EtherNet/IP Embedded Switch Technology Overview
The EtherNet/IP embedded switch technology offers alternative network topologies
for interconnecting EtherNet/IP devices by embedding switches into the end
devices.
EtherNet/IP Star Topology
Figure 2. EtherNet/IP Star Topology
The traditional EtherNet/IP network topology has been a star, where end devices are
connected and communicate with each other via a switch. The Figure 2 below
shows an EtherNet/IP star configuration.
