Hello,

no, I expect ports of CPUs working like a switch so you need better use PN-PN Coupler.

PNIE1/2 is on different interfaces of the CPU, not ports (ports located on the same interface and act like a switch)

Between interfaces:
It depends what exactly is needed and which firmware/TIA version is used.

Maybe IP-forwarding is a possible solution for you.

IP-Forwarding

How do you set the IP forwarding to configure an IO-Link master with S7-PCT (Port Configuration Tool) via the interfaces of the S7 CPU?

Hello,

he need describe better what he want to do exactly. If that next PN network is different existing already or he want create 2 independed PN networks on one CPU. If that 2-nd option is expected then is expected to add next CP to create independed PN network. I see probably this kind of problem at his side
