The USRP2 only supports gigabit ethernet, and
43 
will not work with a 10/100 Mbps interface.
44 
Because the USRP2 uses gigabit ethernet pause frames for flow control,
45 
you cannot use multiple USRP2s with a switch or a hub.
46 
It is recommended that each USRP2 be plugged directly into its own
47 
dedicated gigabit ethernet interface on the host computer.
42 
The USRP2 only supports gigabit ethernet,
43 
and will not work with a 10/100 Mbps interface.
44 
However, a 10/100 Mbps interface can be connected indirectly
45 
to a USRP2 through a gigabit ethernet switch.

As described above, you will need one ethernet interface per USRP2.


  		




  67
  
  
    
Each ethernet interface should have its own subnet,


  		




  
  64
  
    
For maximum throughput, one ethernet interface per USRP2 is recommended,


  		




  
  65
  
    
although multiple devices may be connected via a gigabit ethernet switch.


  		




  
  66
  
    
In any case, each ethernet interface should have its own subnet,


  		




  68
  67
  
    
and the corresponding USRP2 device should be assigned an address in that subnet.
