Hi all,
I'm having a problem right now with my PXIe-8135 RT controller that I didn't see in the past. The controller is running NI RT OS 13.1. My potentially unique use of this controller is that I assign Port 2 to be the Primary port and assign it a Static IP Address. I then use Port 1 as a backup port and assign it a Static IP Address on the same subnet. Nothing is connected to Port 1 unless Port 2 were to fail and we would need to connect our computer to Port 1 in order to communicate with the controller. The only reason that Port 2 is used as the primary port is because of a drawing that specifies the system to be built with the ethernet cable plugged into the left most ethernet port on the controller, and that happens to be Port 2 on this controller.
The problem I'm having is that my network configuration of Port 1 (the secondary port) never sticks. Port 2 (the primary port) never has any issue with staying configured. When I set the Static IP Address of Port 1, then restart the controller, Port 1 is Disabled. I even tried configuring it to be on a different subnet and that didn't work either. I'm having a feeling that the controller will not allow there to be two active ports if Port 2 is set to be the Primary port. Can anyone lend a hand?
