The NMM provides a pair of redundant ports to daisy chain (cascade) up to 19 chassis providing single IP address management.

Multi-Chassis Configuration

To configure a set of chassis for a multi-chassis configuration, the following requirements must be followed:

•Only one NMM per chassis

•No other management modules can be installed in the chassis (i.e. 10/100M, GX/TM, etc.)

•Each NMM must have a unique chassis number (see Section 3.4.1.3)

•Remote OAM must be disabled (see Section 3.4.3.2)
