The Ring Statistics Screen

Wrap-AB - The flow of the primary ring is entering through port A (primary in) and is wrapped by the MAC, causing the ring to exit through port A (secondary out). The MAC has also wrapped port B, causing the flow of the ring to enter through port B (secondary in) and exit through port B (primary out). The HSIM-F6 MAC Configuration can read “Wrap-AB” if the HSIM-F6 is in a dual homed configuration.
