NT24k, NT7000
N-Ring Multi-Member configured device behaves similarly to an N-Ring Auto Member except that it is always in an active member state. Each ring the Multi-Member supports will require a membership that binds an existing port set with a specific VLAN. The following screens from the NT24k show how a membership is defined and accessed.
By default, there are no existing memberships by default.
At least one membership must exist in order to set Multi-Member mode.
Each membership binds an existing port set with a VLAN and must have a unique one-to-one correspondence.
Like the N-Ring Manager configuration, some VLANs are predefined based on the N-Ring number. Custom N-Ring number can be used to specify non-predefined VLANs.
Like the NT24k, only use of tagged N-Ring frames is allowed.
When the current N-Ring mode is not Multi-Member, existing memberships can be modified.
When the current N-Ring mode is Multi-Member, existing memberships can only be deleted. The last membership cannot be deleted in Multi-Member mode.
Cannot add more memberships than the maximum number of port sets or whatever the maximum is determined to be.
When we create Multi-Member ring membership records on the NT24k, the VLAN is added to the switch and is also added to the ports in that port set (see screenshot below).
