You will need to configure the host's ethernet interface with a static IP address to enable communication.

+As described above, you will need one ethernet interface per USRP2.
+Each ethernet interface should have its own subnet,
+and the corresponding USRP2 device should be assigned an address in that subnet.
+Example:

+**Configuration for USRP2 device 0:**

+* Ethernet interface IPv4 address: 192.168.10.1
+* Ethernet interface subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
