X-COM 01 4 Start-up

ARP Aging Time [s] A processor or COM module stores the MAC addresses of the
communication partners in a MAC/IP address assignment table
(ARP cache).
If in a period of 1x....2x ARP Aging Time ...
 ... messages of the communication are received, the MAC
address remains stored in the ARP cache.
 ... no messages of the communication partner are received, the
MAC address is erased from the ARP cache.

The typical value for the ARP Aging Time in a local network
ranges from 5...300 s.
The user cannot read the contents of the ARP cache.

Range of values: 1...3600 s

Default value: 60 s

Note:
If routers or gateways are used, the user must adjust (increase)
the ARP Aging Time due to the additional time required for two-
way transmission.
If the ARP Aging Time is too low, the MAC address of the
communication partner is erased from the ARP cache, the
communication is delayed or interrupted. For an efficient
performance, the ARP aging time value must be less than the
receive timeout set for the protocols in use.
MAC Learning MAC Learning and ARP Aging Time are used to set how quick the
Ethernet switch should learn the MAC address.

The following settings are possible:

 This ensures that data packets cannot be intentionally or
unintentionally forwarded to external network subscribers (ARP
spoofing). Conservative (recommended):
If the ARP cache already contains MAC addresses of
communication partners, these are locked and cannot be
replaced by other MAC addresses for at least one ARP Aging
Time and a maximum of two ARP Aging Time periods. This
encsures that data packets cannot be intentionally or
unintentionally forwarded to external network subscribers (ARP
spoofing).
 Tolerant:
When a message is received, the IP address contained in the
message is compared to the data in the ARP cache and the
MAC address stored in the ARP cache is immediately
overwritten with the MAC address from the message.
The tolerant setting must be used if the availability of
communication is more important than the authorized access to
the controller.
Default setting: Conservative
IP Forwarding Function is not supported, must be deactivated.
Default setting: Deactivated

ICMP Mode The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) allows the higher
protocol layers to detect error states on the network layer and
optimize the transmission of data packets.
Message types of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
supported by the processor module:
 No ICMP Responses
All the ICMP commands are deactivated. This ensures a high
degree of safety against potential sabotage that might occur
over the network.
 Echo Response
If Echo Response is activated, the node responds to a ping
command. It is thus possible to determine if a node can be
reached. Safety is still high.
 Host Unreachable
Not important for the user. Only used for testing at the
manufacturer's facility.
 All Implemented ICMP Responses
All ICMP commands are activated. This allows a more detailed
diagnosis of network malfunctions.
Default setting: Echo Response

VLAN (Port-Based VLAN)

For configuring the use of port-based VLAN.

Should VLAN be supported, port-based VLAN should be off to enable each port to
i communicate with the other switch ports.

For each port on one switch, the user can define which other ports of the switch received
Ethernet frames may be sent to.
The table in the VLAN tab contains entries through which the connection between two ports can
be set as active or inactive.
Default setting: All connection between ports active

LLDP
With LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol), information such as MAC address, device name,
port number is sent per multicast in periodic intervals via the own device and is received from
the neighboring devices.
LLDP uses the following values depending on whether PROFINET is configured on the
communication module:
PROFINET on the COM module ChassisID TTL (Time to Live)
Used Device name 20 s
Not used MAC address 120 s
Table 19: Values for LLDP

The processor and communication modules support LLDP on the Eth1, Eth2, Eth3 and Eth4
ports.
The following parameters define how a given port should work:
Off LLDP is disabled on this port.
Send LLDP sends LLDP Ethernet frames, received
LLDP Ethernet frames are deleted without being
processed.
Receive LLDP sends no LLDP Ethernet frames, but
received LLDP Ethernet frames are processed.
Send/Receive LLDP sends and processes received LLDP
Ethernet frames.
Default setting: Send/Receive

5 Operation X-COM 01

5 Operation
The module runs within a HIMax base plate and does not require any specific monitoring.

5.1 Handling
Direct handling of the module is not foreseen.
The module is operated from within the PADT. For more details, refer to the SILworX
documentation.

5.2 Diagnosis
LEDs on the front side of the module indicate the module state, see Chapter 3.4.3.
The diagnostic history of the module can also be read using SILworX.

If a module is plugged in to a base plate, it generates diagnostic messages during its

i initialization phase indicating faults such as incorrect voltage values.
These messages only indicate a module fault if they occur after the system starts operation.
