To configure the ring protection using the ISW-Series management switch:
-
Log in to the console with the admin account.
-
Go to Configure mode by executing: configure terminal
-
Go to configure ring protection group by executing: ringv2 protect group1
-
Before configuring the ring, you must disable ring protection status by executing: mode disable
-
Set all necessary parameters:
For Node 1 and Node 2, choose the ports that
you connect with other switch. For example, choose PORT-1 and PORT-2 that means
PORT-1 is one of the ports connected with other switch, so is PORT-2. Then choose one
of ring connection devices be “Master” that can accept the “Node 2 port” and be the
blocking
port.
node1 interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
node2 interface GigabitEthernet 1/2
role ring-master
-
To finish, enable ring
protection status by executing command: mode
enable

Important
Note the status of

Example
In the following example of a dual-ring topology, the support LAG ports are
configured for ring
node1 and
node2.
(config-ringv2-group1)#
(config-ringv2-group1)#node1 aggregation group <LAG group ID>
(config-ringv2-group1)#node2 aggregation group <LAG group ID>
