iChain
When connecting multiple iRings to meet expansion demands; an iChain topology can be created
following the steps below:
1.
Select two switches from the chain (Switch A & B) that you want to connect to the iRing and
connect them to the switches in the ring (Switch C & D).
2.
In correspondence to the ports 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 4.1.2
Configurations).
3.
Once the setting is completed; one of the connections will act as the main path, and the other
as the backup path.
