Dual Root
With Dual Root two KM0532/KM0932 switches can discover and synchronize
their databases, extending support to 18 Console Modules. A Dual Root setup
also allows 2nd and 3rd level cascading for increased control of up to 1024
servers, administered by a Dual Root 18 Console Module setup.
Setting up a Dual Root installation requires a combination of two KM0532/
KM0932 switches connected to a LAN. To setup Dual Root, refer to the Dual
Root Layer 1 Installation diagram on
page 49, and do the following:
Note: 1. Dual Root functionality is only supported on switches with
firmware versions of 1.4.136 and older.
2. The firmware version of all KM0532/KM0932 in a Dual Root
setup should match the firmware version of the KM0532/
KM0932 Master Unit.
1. Setup two Single Level Installation KM0532/KM0932 Switches and
connect them to the LAN (
See Single Level Installation, page 20).
2. Configure both KM0532/KM0932 Switches with valid IP Addresses,
accessible on your network (See IP Address, page 56).
3. Designate a KM0532/KM0932 Switch as the Dual Root Master, and the
other as the Dual Root Slave.
4. Note the Dual Root Master Switch’s IP Address to configure on the Dual
Root Slave Switch.
5. Login to the Dual Root Slave Switch via Console UI or Browser UI
(See Logging In, page 37).
6. From the Device Management Tab, under Root Device Settings- check the:
Dual Root Slave checkbox (See Dual Root Slave, page 47).
7. Enter the Dual Root Master IP Address (See Dual Root Master IP,
page 47).
8. Click Save, and the system will reset.
