Modify button appears, allowing you to assign the appropriate number of
ports to it.

When the AutoView 1000R/2000R appliance discovers a cascade switch, you
will notice the numbering format change from being an ARI port only to [ARI
port]-[switch port] to accommodate each server under that switch.
For example, if a switch is connected to ARI port 6, each server connected to it
would be numbered sequentially. The server using ARI port 6, switch port 1
would be 06-01, the server using ARI port 6, switch port 2 would be 06-02, and
so on.
