O-Ring
You can connect three or more switches to form a ring topology to gain network redundancy
capabilities through the following steps.
1. Connect each switch to form a daisy chain using an Ethernet cable.
2. Set one of the connected switches to be the master and make sure the port setting of each
connected switch on the management page corresponds to the physical ports connected. For
information about the port setting, please refer to 4.1.2 Configurations.
3. Connect the last switch to the first switch to form a ring topology.
