3.2.1 Example of a multi-ring system configuration with shared links (VLAN-shared)
This system uses VLANs common to rings in the multi-ring configuration and has shared links.
In this case, a combination of the shared link monitoring ring and shared link non-monitoring ring forms the
multi-ring configuration.
Figure
3.2-2 Network with the VLAN-shared multi-ring configuration
In the ring configuration above, AX6300S and AX2400S series switches are used as core and distribution
switches, respectively, in each building. In addition, AX6300S core switches in each building are configured to
form the backbone ring between the two buildings, and 10GBASE-R is used to connect the core switches for
larger bandwidth.
Based on the configuration above, the core switches in each building are the shared nodes of the backbone ring
and the rings in the buildings.
Expected capacities
Number of VLANs per ring group: 50
Total number of used VLANs: 50 + 4 = 54
