Promoting a cascading standby terminates the immediate downstream replication
connections which it serves. This is because the timeline becomes different
between standbys, and they can no longer continue replication. The
- effected standby(s) may reconnect to reestablish streaming replication.

To use cascading replication, set up the cascading standby so that it can
- accept replication connections, i.e., set <varname>max_wal_senders</>,
- <varname>hot_standby</> and authentication option (see
- <xref linkend="streaming-replication"> and <xref linkend="hot-standby">).
- Also set <varname>primary_conninfo</> in the downstream standby to point
- to the cascading standby.
