Report By Exception (RBX) feature on a PLC with two NICs

Jamil, Babar

Has anyone used Report By Exception feature on any PLC (Controllogix specifically) with two NICs in TCP/IP, Ethernet environment ? If so, how
does Controllogix handle RBX ?

1) Does firmware allow you to specify one NIC as primary and the other NIC as an alternate route ?
2) Does firmware allow you to define two different subnet masks ?
3) How if one NIC of the receiving server fails, can Controllogix detect that and send RBX message to the other NIC?

If anyone has any experience in this subject, please share with me.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier enquiry about using "Two NICs under WinNT 4.0 system"
