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.
