Assignment of the MAC addresses
The CPU 1511-1 PN has a PROFINET interface with two ports. The PROFINET interface itself
has a MAC address, and each of the two PROFINET ports has its own MAC address. The
CPU 1511-1 PN therefore has three MAC addresses in total.
The MAC addresses of the PROFINET ports are needed for the LLDP protocol, for example for
the neighborhood discovery function.
The number range of the MAC addresses is sequential. The first and last MAC address are
lasered on the rating plate on the right side of each CPU 1511-1 PN.
The table below shows how the MAC addresses are assigned.
