Linear Network
Linear Network
Embedded switch technology is designed to enable end devices to form linear and
ring network topologies.
Products with EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology have two ports to
connect to a linear or DLR network in a single subnet.
You cannot use these ports as two Network Interface Cards (NICs) connected to
two different subnets.
A linear network is a collection of devices that are daisy-chained together. The
EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology lets you implement this topology at the
device level. No additional switches are required.
200-AENTR is a device that can be connected linear.
