Chapter 1 Start
Star Topology
In this example, the devices are connected by using star topology. Each device
is connected directly through a Stratix® 5700 switch.
Kinetix 5100 drives have dual-ports, so linear topology is maintained from the
switch port to the drive, but each drive uses a unique port on the Ethernet
switch. The loss of one device does not impact the operation of other devices.
