About this Manual About this Manual The “Redundancy Configuration” user manual contains all the information you need to select a suitable redundancy procedure and configure it. The “Basic Configuration” user manual contains all the information you need to start operating the device. It takes you step by step from the first startup operation through to the basic settings for operation in your environment.
The designations used in this manual have the following meanings: List Work step Subheading Link Indicates a cross-reference with a stored link Note: A note emphasizes an important fact or draws your attention to a dependency.

Ring Redundancy 2 Ring Redundancy The concept of ring redundancy allows the construction of high-availability, ring-shaped network structures. With the help of the RM (Ring Manager) function, the two ends of a backbone in a line structure can be closed to a redundant ring. The ring manager keeps the redundant line open as long as the line structure is intact.

Within a HIPER-Ring, you can use any combination of the following devices: – RS1 – RS2-./. – RS2-16M – RS2-4R – RS20, RS30, RS40 – RSR20, RSR30 – OCTOPUS – MICE – MS20, MS30 – Power MICE – MACH 100 –...
Ring Redundancy 2.1 Example of HIPER-Ring 2.1 Example of HIPER-Ring A network contains a backbone in a line structure with 3 devices. To increase the redundancy reliability of the backbone, you have decided to convert the line structure to a HIPER-Ring. You use ports 1 and 2 in module 1 of the devices to connect the lines.

Ring Redundancy 2.1 Example of HIPER-Ring Note: Configure all the devices of the HIPER-Ring individually. Before you connect the redundant line, you must complete the configuration of all the devices of the HIPER-Ring. You thus avoid loops during the configuration phase.
Ring Redundancy 2.1 Example of HIPER-Ring 2.1.1 Setting up and configuring the HIPER-Ring Set up the network to meet your requirements. You configure all 6 ports so that the transmission speed and the duplex settings of the lines correspond to the following table: Bit rate 100 Mbit/s 1000 Mbit/s...

Ring Redundancy 2.1 Example of HIPER-Ring Figure 4: Ring Redundancy dialog Click on “Set” to temporarily save the entry in the configuration. Note: Deactivate the Spanning Tree protocol on the ports connected to the HIPER-Ring because Spanning Tree and Ring Redundancy affect each oth- er.
Ring Redundancy 2.2 Example of MRP-Ring 2.2 Example of MRP-Ring A network contains a backbone in a line structure with 3 devices. To increase the redundancy reliability of the backbone, you have decided to convert the line structure to a ring redundancy. In contrast to the previous example, devices from different manufacturers are being used which do not all support the HIPER-Ring protocol.

Ring Redundancy 2.2 Example of MRP-Ring Note: You cannot configure devices with L2B software as ring managers. You can exlusively use these devices as members of the redundant ring. Note: Configure all the devices of the MRP-Ring individually. Before you connect the redundant line, you must complete the configuration of all the de- vices of the MRP-Ring.

Ring Redundancy 2.2 Example of MRP-Ring Figure 6: Ring Redundancy dialog Click on “Set” to temporarily save the entry in the configuration. The displays in the “Information” frame mean – “Redundancy existing”: One of the lines affected by the function can fail, whereby the redundant line will then take over the function of the failed line.
