This file shall give additional information on how to set up a network

     6

environment with Ethernet-over-EtherCAT devices.

     7

     8

A virtual network interface will appear for every EoE-capable slave. The

     9

interface naming scheme is eoeXsY, where X is the master index and Y is the

    10

slave's ring position. Please provide a network configuration file for any of

    11

these interfaces. On SUSE systems, these can look like the following:

    12

    13

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eoe0s14:

    14

IPADDRESS=10.0.0.14/8

    15

STARTMODE=auto

    16

    17

This will tell the ifupd to configure and open the device after it appears.

    18

    19

If the interfaces shall be part of a network bridge, the IPADDRESS line is not

    20

necessary. Instead, copy the file script/ifup-eoe.sh to your systems if-up.d

    21

directory (on SUSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d), and customize the

    22

included variables.
