Tiering The
Avocent iKVM Switch From A Digital KVM Switch
The iKVM
module may also be tiered from a digital KVM switch such as the Dell
2161DS-2 or 4161DS, or a supported Avocent digital KVM switch. Many
switches may be tiered without the need for a Server Interface Pod
(SIP).
The cabling requirements for various external digital
KVM switches are as follows:
Dell PowerConnect 2161DS, 4161DS, 2161DS-2, 2321DS (version
1.3.40.0 or later) or Avocent DSR x02x (except 1024), x03x (version
3.6 or later): Seamless tiering using ACI port and Cat 5 cable
Avocent DSR 800, x16x, x010, 1024: Avocent USB SIP (DSRIQ-USB)
with Cat 5 cable
To tier the iKVM module from a Dell 2161DS, 180AS, or 2160AS
console switch:
If the switch does not require a SIP to connect to the iKVM , connect a Cat 5 (or newer) cable to the RJ-45 ACI port on the
iKVM module. Connect the other end of this cable to the ARI port
on the external switch.
If the switch requires a USB SIP, connect an Avocent USB
SIP to the iKVM, then connect a Cat 5 (or newer) cable to the SIP.
Connect the other end of this cable to the ARI port on the external
switch.
Once the KVM switch is connected, the server modules are
displayed in OSCAR.
NOTE: You must also re-synchronize
the server list from the Remote Console Switch software to view the
list of blades.
