Disabling network interfaces

You can set network interfaces to disabled or enabled. By default all interfaces are set to enabled.

notice

A disabled interface results in the following consequences:

● No IP address is assigned to the port.

● No IP based traffic is sent or received (TCP, UDP, HTTP etc.).

● All active IP based connections on the interface are disconnected.

● A physical Ethernet link remains active. The port LED indicates the link status as normal.

● Protocols operating on raw Ethernet frames are not affected and continue to function, e.g. EtherCAT.
