22 Using the Ring Protocol with Spanning Tree Protocols/GSRP
22.2 Using the Ring Protocol with GSRP
The Switch cannot use the Ring Protocol together with GSRP. However, if a switch that can
use the Ring Protocol together with GSRP (such as AX2400S, AX3600S, and AX6700S
series switches) exists in the ring, the Switch can be in the ring configuration as a transit
node.
22.2.1 Operational overview
Fault monitoring and path switching for when a fault occurs are performed independently
by the Ring Protocol on ring networks and by GSRP on GSRP networks. However,
switches that switch to the master during path switching on a GSRP network clear the MAC
address table for GSRP switches and aware/unaware switches. At the same time, a flush
control frame for the ring network is sent to clear the MAC address tables of switches
configuring the ring network.
The following figure shows an example of the Ring Protocol and GSRP being used
together.
