Assignment of the MAC addresses
The CPU 1515-2 PN has two PROFINET interfaces, with the first interface having two ports.
The PROFINET interfaces each have a MAC address, and each of the PROFINET ports has
its own MAC address. The CPU 1515-2 PN therefore has five 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 1515-2 PN.
The table below shows how the MAC addresses are assigned.
