Chapter 4 Daisy-chaining Multiple Director Chassis

This chapter describes how to expand the capacity of Director by daisy-chaining multiple Director chassis. The complete set of chassis becomes a single logical system with up to 380 total ports. By using long-reach ER links, chassis can be physically separated by as much as 25 miles (40 kilometers), enabling monitoring of entire campuses or multiple campuses with a single Director system.

Daisy-chaining chassis is not supported in the initial release of Director. This chapter will be expanded when daisy‑chain functionality becomes available.
