The Ethernet ring can only have one element configured as an RPL owner and one element configured as an RPL neighbor. This is configured using the element’s Ring Protection Link Type parameter. The parameter values specified in Step 3 are initially populated in the Ethernet Ring Element form when creating a ring element from the Components tab, however, you can change these as required. Only one endpoint within the entire Ethernet ring must have its Ring Protection Link Type parameter configured as Ring Protection Link End. All other endpoints in the Ethernet ring must have this parameter set to Normal.
