Aggregate Rings

Aggregate the list of rings to a single port.

The cRIO-9805 Ethernet switch can aggregate communication on up to three out of its four Ethernet ports. When arranging the cRIO-9805 switches, the two ports coming off of a ring must be connected to the same switch.

Divide your ring list into pairs and aggregate each pair together according to the pattern in the following figure.

An additional cRIO-9805 can aggregate up to three ring pairs, as shown in the following figure. Use this recursive pattern to group rings until all ring communication aggregates to a single network port.
