Chapter 3 Configure Switch Features
You can configure DHCP for ring devices on the Config DHCP tab in Device
Manager, as shown on
page 117 . Before you configure DHCP for ring devices,
you must enable DHCP and configure an IP address pool to use for the ring
devices as described on
page 127 .
Once you configure DHCP for ring devices, the changes take effect when the
ring converges after the loss of a network connection. However, if you assign a
new IP address to a device currently in use, the new IP address does not take
effect until the device’s current address lease expires or until the device restarts.
Be aware that a mismatch between the number of configured devices and the
number of physical ring devices triggers an alarm. This mismatch can be a
result of a topology change or a configuration change.
Multiple Rings
Stratix 5400 switches support as many as three rings with these configuration
rules:
•
Ring ports function only as access ports.
•
Multiple rings cannot share the same ring ports. Valid ring ports are
defined in
Table 36 on page 104 .
•
All ring ports within the same ring or belonging to different rings must
be assigned to the same access VLAN.
•
The same Stratix 5400 switch must serve as the active gateway for all
rings.
•
The same Stratix 5400 switch must serve as the backup gateway for all
rings.
Figure 17 shows an example of a Stratix 5400 switch configured for three rings.
