Redundant
Ring
Mark to enable Ring.
Ring Master
There should be one and only one Ring Master in a ring.
However if there are two or more switches which set the
Ring Master to enable, the switch with the lowest MAC
address will be the actual Ring Master and others will be
Backup Masters.

Ring Port
The primary port, when this switch is Ring Master.
2
nd
Ring Port
The backup port, when this switch is Ring Master.
Coupling Ring
Mark to enable Coupling Ring. Coupling Ring can be
used to divide a big ring into two smaller rings to avoid
effecting all switches when network topology change. It
is a good application for connecting two Rings.
Coupling Port
Link to a Coupling Port of the switch in another ring
.
Coupling Rings need four switches to build an active
backup link.
Set a port as a coupling port. The coupled four ports of
four switches will be run at in an active/backup mode.
Dual Homing
Mark to enable Dual Homing. By selecting Dual
Homing mode, the Ring will be connected to normal
switches through two RSTP links (ex: backbone Switch).
The two links work as an active/backup mode, and
connect each Ring to the normal switches in RSTP
mode.
