Cascading AutoView 2020/2030 Switches
You can cascade multiple AutoView 2020/2030 switches, enabling one or two users to connect to
up to 256 servers. In a cascaded system, each ARI port on the main AutoView 2020/2030 switch
will connect to the ACI port on each cascaded AutoView 2020/2030/2000/1500/1400 switch. Each
cascaded switch can then be connected to a server with an AVRIQ or IAC module.
up to 256 servers. In a cascaded system, each ARI port on the main AutoView 2020/2030 switch
will connect to the ACI port on each cascaded AutoView 2020/2030/2000/1500/1400 switch. Each
cascaded switch can then be connected to a server with an AVRIQ or IAC module.
The example in Figure 2.3 shows one AutoView 2020/2030 switch cascaded under the main
switch, enabling the connection of up to 15 primary servers and 16 secondary servers. Only one
level of cascading is supported in this type of configuration; you cannot cascade additional legacy
or AutoView 2020/2030 switches.
