN ID or user-defined identification values of the DHCP relay agent.

Note

DHCP uses a mechanism with which the IP address is assigned for only a short time (lease time). If the device does not reach the DHCP server with a new request on expiry of the lease time, the assigned IP address, the subnet mask and the gateway continue to be used.

The device therefore remains accessible under the last assigned IP address even without a DHCP server. This is not the standard behavior of office devices but is necessary for problem-free operation of the plant.

3.3 IPv6 addresses

3.3.1 IPv6 terms

Network node

A network node is a device that is connected to one or more networks via one or more interfaces.

Router

A network node that forwards IPv6 packets.

Host

A network node that represents an end point for IPv6 communication relations.

Link

A link is, according to IPv6 terminology, a direct layer 3 connection within an IPv6 network.

Neighbor

Two network nodes are called neighbors when they are located on the same link.

IPv6 interface

26 Configuration Manual, 05/2017, C79000-G8976-C248-12

IP addresses

3.3 IPv6 addresses

Physical or logical interface on which IPv6 is activated.

Path MTU

Maximum permitted packet size on a path from a sender to a recipient.

Path MTU discovery

Mechanism for determining the maximum permitted packet size along the entire path from a sender to a recipient.

LLA

Link local address FE80::/10

As soon as IPv6 is activated on the interface, a link local address is formed automatically. Can only be reached by nodes located on the same link.

ULA

Unique Local Address

Defined in RFC 4193. Via this address, the IPv6 interface can be reached in the LAN.

GUA

Global Unicast Address Via this address, the IPv6 interface can be reached, e.g. via the Internet.

Interface ID

The interface ID is formed with the EUI-64 method or manually.

EUI-64

Extended Unique Identifier (RFC 4291); method for forming the interface ID. In Ethernet, the interface ID is formed from the MAC address of the interface. Divides the MAC address into the manufacturer-specific part (OUI) and the network-specific part (NIC) and inserts FFFE between the two parts.

Example:

MAC address = AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF

OUI = AA:BB:CC

NIC = DD:EE:FF

EUI-64 = OUI + FFFE + NIC = AA:BB:CC:FF:FE:DD:EE:FF

Scope

Defines the range of the IPv6 address.

3.3.2 Structure of an IPv6 address

IPv6 address format - notation

IPv6 addresses consist of 8 fields each with four-character hexadecimal numbers (128 bits in total). The fields are separated by a colon.

Example:

fd00:0000:0000:ffff:02d1:7d01:0000:8f21

Rules / simplifications:

● If one or more fields have the value 0, a shortened notation is possible. The address fd00:0000:0000:ffff:02d1:7d01:0000:8f21 can also be shortened and written as follows: fd00::ffff:02d1:7d01:0000:8f21 To ensure uniqueness, this shortened form can only be used once within the entire address.

● Leading zeros within a field can be omitted. The address fd00:0000:0000:ffff:02d1:7d01:0000:8f21 can also be shortened and written as follows: fd00::ffff:2d1:7d01:0000:8f21

● Decimal notation with periods The last 2 fields or 4 bytes can be written in the normal decimal notation with periods. Example: The IPv6 address fd00::ffff.125.1.0.1 is equivalent to fd00::ffff:7d01:1

Structure of the IPv6 address

The IPv6 protocol distinguishes three types of address: Unicast , anycast and multicast. The following section describes the structure of the global unicast addresses.

IPv6 prefix Suffix Global prefix: n bits Assigned address

range

The prefix for the link local address is always fe80:0000:0000:0000. The prefix is shortened and noted as follows: fe80::

IPv6 prefix

Specified in: RFC 4291

The IPv6 prefix represents the subnet identifier.

Subnet ID m bits Description of the location, also

subnet prefix or subnet

Interface ID 128 - n - m bits Unique assignment of the host in the net‐

work. The ID is generated from the MAC address.

Prefixes and IPv6 addresses are specified in the same way as with the CIDR notation (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) for IPv4.
