Abstract
Examples associated with ring network uplink designation are disclosed. One example includes detecting an operable connection between a member of a ring network and an external network. The operable connection may be detected by the member of the ring network. A signal is provided to a ring network management daemon. The signal may indicate the member of the ring network has the operable connection to the external network. A signal is received from the ring network management daemon. The signal may designate the ring network as an active uplink to the external network. The operable connection between the ring network and the external network is activated. Once activated, the operable connection may facilitate communication between members of the ring network and the external network.
