Setting the Cascading Mode
A maximum of 16 Legrand PDUs can be cascaded to share one Ethernet connection. See
Cascading
Multiple Legrand PDUs for Sharing Ethernet Connectivity
The cascading mode configured on the master device determines the Ethernet sharing method, which is
either network bridging or port forwarding. See
Overview of the Cascading Modes
(on page 152).
The cascading mode of all devices in the chain must be the same.
Only a user with the Change Network Settings permission can configure the cascading mode.
Note: Legrand PDU in the Port Forwarding mode does not support APIPA. See
APIPA and Link-Local
Addressing
(on page 16).
To configure the cascading mode:
1. Connect the device you will cascade to the LAN and find its IP address, or connect it to a computer.
For computer connection instructions, see
Connecting the Legrand PDU to a Computer
(on page
To find the IP address, see
Device Info
(on page 70).
2. Log in to its web interface. See
Login
(on page 79).
3. Choose Device Settings > Network.
4. Select the preferred mode in the Cascading Mode field.
