Mitigatiesamenvatting

We recommend to operate the devices in closed networks or protect with a firewall against unauthorized access. Another, recommended mitigation is to limit the network traffic via the switch rate limit feature according to your application needs. The switch rate limit can be configured e.g. via Web based Management to minimize the effect of high network load: 750-8xx: Ethernet > "Misc. Configuration" > "internal Port" > "Output Limit Rate" 750-8xxx: Network > Ethernet > 'Switch Configuration' > 'Rate Limit' Please also consult the product manuals as this is a known problem for some devices: 750-880 Go to https://www.wago.com/de/sps/controller-ethernet/p/750-880 external link Select "Downloads" In section "Dokumentation" choose "ETHERNET Programmierbarer Feldbuscontroller 10 / 100 Mbit/s; digitale und analoge Signale V 2.3.0, 03.08.2016" and select your language for the manual.
