Cisco Industrial Switch Ring Network Configuration
In this demo, learn how to configure Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) rings on supported switches to create fast-converging, fault-tolerant Layer 2 networks. REP provides a robust alternative to Spanning Tree Protocol for industrial or ring-base. moreDevice Level Ring (DLR) is a Layer 2 protocol that enables redundancy in a ring topology, providing fast network fault detection and reconfiguration for industrial networks. The IE 3100 and IE 2000 switches selected in the Johnson Controls® catalog as access switches can be configured to manage rings using Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP). Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) is a collection of architected, tested, and validated designs. The testing and validation follow the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) and Cisco Reference Design (CRD) methodologies. The Cisco implementation of TCP header compression is an adaptation of a program developed by the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) as part of UCB's public domain version of the UNIX operating system.
