Cascaded Configurations
Cascading, also called tiering, is the ability to connect one or more switches under a single switch at the top as in a pyramid. Cascading
allows an administrator to access larger numbers of servers from a single local or remote console. The HP IP Console Switch G2 with
Virtual Media & CAC will support up to 2 levels of tiering under certain conditions
HP IP Console Switch G2 can now be on the second tier.of a cascaded configuration.
HP IP Console SwitchG2 with Virtual Media may be cascaded to HP Server Console Switches with Virtual Media or any Cat5 based
HP Server Console Switches by connecting a Cat5 cable from a server port on the top switch to the dedicated tiering port on the
switch below. Interface adapters are not needed to cascade HP Server Console Switches.
Virtual media can be mapped to servers on any tier but only if the server is connected to a HP Server Console Switch with Virtual
Media using a Virtual Media Interface Adapter. Virtual media operation requires a Virtual Media Interface Adapter connected to a
HP Console Switch with Virtual Media.
An HP IP Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media & CAC can not be cascaded under a legacy Cat5 based HP Server Console Switch.
To perform a firmware upgrade for a cascaded HP Server Console Switch G2 with Virtual Media and all attached Interface
Adapters; you must connect to the cascaded HP Server Console Switch G2 On Board Web Interface (OBWI).
