7.3. Multi-Switch Blueprint Layout with 8 AVB devices
The example image below shows only the IP Audio/IP Video devices and the AVB/TSN switches to illustrate how to configure a multi-switch AVB
deployment which will function as a “single switch”. AVB Switches can be “daisy-chained” as shown below in configurations where the number of IP
Audio/IP Video devices exceeds the available number of ports on a single switch.
Note that while this example uses 5-port MOTU AVB switches, there are supported AVB switches with Component Profiles available in the RacePoint
Blueprint Library with more than 5 available ports per switch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
–
AVB/TSN switches must be daisy chained using AVB ports.
–
The annotation shows AVB_01 connected to AVB_02, all AVB/ TSN switches are connected in this manner.
–
Only one of the AVB/TSN switches should be physically connected to the rest of the network via its uplink port. As noted above, this
connection is not represented within Blueprint.
