Design the System 39
Worksheet for IP Swapping
Decide how to handle IP addresses. If both redundant chassis are on Then
Same subnet
Use IP swapping.
During a switchover the primary and
secondary modules swap IP
addresses. This lets you use the same
IP address regardless of which
chassis is primary.
See the next guideline for details.
Different subnets
Do not use IP swapping.
You must change to the new primary
address after a switchover. Use
ControlLogix Redundancy Alias Topic
Switcher software to do this. See
Appendix A.
If you are using IP swapping, give the same IP address to
the primary module and its partner.
A. Give the same IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address to both
modules in the redundant pair.
B. Leave the next highest IP address open for the secondary module.
The module in the secondary chassis automatically uses the IP address of the
primary + 1.

Set the primary and secondary

Leave this open for the secondary: 10.10.10.11
