connected, for example, switch A and B from Ring 1 and switch C and D from Ring 2. Decide
which port on each switch to be used as the coupling port and then link them together, for
example, port 1 of switch A to port 2 of switch C and port 1 of switch B to port 2 of switch D.
Then, enable Coupling Ring on the management page and select the coupling ring in
correspondence to the connected port. For more information on port setting, please refer to
4.1.2 Configurations. Once the setting is completed, one of the connections will act as the main
path while the other will act as the backup path.
Dual Homing
If you want to connect your ring topology to a RSTP network environment, you can use dual
homing. Choose two switches (Switch A & B) from the ring for connecting to the switches in the
RSTP network (backbone switches). The connection of one of the switches (Switch A or B) will
act as the primary path, while the other will act as the backup path that is activated when the
primary path connection fails.
