i am setting up a network with a stratix 8000 and an 8300, im using the 8300 just as a router for the devices connected to the 8000, this link is over fibre utilising both the ports on each, i have spent all day today trying to get the devices which are connected into the 8000 to communicate but im not seeing anything, from the 8000 i have a cat5 which plugs into a 5700 located in the electrical panels, at present i have put this connection straight into an L33ER to get communicating before i connect in the 5700.
to just go over the setup, the IP address of the 8300 and 8000 are 10.10.5.10, 10.10.5.12 respectively. the smartports on the fiber are set for switch for automation and are all on the default VLAN 1.
in the 8300 i have setup an extra VLAN 636 under the VLAN tab and then on the IP ADDRESSES tab i have given it an IP of 10.6.36.1 (the automation devices on this VLAN range from 10.6.36.1-10.6.36.25)
in the 8000 on the IP ADDRESSES tab i have setup a VLAN 636 with the IP address of 10.6.36.1, i have setup the port Fa1/6 as automation device and the access VLAN as 636 to match that in the 8300. on the EXPRESS SETUP tab i try to enter a default gateway of 10.10.5.10 to match the IP address of the router but when i do this and submit it, it doesnt take it and comes up as undefined in the box.
i have screen shots for the 8300 and 8000, could somebody maybe advice as to why i can't seem to see the PLC in RSLinx, does it matter which Ethernet driver is used for this?
