Using FibeAir2000 Manager to Set up a Ring
Creating a Ring using FibeAir2000 Manager requires two stages:

7. For each link, run the Configuration wizard to define it as RPL or

To integrate a link into an Ethernet Ring:
1. Using either the Installation or Configuration wizards, navigate to the
Services window and chose the Ring tab.

2. Click Configure. The Ring definition window is displayed. The default is
Independent Link and is used when the link is not part of any Ring.
Note
• The Ring uses a VLAN ID for the RPL. It is used to manage the Ring
and nothing else; it is completely separate from the management
and traffic VLANs referred to elsewhere
• A regular Ring Link may be a member of up to four rings and each of
their RPL VLAN IDs must be configured
