Figure 15 Schematic diagram for an intersecting-ring network
Dual-homed rings
As shown in
exist between rings. You need only define an RRPP domain and configure one ring as the primary ring
and the other rings as subrings.

Single-ring load balancing
In a single-ring network, you can achieve load balancing by configuring multiple domains.
As shown in
Ring 1 is configured as the primary ring of both Domain 1 and Domain 2.
•
• Domain 1 and Domain 2 are configured with different protected VLANs.
In Domain 1, Device A is configured as the master node of Ring 1.
•
In Domain 2, Device B is configured as the master node of Ring 1.
•
Such configurations enable the ring to block different links based on VLANs and achieve single-ring load
balancing.
Figure 16, two or more rings exist in the network topology and two similar common nodes
