2.1 The MRP-Ring
The concept of the MRP-Ring enables the construction of high-availability,
ring-shaped network structures.
The two ends of a backbone in a line-type configuration can be closed to form
a redundant ring - the MRP-Ring - by using the RM function (Redundancy
Manager) of the Switch.
It is possible to mix the devices that support this function in any combination
within the MRP ring.
If a line section fails, the ring structure of up to 50 switches typically trans-
forms back to a line-type configuration within 150 ms (maximum 500 ms).
