Abstract:
According to an example method, it is determined that a first network node in a ring network is claimed by a first managing device and a second network node in the ring network is claimed by a second managing device. The ring network includes a single link to a customer network. The second network node is then isolated from the first network node. A separate linear network is formed including the second network node. Upon reset of the second network node to an unclaimed status, the second network node is claimed by the first managing device.

Claim (Index 9):
A first network node in a ring network having a ring protection owner, comprising\n a data storage to store a first claimed device identifier for the first network node, wherein the first claimed device identifier identifies a managing device; ports to send and receive messages in the ring network; and a hardware controller to:\n compare a second claimed device identifier in a status message received from a second network node to the first claimed device identifier; \n isolate the second network node from the first network node if the second claimed device identifier identifies a different managing device than the first claimed device identifier, wherein isolating the second network device causes the second network device to form a separate linear network with a separate link to a customer network and a separate ring protection link owner.
