22 Using the Ring Protocol with Spanning Tree Protocols/GSRP
22.1 Using the Ring Protocol with Spanning Tree Protocols
The Switch cannot use the Ring Protocol together with a Spanning Tree Protocol. However,
if a switch that can use the Ring Protocol together with a Spanning Tree Protocol (such as
AX2400S, AX3600S, and AX6700S series switches) exists in the ring, the Switch can be in
the ring configuration as a transit node.
22.1.1 Overview
The figures below show examples of the Switches included as transit nodes in the single
ring configuration and multi-ring configuration in which a switch that can use the Ring
Protocol together with a Spanning Tree Protocol exists. Switches A/F/G, B/E/H, and C/D/I
each comprise a Spanning Tree topology. The Ring Protocol and Spanning Tree Protocol
are used at the same time for switches A to D. Switches and use the Ring Protocol (as
transit nodes) only.
