6.1.2 Configuring the MRP-Ring

To configure an MRP-Ring, you set up the network to meet your require-
ments. For the ring ports, select the following basic settings in the Basic
Settings:Port Configuration dialog:
Bit rate
Autonegotiation
(automatic configuration)
Port
Duplex
Table 22: Port settings for ring ports
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. You thus avoid loops during the configuration phase.
