9.13 Attachment to Industrial Ethernet networks
Since the CP forwards frames from and to private and public IP addresses via its
two interfaces, you should not connect the CP to a public network.
9.14 Use of the CP as IP router
The CP can be used to forward IP messages from a local area network to a
higher−level network and vice versa. The CP then controls access permission
according to the configuration.
An extensive network with other IP subnets can then be connected to one of the
Ethernet interfaces. To achieve this, an external router can be configured on this
interface that handles forwarding to nodes that are not directly reachable. In this
case, enter the IP address of this router in “Default Router” for the appropriate
interface in HW Config.
Notice
The use of the CP as a universal router between two extended networks with
further subnets is not supported.
