ECIS4500 series support E-Ring – How to configure E-Ring (Coupling)? Follow
The network topology and configuration show as below.
Coupling topology:
Caution:
Please do not connect the Ethernet cable before finishing configuration of Coupling.
Configuration:
1. Since ring protection is a media redundancy protocol (IEC 62439-2), please disable any other anti-loop protection.
1-1 Disable Spanning-Tree on all ports: (It’s enabled by default)
1-2 Disable Loop Protection on all ports: (It’s disabled by default)
2. Configure Coupling on all switches.
- Master of Ring (switch A):
- Slave of Ring (switch B):
- Slave of Ring + Backup of Ring Coupling (switch C):
- Slave of Ring + Primary of Ring Coupling (switch D):
Caution:
There are 2 types of Coupling ring port:
- Primary port: primary path of ring coupling.
- Backup port: backup path of ring coupling
3. Connect Ethernet cables.
Caution: backup port of coupling switch always blocked by default. ( no link failure)
4. Check the Coupling status:
- Master of Ring (switch A):
- Slave of Ring (switch B):
- Slave of Ring + Backup of Ring Coupling (switch C):
- Slave of Ring + Primary of Ring Coupling (switch D):
The status on each switch when link fails:
- Master of Ring (switch A): No impact on switch A.
- Slave of Ring (switch B): No impact on switch B.
- Slave of Ring + Backup of Ring Coupling (switch C):
The state of port 3 is changed from blocking to forwarding.
- Slave of Ring + Primary of Ring Coupling (switch D): Port 3 link down.
