Hi,
I am using AM2432 with the Industrial SDK 11.00.00.08.
I have a question about managing MAC addresses with the Profinet protocol.
I have seen that starting from the MAC address given, the stack generates two other addresses by adding +1 and +2 to this address. So, for example, with a MAC address AC:D3:64:00:00:00, the ports will use AC:D3:64:00:00:01 and AC:D3:64:00:00:02.
Is it correct to say that each device uses three MAC addresses in total?
So, should I consider this when choosing the addresses with two devices in the same network? For example, if Device1 with address AC:D3:64:00:00:00 (with port MAC addresses AC:D3:64:00:00:01 and AC:D3:64:00:00:02) and Device2 AC:D3:64:00:00:01 (with port MAC addresses AC:D3:64:00:00:02 and AC:D3:64:00:00:03), could there be any address conflict?
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Andrea
