4.1.3.3 Administration and Diagnosis Protocols
In addition to the communication protocols described above, various fieldbus
specific application protocols and a view protocols for system administration
and diagnosis can be implemented.
• BootP
• HTTP
• DHCP
• DNS
• SNTP
• FTP
• SMTP
Additional Information
You can find a list of the exact available implemented protocols in the chap-
ter "Technical Data" to the fieldbus coupler and/or controller.
4.1.3.3.1 BootP (Bootstrap Protocol)
The BootP protocol defines a request/response mechanism with which the
MAC-ID of a fieldbus node can be assigned a fix IP address.
For this a network node is enabled to send requests into the network and call
up the required network information, such as the IP address of a BootP server.
The BootP server waits for BootP requests and generates the response from a
configuration database.
The dynamic configuration of the IP address via a BootP server offers the user
a flexible and simple design of his network. The WAGO BootP server allows
any IP address to be easily assigned for the WAGO (programmable) fieldbus
coupler or controller. You can download a free copy of the WAGO BootP
server over the Internet at: http://www.wago.com.
Additional Information
The procedure for address allocation with the WAGO BootP Server is de-
scribed in detail in the Chapter “Starting up a Fieldbus Node”.
