Coupling Ring
If you already have two Redundant-Ring topologies and would like to connect the rings, you can
form them into a coupling ring.
For example:
»
Select switches A and B from Ring 1 and switches C and D from Ring 2
»
Link port 1 of switch A to port 2 of switch C
»
Link port 1 of switch B to port 2 of switch D
»
Enable Coupling Ring option on the management page and select the coupling ring matching
the connected port.
»
One of the connections will act as the main path while the other will act as the backup path.
