Coupling Ring
If you already have two Redundant Rings topologies and would like to connect the rings, you can
form them into a coupling ring. Just select two switches from each ring to be connected ; for
example, switch A and B from Ring 1 and switch C and D from Ring 2.
Decide which port on each switch to be used as the coupling port and then link them together (e.g.,
port 1 of switch A to port 2 of switch C and port 1 of switch B to port 2 of switch D).
Then, enable Coupling Ring on the management page and select the coupling ring in
correspondance to the connected port. For more information on port setting, please refer to
Configurations
. Once the setting is completed, one of the connections will act as the main path
while the other will act as the backup path.
