Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Sampling with multiple USRP N210s with one host computer

There are lots of different ways.  One example would be to simply connect them all to a switch, along with your host.  Assuming the aggregate bandwidth doesn't exceed what the host's network card or switch can handle you'll be fine.  You could also, as you mentioned, have a single host with 8 network interfaces, this is completely possible.

Hi Everyone,

I recently discovered that Ettus offer a way of synchronizing up the eight
USRPs with the following clock distribution system:

<https://www.ettus.com/product/details/OctoClock-G>

Out of curiosity, how would one be able to connect and sample with eight
separate USRPs with one host computer.  Would you need eight separate
ethernet ports?  That seems like more than what a typical motherboard would
be able to handle.

Or can the USRPs all be connected to a server, which can be individually
accessed through the host computer?

Understanding how to do this will be extremely beneficial in order to gather
some ideas for a project.

Thank you very much in advance,
Rob
