How to configure Turbo Ring with DIP switches?
Turbo Ring redundancy protocol can be quickly configured using DIP switches located on a switch body.
According to the switch default settings, Turbo Ring V2 protocol gets activated if the DIP switch 4 is set to the ON position. In the settings, you can change the default protocol version or disable DIP switches completely.
The default ports at configuring Turbo Ring with DIP switches:
| Default port 1 | Default port 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Series EDS-400A Series EDS-505A/508A/516A | Second to last port | Last port |
| Series EDS-518A | Port G1 | Port G2 |
| Series EDS-510A | Port G2 | Port G3 |
| Series EDS-608/616 | 3rd port in last module | 4th port in last module |
| Series EDS-611/619 | Port G2 | Port G3 |
| Series EDS-728/828 | Port 1-1 | Port 1-2 |
| Series IKS-6726 | without Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-1 with Gigabit Ethernet module: port 4-1 | without Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-2 with Gigabit Ethernet module: port 4-2 |
| Series IKS-G6524/G6824 Series ICS-G7526/G7528/ G7826/G7828 | Second to last port | Last port |
| Series TN-5500/TN-5500A Series TN-5800 | Second to last Fast Ethernet port | Last Fast Ethernet port |
Default ports at configuring Dual Homing with DIP switches:
| Dual Homing default port (Primary) | Dual Homing default port (Backup) | |
|---|---|---|
| Series EDS-400A Series EDS-505A/508A/516A | 4th port of last module | 3rd port of last module |
| Series EDS-518A | Port 15 | Port 16 |
| Series EDS-510A | Port G1 | Port G2 |
| Series EDS-608/616 | 1st port of 1st module | 2nd port of 1st module |
| Series EDS-611/619 | Port G1 | last port of last module |
| Series EDS-728/828 | N/A | N/A |
| Series IKS-6726 | without Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-5 with Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-3 | without Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-6 with Gigabit Ethernet module: port 1-4 |
| Series IKS-G6524/G6824 Series ICS-G7526/G7528/ G7826/G7828 | 4th port in last module | 3rd port in last module |
| Series TN-5500/TN-5500A Series TN-5800 | 1st port | 2nd port |
Note: To set Master and Counter DIP switches in ON position, turn on Turbo Ring function first.
Note: If you do not assign any of the devices to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the switch with the smallest MAC address to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally assign more than one EDS-408A/405A devices to be the RingMaster, one of them will be automatically determined as the Ring Master.
Note: If the DIP switch 4 (Turbo Ring) is in ON position, you will not be able to disable the Turbo Ring DIP switch from a web interface, a console, or Telnet.
Note: If you want to enable VLAN and/or Port Trunking on any of the last four ports, do not use DIP switch 4 for Turbo Ring activation. In this case, you must use Web, Telnet, or a console.
