    • Stratix 4300 routers must be connected to the internet through its WAN port. Stratix 4300 routers do not enable any service through that port and only need an outgoing connection through to the configured outgoing port (TCP port 443, 80, or 5935). An additional firewall can provide more protection.

    Without NAT or Routing there are no North or South data flows through the Stratix 4300. East or West data flow (for example from the HMI to the Safety Controller) within the cell/area zone occurs in the embedded switch of the Stratix 4300.
  • Page 15 Chapter 1 Remote Access Architecture The following architecture is highlighting the use of the Stratix 4300 for remote access purposes and NAT/Routing purposes. The Stratix 4300 provides remote access to each individual cell/area zone. If there is a need for peer-to- peer or machine-to-machine communication, the Stratix 4300 NAT or Routing features can be configured to allow successful communication.
  • Page 16 Chapter 1 Remote Access Architecture The following architecture is highlighting the use of the Stratix 4300 for remote access purposes. The switch optionally provides some NAT/Routing services for the Cell/Area Zone for LAN to WAN communication. Without NAT or Routing there are no North/South data flows. Most other data flows in the cell occur at the industrial Ethernet switch.
  • Page 17 Stratix 4300. The VLAN required for Internet access or WAN must be extended into the cell/area zone IES to provide. This is to verify that the Stratix 4300 has Internet access for remote access.
  • Page 18 Stratix 4300 WAN connection. The WAN is connected directly to distribution to ease routing requirements. Any cloud or remote access related traffic from the Stratix 4300 goes directly to the distribution switch. Generally, the distribution switch is the central router for the industrial architecture before the Core routes traffic.

    The Stratix 4300® Router can be configured using an Ethernet connection to the device. Connect Via Ethernet 1. Login with the default IP address to the device in the Stratix 4300 Device Manager. The default IP address and LAN ports are set to 192.168.0.1. WAN ports are set to request an address via DHCP The default user name and password are both “admin”.
  • Page 22 The password change prompts the device to restart. 3. To apply the changes, restart your device. After your device reboots, the device manager opens on the general tab. From this point, you can explore options the Device Manager has. Rockwell Automation Publication 1783-UM014A-EN-P - October 2021...
