Page 22: The O-Ring Concept
User Manual Managed Switches • Fast Recovery When configuring a redundant ring, all switches on the same ring must be configured to use the same redundancy protocol. You cannot mix the O-Ring and STP/RSTP protocols on the same ring. The following table lists the key differences between the features of each protocol. Use this information to evaluate the benefits of each, and then determine which features are most suitable for your network. -
Page 23: Ring Coupling Configuration
User Manual Managed Switches For copper-based Gigabit Ethernet connections the link loss detection is not used as trigger for ring topology change due to the physical design, as a link loss recognition takes a time of several hundred millisecond. Instead, for copper-based Gigabit Ethernet connections control packets are sent cyclic to achieve the fast recovery time of 30ms (Method 2). -
Page 24: Dual Homing Configuration
User Manual Managed Switches methods (Physical link change detection and/or Cyclic sending of control packets every 10ms) the coupling backup line will be activated (including a topology change) after around 30 ms. NOTE: Only for two switches of an O-Ring network one coupling port may be enabled. 3.5.2.3 Dual Homing Configuration Dual Homing provides a redundant connection between an O-Ring network and an RSTP network. - Page 25 User Manual Managed Switches 1. Select Enabled in field Ring Redundancy. 2. If only a redundancy with 1 ring shall be created then do following: • Activate checkbox ‘Set as Ring Master’ if the switch shall be assigned as ring master For O-Ring configuration one switch needs to be configured as Ring Master.

Recovery time for O-Chain connected to an RSTP network For a connection to an RSTP network the overall time for topology update after the chain is broken can be estimated as the calculated healing time of the used RSTP redundancy settings plus around 30 milliseconds for chain topology update.

This is particularly important for networks that have a complicated architecture, since unintended loops in the network can cause broadcast storms. Weidmüller switches’...

Page 31: How Stp Works
User Manual Managed Switches If STP is enabled, it will detect duplicate paths and prevent, or block, one of the paths from forwarding traffic. In the following example, STP determined that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through bridges C and A since this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient. - Page 32 User Manual Managed Switches • All bridges must be able to communicate with each other. The communication is carried out using Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), which are transmitted in packets with a known multicast address. • Each bridge must have a Bridge Identifier that specifies which bridge acts as the central reference point, or Root Bridge, for the STP system—bridges with a lower Bridge Identifier are more likely to be designated as the Root Bridge.
- Page 33 User Manual Managed Switches has ceased to function. This will trigger the bridge to reconfigure the network to account for the change. If you have configured an SNMP trap destination, when the topology of your network changes, the first bridge to detect the change will send out an SNMP trap. Differences between STP and RSTP RSTP is similar to STP, but includes additional information in the BPDUs that allow each bridge to confirm that it has taken action to prevent loops from forming when it decides to enable a link to a...

Page 35: Information Rstp
User Manual Managed Switches The root of the Spanning Tree topology periodically sends out a “hello” message to other devices on the Numerical value network to check if the topology is healthy. The “hello input by user time” is the amount of time the root waits between sending hello messages. -
