State

Current state of the CRF. Possible values are Operational and Suspended. CRFs in operational state are functional. CRFs in suspended state do not pass packets. The default is operational.

Ring Number

Logical ring number assigned to this CRF. Possible hexadecimal values are auto and OX001 through OXFFF. The default is auto, meaning that the ring number will be learned. If the ring number has been learned, the learned ring number will be prefixed with A.

➽Note: Forwarding of frames between CRFs in SRB mode is only possible, if the CRFs know their ring numbers. If you are running the switch in an environment without other bridges/switches, learning of ring numbers is not possible. Hence manual configuration of ring numbers is required.
