Routing with mp 277

I have an Siemens MP277 connected to a CPU314 with Lean Ethernet card. My labtop is connected to the MP277 by the mpi-port. I don'n succeed in downloading to the CPU314 using the routing function of MPI to ethernet of the MP277. In my project the routing path is activated and show a yellow arrow on the object of my PG/PC.
Is there something wrong or is this kind of routing not possible?
Thanks.

It is "this kind of routing not possible" that is correct.

For routing to a panel to work, the intial step from the PC and the final step to the panel has to be via MPI or DP, not ethernet.

There was someone in a thread a year a go or so who claimed that he had done routing via ethernet to a panel. But when I asked about the exact details, he never answered back.

Can I conclude from this that an MP277 can not function as a router? There is only an mpi/dp port and an ethernet port. The way I tried it was pg to mpi-port, plc to ethernet port, and I could not reach the plc. I did not try the pg to ethernet port, plc to mpi-port, but I suppose that also does not work. Althoug if you look in hardware config Step 7 in the rack of the HMI to the object of the mpi-dp port it says it supports routing (properaties). Before that test I was doing some tests with WinAC on the MP 277. In that case routing worked from pg mpi to plc on ethernet. Thats why I am surprised it does not work for the mp without WinAc

It just dawned on me, why in the world do you use MPI to connect to the MP277 when both your laptop, the PLC and MP277 all have ethernet ????

I was doing some tests, it is not a life plant or machine.
