Page 10: Ethernet Port Behavior (N1 & N2)
Installation 3.3.1 Ethernet Port Behavior (N1 & N2) The N1 and N2 Ethernet ports share an Ethernet stack. Therefore, the IP addresses of N1 and N2 must be on separate subnets and must be connected to separate networks. There is only 1 Gateway IP Address in the FS-B35XX. This means that when using both N1 and N2 Ethernet ports simultaneously, only 1 Ethernet port can connect to a larger network through the Gateway IP Address while the other is limited to a local network. -
