5.9.5.1 Sub Ring
[ Switching > L2-Redundancy > FuseNet > Sub Ring ]
This dialog lets you set up the device as a subring manager.
The
Sub Ring
function enables you to easily couple network segments to existing redundancy rings.
The subring manager (SRM) couples a subring to an existing ring (base ring).
In the subring you can use any devices that support MRP as ring participants. These devices do
not require a subring manager function.
When setting up subrings, remember the following rules:
The device supports
Link Aggregation
in the subring
No spanning tree on subring ports
Same
MRP domain
on devices within a subring
Different VLANs for base ring and subring
Specify the VLAN settings as follows:
VLAN
X
for base ring
– on the ring ports of the base ring participants
– on the base ring ports of the subring manager
VLAN
Y
for subring
– on the ring ports of the subring participants
– on the subring ports of the subring manager
Note: To help avoid loops, only close the redundant line when the settings are specified in every
device participating in the ring.
