Speed

Sets the MS-SPRing ring speed. Valid entries are:

The speed must match the STM speed of the MS-SPRing trunk cards installed on the nodes you want to include in the MS-SPRing.

Ring Name

Sets the MS-SPRing name. The name can have up to six alphanumeric characters, 0 to 9, A to Z (case insensitive). The ring name cannot be "all" because "all" is used in the RTRV-BLSR/MSSPR command to return all existing MS-SPRings.)
