How to Ensure The Application Effect of Ring Network Switch

Ring network switch is a special kind of switch. Because the mainstream ring network switches are Industrial Switches, they can generally be called industrial ring network switches. So, what is an industrial ring network switch?

Ring network, as its name implies, is a closed network cycle. It is different from ordinary Ethernet switches. Once a ring is formed, a broadcast storm will occur. A link on the ring network is disconnected, which will not affect the transmission of data on the network. Therefore, the ring network structure has its own advantages, such as redundancy and reliability.

Ring network switches can form a ring network. Each switch has two ports for ring formation. The switches form a ring network topology by hand in hand. The advantage of its construction is that when a link on the ring network is disconnected, the data forwarding on the network will not be affected. Therefore, ring network switches are introduced in many industrial communication fields. The ring network switch adopts some special technologies to avoid the broadcast storm, and at the same time, it realizes the reliability of the ring network.

Redundant topology of ring network switch:

Each network port of the ring network switch supports the ring network, which can form a single ring, multi ring redundant ring network structure, without any tedious settings, and is fully intelligent plug and play. When any point on the ring is disconnected, the normal operation of the entire network will not be affected, and the redundancy and reliability of industrial network operation will be met.

How to ensure the application effect of ring network switch

Although the ring network switch has its own advantages, to ensure the application effect of the ring network switch, we must do the following:

1. Early selection of ring network switches should be careful

Whether the quality of the ring network switch meets the standard will directly affect the actual scene. In other words, when we do not select the ring network switches properly, we are likely to encounter unqualified products. Based on practical considerations, we must carefully implement its type selection and control several decisive indicators.

2. The installation and control process of the ring network switch shall comply with the regulations

Whether the installation and control process corresponding to the ring network switch are compliant is also the key point we should consider. The compliance process will get twice the result with half the effort. If the control is biased, it will damage some parts of the ring network switch, greatly interfere with the function of the ring network switch, and is not conducive to application.

3. Follow up the follow-up maintenance of the ring network switch

Some customers believe that as long as they buy high-quality ring network switches, the next step will be very easy, and no other matters need to be considered. However, it is unknown that the lack of maintenance will also have adverse consequences on the effectiveness of the ring network switch. We should pay attention to this and put the maintenance process in place.

When we can implement the above processes, the application effect of the ring network switch will not be too bad, and the whole operation process will be controlled by us. If we find that the effect is not satisfactory after maintenance, we need to carefully check whether there are problems in the early stages, and correct them in time to reduce losses.
