Interface Element Description
supports up to 2 or 4 groups.
Notes:
Device with less than 10 ports supports up to 2 rings, device with
more than 10 ports supports 4 rings.
ID
When multiple switches form a ring, the current ring ID would
be network ID. Different ring network has different ID.
Port 1
port 1 can be used for the formation of ring network in switch.
Coupling port
When the ring type is
“Couple”, the coupling port would be the
one connects different network ID.
Port 2
Port 2 can be used for the formation of ring network in switch.
Control port
When the ring type is
“Couple”, the control port would be the
one in the link of the intersection of two rings.
Type
According to the requirement in the scene, user can choose
different ring network.
⚫
Single: single ring, using a continuous ring to connect all
device together.
⚫
Couple: couple ring is a redundant structure used for
connecting two independent networks.
⚫
Chain: chain can enhance user
’s flexibility in constructing
all types of redundant network topology via an advanced
software technology.
⚫
Dual-homing: two adjacent rings share one switch. User
could put one switch in two different networks or two
different switching equipments in one network.
HelloTime
Hello_time is the time interval of Hello packet transmission. It
is a query packet sent to adjacent device via ring network port
to confirm whether the connection is normal.
Enable
Enable or disable the corresponding ring group.
Now introduce the creation process respectively according to different ring network:
⚫
Create single ring
⚫
Create coupling ring
⚫
Create chain
⚫
Create rapid spanning tree
