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 (Ciscos 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.

B-Chain
When connecting multiple B-Rings to meet your expansion demand, you can create an B-Chain topology through the following
steps.
1. Select two switches from the chain (Switch A & B) that you want to connect to the B-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 Section 4.1.2, Configuration).
