Ring Configurations

Valid Ring Topologies

Valid ring connections require that the appropriate ports are software-configured for ring
operation. The following diagrams are examples of how you could wire your EOTec
2104 Ethernet Ring Switches together. In general, you should keep your topology
simple.
