Further to Chris's excellent explanation (couldnt resist adding my 0.2 $)
- If you have 2 ports (on different routers) who want to be on the same
ring, you create 1 x TrCRF, 1 x TrBRF, assign the TrCRF to this parent TrBRF
and assign the 2 x ports to this TrCRF
- If you want the 2 ports (on diff. routers again) to belong to different
ring, connected via 'same' bridge (or rather bridge between them), create 1
x TrBRF, 2 x TrCRF, assign the ports to these 2 (different) TrCRF's
- If you want the 2 ports to be completely isolated from each other (so that
you will need to route between them), create 2 x TrBRF, 2 x TrCRF, and
assign both the ports to different TrCRF, and both the TrCRF;s to different
TrBRF's
