◆ Only one RPL owner can be configured on a ring. The owner blocks
traffic on the RPL during Idle state, and unblocks it during Protection
state (that is, when a signal fault is detected on the ring).
◆ The east and west connections to the ring must be specified for all ring
nodes using the ring-port command. When this switch is configured as
the RPL owner, the west ring port is set as being connected to the RPL.

If the switch goes into ring protection state due to a signal failure, after the

timer and wait until it expires to verify that the ring has stabilized before
blocking the RPL and returning to the Idle (normal operating) state.
