Figure 4
Figure 4 shows a typical network topology for the
PixlArt416
controller(s) LAN. The host machine
typically connects to a router and then to the controller(s). If you are only using a few controllers,
they can be connected straight to the router. Larger installations will benefit from using a network
switch between the router and controllers. Very large installations (E.g. 50 or more universes in
multicast mode) will also benefit from the use of an IGMP snooping enabled network switch and
router.
In a single controller installation, it may be preferable to connect the controller directly to the host
machine’s network adapter
.
