Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a network entity on a ring network. In an example, a method includes receiving a first packet by a first network entity via a ring network. It is determined from the first packet that the ring network has a plurality of management entities each claiming a respective network entity. Based on the ring network having the plurality of management entities each claiming the respective network entity, the first network entity is transitioned from an unclaimed state to a dummyclaim state, and the first network entity is isolated from a portion of the ring network.
