Black Box 1102, 1101 Cascaded Ports, UPS Connections, # config -s config.cascade.slaves.total=1

Chapter 14: Configuration from the Command Line

The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:

#config -r serialconfig

14.8Cascaded Ports

To add a new slave device with the following settings:

IP address/DNS name	192.168.0.153
Description	Console in office 42
Label	les1102-2
Number of ports	2

The following commands must be issued:

#config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.address=192.168.0.153

#config -s "config.cascade.slaves.slave1.description=CM in office 42"

#config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.label=les1102-2

#config -s config.cascade.slaves.slave1.ports=2

The total number of slaves must also be incremented. If this is the first slave you’re adding, type:

# config -s config.cascade.slaves.total=1

Increment this value when adding more slaves.

NOTE: If a slave is added using the CLI, then the master SSH public key will need to be manually copied to every slave device before cascaded ports will work (refer to Chapter 6).

The following command will synchronize the live system with the new configuration:

# config -r cascade
