IE-SW-VL08M Series User's Manual
Configuring "Turbo Ring V2"
NOTE
When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2.
In this case, the status of both rings will appear under "Current Status."
Explanation of "Current Status" Items
Now Active
Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain,
RSTP, or none.
Ring 1/2—Status
Shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring's backup link is
active.
Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
Indicates whether or not this switch is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when
selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)
NOTE
The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring
protocol will assign master status to one of the switch units in the ring. The master is only used to
determine which segment serves as the backup path.
