RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Ethernet and Network Settings

The RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is essentially a two-port industrial computer. When the
RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is inserted into a chassis, the first internal Ethernet port is
activated on the connector that carries power to to the RUGGEDCOM APE1808. The
second RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Ethernet port is available for use on the faceplate of
the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 line module.
To the RX15xx device, the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 internal Ethernet port appears like
any other Gigabit-capable switched or routed port.
For examples of how the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 can be configured in a RX15xx de-
vice, refer to
"Example: RX15xx Services and WAN Networking (Page

Example: Networking in Factory Default Conditions

The following figure illustrates how routing and switching would work when the
RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is used in a RUGGEDCOM RX15xx chassis with a four-port Eth-
ernet module in LM2.
Figure 1.3
In the factory default condition, all Ethernet interfaces on the RUGGEDCOM RX15xx
router (including the internal port of the RUGGEDCOM APE1808) are created as
switched ports in the default VLAN. When DHCP is configured in RUGGEDCOM ROX II,
an IPv4 subnet and a gateway IP are automatically assigned to this VLAN.
In RUGGEDCOM ROX II, the default conditions for this VLAN are to use PVID 1 and to
operate untagged. The factory default creates the switch group (switch.0001) for de-
vices on this VLAN and creates a virtual interface 192.168.0.2/24 for devices (such as
the RUGGEDCOM APE1808) in switch.0001 to reach services on the control module
and network management.
In this situation, the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 can be assigned an unused IP address in
subnet 192.168.0.0/24 and communicate with other devices in VLAN1 at a bridging
and routing level. In
ETH0 interface has been assigned an address of 192.168.0.1, either manually by the
RUGGEDCOM APE1808
