I have number of Rack Pdus (AP8853,AP8886) connected with the feature Network Port Sharing..

 In the user guide it shows that the pdu group connected together have to be the same firmware and 10 meters max. between the first pdu to the last one for the cabling.

I would like to know

1) If these two Pdu Part numbers are in the same family so its no technically any proplem connecting both of them using the feature of the network port sharing ?

2) the 10 meters rule is a very important restriction and should not exceed this meters?

3) for the DCE server the 4 PDU group will be showed and added as a 1 node (as the master IP is also the IP of others) or each Pdu will be added as a node also. ?

Hi!

1. If rPDU have the same version of firmware they should work fine.
2. Cabling can be more than 10 meters, but there is no guarantee that connectivity between devices will be stable.
3. DCE will show group as one node
