Virtual Ports
NOTE: VirtualPortsisavailable onlyfor IPv4protocol.
The virtual ports form allows you to perform clustering of the console server. The console
server clustering is designed to allow a large number of serial ports (up to 1024) to be
configured and virtually accessed through one IP address.
NOTE: Clusteringonlyworksfor portsthatareconfigured asCASprofile.
You can use one console server as the master to control other console servers as slaves. The
ports on the slave unit(s) appear as if they are part of the master.
NOTE: MultipleIPDUsshouldonlybeconnectedand daisy-chainedthroughthe serialport of themaster console
server whenyouareconfiguringa cluster.
This section shows you how to define and configure the slaves.
The following table describes the fields available in the Virtual Ports New/Modify Port dialog
