Monitor the Switch Chapter 8
REP Status
In Device Manager, you can review the status of the REP topology for one or
all network segments.
From the Monitor menu, choose REP.
To display an archived REP topology, click the Archived Topology tab and
then select the segment ID.
CIP Status
In Device Manager, you can monitor Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
status. CIP is an application layer messaging protocol that is used by various
industrial automation and control devices to communicate as part of a control
system. CIP is the application layer for the EtherNet/IP network. Stratix
switches contain an EtherNet/IP server that enables the switch to be part of
the industrial automation and control system for basic management and
monitoring.
The CIP Status window displays information about CIP status (Overview
field) and statistics (Request Details field) for the following:
• When the switch was last powered on or restarted
• When the counters were last reset
To troubleshoot an issue, reset the CIP counters, and see if the counters show
that the issue still exists.
IMPORTANT Except for Active Multicast Groups, all other categories are related to the CIP
server in the switch. The categories pertain to CIP traffic directed to the
switch as a CIP target device. The categories do not refer to CIP (EtherNet/IP)
traffic that flows through the switch among these devices:
• Various CIP controllers
• HMI devices
• Configuration tools
• Other CIP target devices, such as drives, I/O modules, motor starters,
sensors, and valves
