.

The information displayed for each group on this screen is, as follows.

IX

Index for selecting a group to be viewed, changed, or deleted.

Box, Port

Primary DSRR port. This column displays the port that is connected to the legacy
Token-Ring (on which DSRR protocol frames will be transmitted). See Figure 27
on page 142.

Group

This is a global group identification. Active DSRR groups (on different switches)
with the same Group ID and with primary ports connected to the same ring will
provide backup for each other.

Enabled

This column shows if the switch participates actively in the group.
