Re: cRIO networking
The best way to change networking settings is in Max -- NI-Measurement and Automation Explorer. It is able to make lots of changes to the cRIO including SW installs, but for what you are asking, it primarily changes the ini file.
Since the FRC rules could be quite different next year, I'd say, make as many changes as you like for off-season. Next year pay attention to the new rules when they come out and change the system accordingly.
Interesting things to consider:
Put a switch or hub on port 1 to allow for DS and programming laptop to connect by cable without removing the bridge. You can also modify the camera IP, move it to the switch and have the dashboard read directly from another http connection to the camera -- no overhead for the cRIO whatsoever. It is also possible to add a route to the cRIO so that the camera on port two can be forwarded by the TCP stack rather than by a cRIO program -- not sure how beneficial this is compared to the direct connection.
