Figure 20 Schematic diagram for an intersecting-ring network
Dual homed rings
As shown in
nodes exist between rings. You only need to 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
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.
