Using a LAN switch IC to merge 4 Jetson Nanos

Hi,

I’m using the RTL8367RB (LAN switch IC) to merge the LAN output of 4 Jetson Nanos into one ethernet RJ45 connector. And what I’m doing is this:

The ethernet output of each Jetson Nano…

Goes directly into the ethernet inputs of the LAN switch IC (Realtek RTL8367RB):

Disregarding the circuitry directly related to the RTL8367RB, will this connection of the Jetson Nanos ethernet outputs into the ethernet inputs of the LAN switch IC work?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we have no recommendation on this kind of invalidated design. For nano side, the ethernet design should follow the Design Guide well. So the key point is if the switch can fulfill the requests as listed in DG.
