NOTES:
1. N-Ring Manager cannot have RSTP or Trunking enabled.
2. RSTP & N-Ring are different modes and cannot share links or segments along those lines.
See the examples in the RSTP configuration section.
3. Do not use Trunking on a switch that is directly in an active N-Ring.
4. Any one 7014 can only participate in one N-Ring.
N-Ring copper ports must be run at 100Mb full duplex, including the default 'autonegotiate' as
5.
long as all switches in the ring support 100Mb full duplex.
The "N-Ring Mode" is one of three, as below:
If N-Ring Mode is "Manager", then a pull-down allows selection as available of ports P11 and P12, or GB1
and GB2 as N-Ring ports if GB1 and GB2 are populated. Otherwise only P11 and P12 will be offered as a
selection.
