QS.5.2 Configuring the Multilink switch for Ring Only Mode

This feature can be only be used when the switches are connected to form a single ring topology which means that only two ports per switch are used to form the ring and all other ports will not be part of another ring. Note that RSTP and Ring-only mode support a maximum of 18 switches. RO mode has typical recovery time of ≤ 5 ms/hop.
