Connection problems IO Link Master with PC via EtherCAT
Hello,
I'm trying to reach my io-Link Master with my laptop via etherCAT.
I can establish a successful connection using ctrl X. However, there is no way to find the master with a network cable.
Does anyone have experience and can help me with this?
Thank you Alex

Hello Alex,
which IOL master are you using?
Normally Ethercat doesn't support normal Ethernet, to do so, the EC Slave have to support EoE.
EoE need to be enabled on the Core as well, than it's possible with routing to access the IOL master with Ethernet.
It's explained in the EtherCAT Master docu https://docs.automation.boschrexroth.com/doc/3233068867/acyclic-communication-mailbox/latest/en/

Please check if the "enable IP forwarding" is switched-on.
