Communication Redundancy Turbo Ring
2-6
Configuring “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2”
Use the Communication Redundancy page to select Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, or Turbo Chain. Note
that configuration pages for these three protocols are different.
Configuring “Turbo Ring”
Explanation of “Current Status” Items
Now Active
It shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none.
Master/Slave
It indicates whether or not this switch is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when Turbo Ring
or Turbo Ring V2 modes are selected.)
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.
Redundant Ports Status (1st Port, 2nd Port)
Ring Coupling Ports Status (Coupling Port, Coupling Control Port)
The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if this port is connected to
a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
