Ring Type—select the BLSR ring type, either two-fiber or four-fiber.
Ring ID—Assign a ring ID (a number between 0 and 9999). Nodes in the same BLSR must have the
same Ring ID.
Node ID—Assign a Node ID. The Node ID identifies the node to the BLSR. Nodes in the same
BLSR must have unique Node IDs.
Reversion time—Set the amount of time that will pass before the traffic reverts to the original
working path. The default is 5 minutes. All nodes in a BLSR ring should have the same reversion
time setting, particularly if "never" (i.e., non-revertive) is selected.
West Port—Assign the west BLSR port for the node from the pull-down menu. (In
is Slot 5.)
3-12. After you configure the timing you can provision the BLSR.
