2.1 Example of a HIPER-Ring
A network contains a backbone in a line structure with 3 devices. To increase
the redundancy reliability of the backbone, you have decided to convert the
line structure to a HIPER-Ring. You use ports 1.1 and 1.2 of the devices to
connect the lines
1
.

The following example configuration describes the configuration of the ring
manager device (1). The two other devices (2 to 3) are configured in the
same way, but without activating the ring manager function. Select the
“Standard” value for the ring recovery, or leave the field empty.
1. On modular devices the 1st number of the port designation specifies the
module. The 2nd number specifies the port on the module. The specification
pattern 1.x is also used on non-modular devices to ensure consistent
operation for modular and non-modular devices.
