In L=Q2​(2​), set π=2​ and normalize vL​(π)=1, so vL​(2)=2. The two terms of a+bπ have valuations of opposite parity, giving OL​=Z2​⊕Z2​π. The nonidentity automorphism sends π to −π, and vL​(−2π)=3. The lower ramification numbering therefore gives the displayed groups. The different exponent is three.
