Introduction
Before using the 1732E EtherNet/IP ArmorBlock Supporting Sequence of
Events in an EtherNet/IP network, configure it with an IP address, subnet
mask, and optional Gateway address. This chapter describes these
configuration requirements and the procedures for providing them. Here are
the ways you can do this:
•
Use the Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, that ships
with RSLogix 5000 or RSLinx software. You can also use this utility to
reconfigure a device whose IP address must be changed.
•
Use a third party DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
•
Use the Network Address switches.
•
Have your network administrator configure the module via the network
server.
See the table for a list of where to find specific information in this chapter.

mask, and optionally, gateway address. You have the option to use the
Rockwell BootP/DHCP utility, version 2.3 or greater, to perform the
configuration. You also have the option to use a DHCP server or the network
address switches to configure these parameters.
