Hey Marcus,

I would like to be able to use all four channels of each N310 if desired. In that case it would take 2 SFP+ per N310 as I understand it. If I only use 1 channel I would require 1 SFP+ port, I understand your point.

Ah.  I misunderstood.  Then, yes, in order to move 400Msps per USRP you'd need two SFP+ 10Gig cards per USRP.  But the aggregate there is 2Gsps.

That would require some very very very capable machine, even to just record the samples, even briefly.  If you can make that work, I think we'd all
  like to know how....

    Hello,

    I am attempting to setup 5 USRP N310's to be controlled by a
    single host. You can assume the host has enough processing power
    to avoid being the bottleneck. My question here is only concerned
    with properly setting up the network so that 100 MHz of bandwidth
    capture is theoretically supported by each of the 5 N310's per
    channel.

    Would the following setup support the above:
    1) Connect each of the 1G Ethernet management ports to a
    switch and connect the switch to the host. Each radio should be
    assigned an IP address automatically by a DHCP server as I
    understand it.
    2) Connect the SFP+ ports to a corresponding NIC SFP+ port on the
    host computer. With 5 N310's this will correspond to 10 total
    SFP+ ports required at the host, two per radio.

    Is this correct, or do I need to change something? Also, is there
    a way to reduce the required number of SFP+ ports required on the
    host by using a 100G switch in some way?

    Thank you for any assistance you can provide

    Richard

    I'm slightly confused by the wording. Do you intend to bring in a
    total of 1Gsps or 500Gsps?

    A single 10G SFP+ port should support about 200Msps. Unless I
    botched the late-night math, you'd only need both SFP+ ports per
    N310 if you were bringing in up to 400Msps.
