PWVIA RM P12 Ethernet Switches - Manual
Menu Item Description
Control VLAN: <x>
Specifies the VLAN ID# used to determine the integrity of the ring. This VLAN may not be
used for any other traffic. Valid ID# is any ID
outside the range set in VLAN setup. Default
is VLAN 4095 .
<Save and Apply> Saves current settings and returns to previous menu.
<Discard Changes> Discards current changes and returns to previous menu.
During the set up and configuration of the Ring Protection feature, communication between devices may be erratic or
broken. We strongly recommend that all switches be configured with the appropriate Ring Protection settings
PRIOR to be
connected together. We also strongly recommend that all switches be disconnected from one another PRIOR to disabling
the ring feature.
Prior to set up, determine which switch will be the master. Generally, the least busy switch with the most stable power
source is the best choice . All other switches must be configured as transit switches.
All switches must have both a primary and a secondary ring port set. These ports will be automatically configured as Tagged
(uplink) ports, meaning all traffic on all VLANs will be passed through the ports.
If changes are made to the ring configuration while the ring is active, it may be necessary to reboot all switches for the
changes to take effect.
RAPID SPANNING TREE
The Rapid Spanning Tree algorithm detects and prevents network loops. The interaction between RSTP and the Ring
Protect system may cause long network reconfiguration times when the ring topology is changed. For this reason, it is
recommended that RSTP be used during setup and then disabled after verifying there are no loops present. EAPS ring
protection (see above) is much faster than RSTP and should be used during performances.
WARNING : Rapid Spanning Tree must be enabled on all switches to detect loops correctly. Network loops created through
unmanaged switches may not be detected correctly. Pathway’s implementation of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is inter-
operable with other switch manufacturer’s implementations.
