Viewing a MRP ring
10
The Management application obtains MRP status by monitoring the MRP traps that devices send.
These traps are reported in the Master Log. Make sure MRP traps are enabled on the devices that
are members of an MRP ring. For the MRP Status to display correctly, you must discover a proper
ring through the Management application. If the link (edge) or a device (Vertex) is missing, the
status does not display correctly; however, the feature may work.
MRP ring status is defined by specific rules and represented by one of the following icons:
