I am planning a new system and want to use a CompactLogix 5370 L2 with a PanelView Plus 7, and I plan to use ethernet communications between the two. Is an ethernet switch required to connect these components together? If not, will I be able to communicate with the PVP 7 if I connect my laptop to the other ethernet port of the CompactLogix? Do the dual ethernet ports of the CompactLogix function like an ethernet switch?
