Explanation of “Status” Items

Active Protocol

Shows which redundancy protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain, RSTP, MSTP or

None.

Ring: Role

Indicates whether or not this switch is the Master or Slave of the Turbo Ring.

NOTE

The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If master is

not set,

the Turbo Ring protocol will

assign master status to one of the

switches

in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment

serves as the backup path.
