4.6.3 Configure the Slaves and their serial ports

You can now begin setting up the Slaves and configuring Slave serial ports from the Master Console Server:

Select Serial & Network: Cascaded Ports on the Master’s Management Console

To add clustering support select Add Slave

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

To define and configure a Slave:

Enter the remote IP Address (or DNS Name) for the Slave Console Server

Enter a brief Description and a short Label for the Slave (use a convention that enables effective management of large networks of clustered Console Servers and the connected devices)

Enter the full number of serial ports on the Slave unit in Number of Ports

Click Apply. This will establish the SSH tunnel between the Master and the new Slave

The Serial & Network: Cascaded Ports menu displays all the Slaves and the port numbers that have been allocated on the Master. If the Master Console Server has 16 ports of its own, then ports 1-16 are pre-allocated to the Master. So the first Slave added will be assigned port number 17 and onwards.

Once you have added all the Slave Console Servers, the Slave serial ports and the connected devices are configurable and accessible from the Master’s Management Console menu, and accessible through the Master’s IP address.

Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Serial Port and Edit to configure the serial ports on the Slave

Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Users & Groups to add new users with access privileges to the Slave serial ports (or to extend existing users access privileges)

Select the appropriate Serial & Network: Trusted Networks to specify network addresses that can access nominated Slave serial ports

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

The configuration changes made on the Master are propagated out to all the Slaves when you click Apply.
