iRing interface
The following table describes the labels for the iRing screen.
Label Description
iRing Enables iRing.
Ring Master There should be only one Ring Master in a ring. However, if two or
more switches have Ring Master enabled, the switch with the lowest
MAC address will become the Ring Master and the others will become
the Backup Masters.

st
Ring Port The primary port when configured in iRing.
2
nd
Ring Port The backup port when configured in iRing.
Ring Linking Enables Ring Linking. Ring Linnking can be used to divide a big ring into
two smaller rings avoiding any change to the other switches if there is
network topology change. It is a good application for connecting two
rings.
Ring Linking Port Set a port as the Ring Linking port to link to the Ring Linking port of the
switch in the other ring. Ring Linking requires four switches to
construct an active and a backup link. The linked four ports of the four
switches will be operated in active/backup mode.
Dual Homing Enables Dual Homing. By selecting Dual Homing mode, the ring will be
connected to switches through two RSTP links (i.e., backbone Switch).
The two links will act in active/backup mode, and connect each ring to
the switches in RSTP mode.
Homing Port Selects Homing Port
Apply Click “ Apply ” to activate the configurations.
Note: It is not recommended to set one switch as a Ring Master and a Coupling Ring at the same
time due as this will over load the system.
