X-Ring provides network redundancy similar to the Spanning Tree and

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocols. However, recovery time is greatly reduced

when the X-Ring protocol is used. The protocol identifies one switch as the

Ring Master. Packets are blocked from the redundant path unless a ring

member becomes disconnected from the rest of the network. When this

happens, the protocol automatically restores connectivity using the

redundant path.

In the X-Ring topology, every switch should enable X-Ring function and

assign two member ports to the ring. Only one switch in the X-Ring group

would be set as the backup switch. Other switches are called working

switches and their two member ports are called working ports. If a network
