Control Logix 5000 Ethernet module config

[Guest ecsmoore]

greetings: A vendor has recently installed two plc's on our flat LAN. So much traffic is being generated through the switch it is hooked up to that it is causing problems with our network/and other control system devices. We are not yet familiar with CL5000 and need some help. The vendor says this is normal. Can anyone see anything unusual with this config?

Is this correct? Is this how control net is configged on a network in order to get messaging working or something? Look at the consumer and producer addresses. They are the same? I dont know for sure, but this looks like a problem? I appreciate any help. Michael Moore
