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 (core 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.
O-Chain
When connecting multiple O-Rings to meet your expansion demand, you can create an
O-Chain topology through the following steps.
1. Select two switches from the chain (Switch A & B) that you want to connect to the O-Ring
and connect them to the switches in the ring (Switch C & D).
2. In correspondence to the port connected to the ring, configure an edge port for both of the
connected switches in the chain by checking the box in the management page (see 4.1.2
Configurations).
3. Once the setting is completed, one of the connections will act as the main path, and the
other as the backup path.
