Managed Ethernet Switch Redundancy Protocol (UI 2.0) Turbo Ring

2-8

Configuring “Turbo Ring V2”

The following figure indicates which Turbo Ring V2 parameters can be configured. A more detailed explanation

of each parameter follows.

NOTE

When using the Dual

-Ring architecture, you must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2. In this c

ase, the

status of both rings will appear under “Status.”

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 1/2: Role

Indicates whether or not this switch is the Master or Slave of the Turbo Ring. (When using the Dual-Ring

architecture and this switch is selected to operate on both rings, you must configure settings for both Ring 1

and Ring 2 at this switch. In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Status.”)

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.

Ring 1/2: Turbo Ring Status

Shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is active.
