ProfiNET not working with M4300-28G-PoE+

I got a device connected via an unmanaged Netgear switch using ProfiNET protocol and it works fine.
When I try to use this device via Netgear M4300-28G-PoE+ switch the communication fails.

The SIEMENS controller and any other equipment in the network can still see the device, but the ProfiNET communication doesn't work.

There is no VLAN configured but the default VLAN 1.

    LeoSunSET,

     

    Welcome to our community! :)

     

    IGMP plus might be messing with the ProfiNet which is enabled by default. Please try to disable the IGMP Plus and test. To make sure everything is turned off make a VLAN 2, Set PVID and Untag for 2 on several ports, and connect the devices to these ports to see if the issue goes away.  

     

    Regards,
