Note
Requirement for port statistics
You can read out port statistics using PROFINET diagnostics and via SNMP.
Enable the "LLDP" check box to activate the communication log. "LLDP" is a protocol for
monitoring the neighborhood.
Select the "DCP read only" check box if you want to ensure that no access to the
communication module takes place via DCP. This setting prevents that the parameters of the
communication module can be changed using SINEC PNI, for example.
SNMP
In the "SNMP" area, you can enable/disable the network protocol. "SNMP" is a protocol for
monitoring network components.
This setting is activated at the factory. If you do not use the protocol, we recommend that
you disable the setting for security reasons.
