N-Ring - Configuration
The Configuration tab under the N-Ring category will display the N-Ring basic configuration settings. By
default N-Ring is in AutoMember mode and the N-Ring agingtime is 20 seconds.
Following the Modify button on the previous page, the administrator will see a list of configurable fields for
the N-Ring configuration, as below.
The N-Ring Agingtime has a default of 20 seconds and is separate from the Bridging Aging Time. N-Ring
Aging time is used for the whole switch if the switch is an N-Ring Manager or becomes an active N-Ring
Member, and in either case N-Ring status includes for example:
“Switch is currently using N-Ring Aging Time = 20 Seconds”
Once these fields are filled in to meet the needs of the administrator’s network the changes may be saved by
clicking the Update button at the bottom of the page.
