Linear Network Topology
A linear network topology is a collection of devices that are daisy-chained
together across an EtherNet/IP network. Devices that can connect to a linear
network topology use embedded switch technology so you do not need a
separate switch, as required in star network topologies.

Star Network Topology
A star network topology is a traditional EtherNet/IP network that has multiple
devices that are connected to each other via an Ethernet switch.
