3.3.1.5.2 Point-to-Multipoint (Star Structure)
A point-to-multipoint connection is a connection of different places with a central point. This can
be realized with just one or multiple copper pairs.

3.3.1.5.3 Daisy Chain (Line Structure)
In a daisy chain you connect the devices in series and in each device, you can add/drop
Ethernet data. This can be realized with just one or multiple copper pairs.

3.3.1.5.4 Ring Structure
A ring structure is mainly realized to have redundancy for the data transmission. It means when
a single copper connection fails, you still have a correct working application. For a ring structure
you must enable the RSTP protocol.
