MS-SPRing (Network View)
Use the network view MS-SPRing tab to view information about network multiplex section-shared protection rings (MS-SPRings), including the ring name, ring type (two-fiber or four-fiber), status, names of nodes in the MS-SPRing, and any active ring or span reversions. You can also create, delete, and edit MS-SPRings and convert two-fiber MS-SPRings to four-fiber MS-SPRings.
