4. Serial Port, Host, Device and User Conﬁguration

4.6.3 Conﬁgure the Secondary Units and their Serial Ports

To begin setting up the Secondary units and conﬁguring Secondary serial ports from the Primary console server:

• Select Serial & Network: Cascaded Ports on the Primary unit’s management console:

• To add clustering support, select Add Slave (Secondary).

Note: You will be prevented from adding any Secondary units until you have automatically or manually generated SSH keys:

To deﬁne and conﬁgure a Secondary console server:

• Enter the remote IP Address (or DNS Name) for the Secondary console server.

• Enter a brief Description and a short Label for the Secondary unit (use a convention here that enables effective

management of large networks of clustered console servers and the connected devices).

• Enter the full number of serial ports on the Secondary unit in Number of Ports.

• Click Apply. This will establish the SSH tunnel between the Primary unit and the new Secondary unit.

The Serial & Network: Cascaded Ports menu displays all Secondary units and port numbers that have been allocated on

the Primary unit. For example, if the Primary console server has 16 ports of its own, then ports 1-16 are pre-allocated to the

Primary unit. As a result, the ﬁrst Secondary unit added will be assigned port number 17.

Once you have added all the Secondary console servers, the Secondary’s serial ports and the connected devices are

conﬁgurable and accessible from the Primary unit’s management console menu, accessible through the Primary’s IP address.

• Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Serial Port and Edit to conﬁgure the serial ports on the Secondary unit.

• Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Users & Groups to add new users with access privileges to the Secondary unit’s

serial ports (or to extend existing users access privileges).

• Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Trusted Networks to specify network addresses that can access assigned

Secondary serial ports.

• Select the appropriate Alerts & Logging: Alerts to conﬁgure Secondary port Connection, State Change or Pattern Match

alerts.

• The conﬁguration changes made on the Primary unit are propagated out to all the Secondary units when you click Apply.
