Ring Configuration
ID: Once a Ring is created, it appears and cannot be changed.
Name: This field will show the name of the Ring. If it is not filled in when creating, it will be
automatically named by the rule “RingID”.
Version: The version of Ring can be changed here.
There are two modes to choose:
Redundant Ring and Redundant Chain, the Redundant Ring as default.
Device Priority: The switch with highest priority (highest value) will be automatically
selected as Ring Master. Then one of the ring ports in this switch will become forwarding
port and the other one will become blocking port. If all of the switches have the same
priority, the Switch with the biggest MAC address will be selected as Ring Master.
Ring Port1: In Redundant Ring environment, you should have 2 Ring Ports. No matter this
switch is Ring Master or not. For Ring Master,
one of the ring ports will become the
forwarding port and the other one will become the blocking port.
Path Cost: Change the Path Cost of Ring Port1. If this switch is the Ring Master of a Ring,
then it determines the blocking port. The Port with higher Path Cost in the two ring Port will
become the blocking port, If the Path Cost is the same, the port with larger port number will
become the blocking port.
Ring Port2: Assign another port for ring connection
Path Cost: Change the Path Cost of Ring Port2
Rapid Dual Homing: Rapid Dual Homing is an important feature of 3
rd
generation Ring
redundancy technology. When you want to connect multiple RSR or form a redundant
topology with other vendors, RDH could allow you to have maximum 7 multiple links for
redundancy without any problem.
RDH Ext. ID:
Rapid Dual Homing Extension ID. The Extension ID and Ring ID cannot be
the same, when dual home to the same foreing network. The Extension ID range from 0
to 7. With the combination of Extension ID(0 to 7) and Ring ID(0 to 31), we can now
support up to 256(8*32) different dual homing rings
In Rapid Dual Homing, you don’t need to configure specific port to connect to other
protocol. The Rapid Dual Homing will smartly choose the fastest link for primary link and
block the other entire link to avoid loop. If the primary link failed, Rapid Dual Homing will
automatically forward the secondary link for network redundant. Of course, if there are
more connections, they will be standby links and recover one of then if both primary and
secondary links are broken.
Ring status: To enable/disable the Ring. Please
remember to enable the ring after you add it.
Super Chain Configuration
ID:
The Ring Identifier referring to this Ring
(Chain).
Role:
Super Chain has two node role Border
