Details the PROFINET protocol, an industrial Ethernet standard used for automation control and real-time communication. This chapter guides users through device roles, GSD file integration, and configuration procedures for Cisco IE9300 switches to ensure seamless deployment within industrial automation environments.
PROFINET protocol
Explains how the PROFINET protocol serves as an open industrial Ethernet standard for automation control, supporting scalable communication and modular frameworks for distributed automation applications.
Restrictions to configure PROFINET
Consider these restrictions when configuring the isco IOS XE IE9300 Rugged Series Switches.
Supported switch models
Lists the restrictions and guidelines for configuring PROFINET on Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches.
PROFINET device roles
Explains the different device roles in a PROFINET I/O system, including controllers, supervisors, and devices, and describes how they interact to manage automation and data exchange.
PROFINET device data exchange
This topic explains how PROFINET devices exchange data after device discovery, including the use of GSD files and configuration attributes for switches and ports.
PROFINET configuration
Provides configuration methods for PROFINET using either PROFINET software on the I/O supervisor or Cisco IOS software for basic switch configuration.
PROFINET Netload-3 Robustness
Learn how automatic traffic policing and source blocking protect PROFINET communication during abnormal network-load conditions.
VLAN 0 priority tagging
Configure PROFINET settings to enable seamless communication in industrial automation networks. This task explains how to activate PROFINET on a switch by enabling the default VLAN 1 configuration.
Prepare and assign a switch for PROFINET network integration
Configure and assign switches with the correct GSD file to ensure seamless integration into a PROFINET network using TIA Portal or STEP7. This process helps guarantee compatibility and readiness for network deployment.
Configure a switch for PROFINET integration using STEP7 or TIA
Configure a switch for integration into a PROFINET network using STEP7 or the TIA portal. This task enables communication between the switch and the PLC for seamless device discovery and assignment.
Enable PROFINET
Configure PROFINET on the switch to enable industrial protocol support and optimize device communication. This task ensures proper setup of device ID, VLAN, and port access for PROFINET operation.
Profinet connection configuration
Lists the CLI configurations that are automatically applied and saved when a Profinet connection or session is established.
Prevent default gateway and CDP loss during reloads and upgrades
Configure Cisco IE switches to prevent the loss of default gateway and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) configurations during reloads and upgrades on Cisco IOS XE 17.x.
Gateway IP address configuration scenarios
Understand how PROFINET controllers, the CLI, and management applications affect IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configuration across reloads and upgrades.
PROFINET monitoring and maintenance
Lists commands for displaying PROFINET configuration and status information.
PROFINET troubleshooting
Lists the debug commands and methods for troubleshooting PROFINET configuration issues.
Technical assistance
Lists technical support resources and access information.
Feature history for PROFINET configuration
Identify the Cisco IOS XE releases that introduced VLAN 0 priority tagging and PROFINET Netload-3 Robustness.
