Configuring “Turbo Ring V2”
NOTE When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2.
In this case, the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.”
Explanation of “Current Status” Items
Now Active
Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none.
Ring 1/2—Status
Shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is
active.
Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
Indicates whether or not this EDS is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when
selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)
NOTE The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring
protocol will assign master status to one of the EDS units in the ring. The master is only used to
determine which segment serves as the backup path.
Ring 1/2—1st Ring Port Status
Ring 1/2—2nd Ring Port Statu
The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if this port is
connected to a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
