7.3 Sub-Ring

With this dialog you can:
display an overview of all the connected Sub-Rings,
create Sub-Rings,
configure Sub-Rings, and
Delete Sub-Rings.
Note: The following devices support the Sub-Ring Manager function:
– RSR20/RSR30
– PowerMICE
– MACH 1000
– MACH 4000
In a Sub-Ring, you can integrate as participants the devices that support
MRP - the Sub-Ring Manager function is not required.
Note: Configure all the devices in the Sub-Ring before you close redundant
line. You thus avoid loops during the configuration phase.
Note: Sub-Rings use MRP. You can couple Sub-Rings to existing primary
rings with the HIPER-Ring protocol, the Fast HIPER-Ring protocol and MRP.
If you couple a Sub-Ring to a primary ring under MRP, configure both rings
in different VLANs. You configure
either the Sub-Ring Managers' Sub-Ring ports and the devices of the
Sub-Ring in a separate VLAN. Here multiple Sub-Rings can use the same
VLAN.
or the devices of the primary ring including the Sub-Ring Managers'
primary ring ports in a separate VLAN. This reduces the configuration
effort when coupling multiple Sub-Rings to a primary ring.
