Network Application
X-Ring Application
This switch incorporates the X-Ring Protocol to ensure network reliability
and system restoration within 300 ms in the event of a connection failure.
The X-Ring algorithm is similar to the spanning tree protocol (STP)
algorithm but it has faster recovery time. The following figure below is an
example of an X-Ring application.
