When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2.
In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.”

Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
Indicates whether or not this switch is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when

protocol will assign master status to one of the switch units in the ring. The master is only used to
determine which segment serves as the backup path.
