1. No
2. Primary CPU uses for example 172.16.80.151/172.17.80.151, Backup CPU uses 172.16.82.151/172.17.82.151, but the Backup CPU address is configured via Default Rule (in Serial IP Config tool)

The address of controller Ethernet ports should in some cases be set using the IPConfig tool. See the System 800xA Control AC 800M Getting Started (3BSE041880*) .

Read from Page 78 and forward.

Also read in manual 3BSE036351-600 A, section Controller IP Addresses, from page 165 and forward

There are two methods available to set IP configuration

1) Serial cable + IPConfig tool. This allow setting an initial address, subnetworkmask. This is also the ONLY method to set the Backup CPU address. ABB promotes enabling the "Default Rule" which adds 0.0.2.0 to the Primary CPU address. Primary CPU will supervise that the Backup CPU is available on Ethernet.

2) Download of an application. This will OVERWRITE any previous IP configuration except for the "Backup CPU" address which will be retained.

Any change via 1) or 2) require a controller reset or cycling of 24V power to take effect. Please be aware of the common pitfall of setting IP with methoid 1) and then download something else with method 2). This new setting will take effect at next controller reset. If method 2) was made incorrectly, access will be lost until the HMI takes on the address plan used when downloading, or method 1) can be used to restore the correct IP. ALWAYS ALWAYS read the warning about "Downloading new IP address" in Control Builder M. This address will be used AFTER next controller reset. Many have made the mistake of downloading wrong IP and have to walk over to the controller and use the serial cable to recover access with the controller.
