28.7.5 Configurations with mixed node types for shared nodes

In a multi-ring configuration with shared links, nodes place at both ends of a shared link can run as master nodes. In this case, the primary port of the master node is always the ring port of the shared link, regardless of the data transfer VLAN group. Therefore, this configuration does not allow load balancing based on setting two data transfer VLAN groups.
