When the AutoView appliance discovers a cascade switch, you will notice the
port numbering change to accommodate each server under that switch. For
example, if the switch is connected to ARI port 6, the switch port would be
listed as 06 and each server under it would be numbered sequentially 06-01,
06-02 and so on.
To assign a device type:
1. In the Devices dialog box, select the desired port number.
2. Click Modify. The Device Modify dialog box appears.

5. Click OK in the Devices dialog box to save settings.
NOTE: Changes made in the Device Modify dialog box are not saved until you click OK in the
Devices dialog box.
