Ring redundancy
Configuration of ring redundancy
●
If you enable the "Ring Redundancy" check box, you turn ring redundancy on. The ring
ports set on this page are used.
●
Here, you set the mode of the ring redundancy.
The following modes are available:
– Automatic Redundancy Detection
Select this setting to create an automatic configuration of the redundancy mode.
In the "Automatic Redundancy Detection" mode, the device automatically detects
whether or not there is a device with the "HRP Manager" role in the ring. If there is, the
device adopts the role "HRP" client.
If no HRP manager is found, all devices with the "Automatic Redundancy Detection"
or "MRP Auto Manager" setting negotiate among themselves to establish which
device adopts the role of "MRP Manager". The device with the lowest MAC address
will always become "MRP Manager". The other devices automatically set themselves
to "MRP Client" mode.
– MRP Auto-Manager
In the "MRP Auto Manager" mode, the devices negotiate among themselves to
establish which device will adopt the role of "MRP Manager". The device with the
lowest MAC address will always become "MRP Manager". The other devices
automatically set themselves to "MRP Client" mode.
