Moxa White PaperMoxa <strong>Turbo</strong> <strong>Chain</strong>some drawbacks to ring redundancy. Interoperability is achallenge because redundant ring technologies are proprietaryto individual suppliers. In addition, ring redundancy onlysupports limited rings in a single switch.Figure 3: Example of ring redundancy<strong>Turbo</strong> <strong>Chain</strong>: A <strong>New</strong> <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Beyond</strong> Redundant RingMoxa’s <strong>Turbo</strong> <strong>Chain</strong>improves on existing ringtechnology and is robustand easy to install.Moxa’s <strong>Turbo</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> is an advanced redundancy technology thatsolves the inflexible topologies of mesh networking, the slowrecovery time of STP/RSTP, and the limited interoperability orrestricted rings of ring redundancy.Using the innovative “chain” concept, network administratorscan flexibly create any type of redundant topology among anynetwork segment. <strong>Turbo</strong> <strong>Chain</strong> works by connecting several<strong>Ethernet</strong> switches together to form a daisy-chain, where aHead-Switch and a Tail-Switch (the edge switches at the twosides of the chain) are configured first, then the remainingswitches are configured as member switches. Next, simply linkthe 2 ends of the chain to an <strong>Ethernet</strong> network, and then thesetup is done. A brief illustration is shown on Figure 4.Copyright © 2009 Moxa Inc. Page 5 of 11
