automatically named Ring and the Ring ID number, for example: Ring2.
Priority
The switch with highest priority (highest value) is automatically selected
as the Ring Master. If all of the switches have the same priority, then the
switch with the highest MAC address is selected as the Ring Master.
Ring Port 1/ Ring
Port 2
In a Ring, two ports should be selected to be Ring Ports. For the Ring
Master, one of the ring ports becomes the forwarding port and the other
one becomes the blocking port.
Path Cost
Change the Path Cost of Ring Port. If this switch is the Ring Master of a
Ring, then it determines the blocking port. The Port with higher Path
Cost in the two ring ports becomes the blocking port, If the Path Cost is
the same, the port with larger port number becomes the blocking port.
