Version
The version of Ring can be changed here. There are two
modes to choose: Rapid Super Ring as default and Super
ring for compatible with Korenix 1
st
general ring.
Device Priority
The switch with highest priority (highest value) will be
automatically selected as Ring Master. Then one of the
ring ports in this switch will become forwarding port and
the other one will become blocking port. If all of the
switches have the same priority, the switch with the
biggest MAC address will be selected as Ring Master.
Ring Port1
In Rapid Super Ring environment, you should have 2
Ring Ports. No matter this switch is Ring Master or not,
when configuring RSR, 2 ports should be selected to be
Ring Ports. For Ring Master, one of the ring ports will
become the forwarding port and the other one will
become the blocking port.
Path Cost
Change the Path Cost of Ring Port1. 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
will become the blocking port, if the Path Cost is the
same, the port with larger port number will become the
blocking port.
Ring Port2
Assign another port for ring connection
Path Cost
Change the Path Cost of Ring Port2
Rapid Dual Homing
Rapid Dual Homing is an important feature of Korenix 3r
d
generation Ring redundancy technology. When you want
to connect multiple RSR or form redundant topologies
with other vendors, Rapid Dual Homing could allow you
to have multiple links for redundancy without any
problem. The maximum uplink is 7 per group.
In Dual Homing I released with JetNet 4000/4500 series,
you have to configure additional port as Dual Homing
port to two uplink switches. In Rapid Dual Homing, you
don’t need to configure specific port to connect to other
protocol. The Rapid Dual Homing will smartly choose the
fastest link for primary link and block all the other links
to avoid loop. If the primary link failed, Rapid Dual
Homing will automatically forward the secondary link for
network redundant. Of course, if there are more
