Node Id

For each node in the ring, a unique node ID identifies each node. The node ID is the node's MAC address. You can configure this node ID when configuring the ring on the node or automatically select an ID such as STP. In most cases, you will not configure this and the router will select a node ID, like STP does. It should be the manufacturing MAC address. The ring node ID should not be changed, even if you change the manufacturing MAC address. Any MAC address can be used if you make sure each node in the ring has a different node ID.
