Abstract
A Distributed Ring Protocol (DRiP) arrangement includes a database and protocol for maintaining and distributing information within a distributed token ring (TR) bridge having a logical switch fabric that is distributed over a TR switching network of switches interconnected by trunk links, such as Inters witch Link (ISL) trunks. The DRiP information is used by switches within the ISL switched fabric to determine the status (configured and/or activated) and association (within a switch) of ports of the distributed bridge.
