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.
accept replication connections (that is, set
<xref linkend="guc-max-wal-senders"> and <xref linkend="guc-hot-standby">,
and configure
<link linkend="auth-pg-hba-conf">host-based authentication</link>).
You will also need to set <varname>primary_conninfo</> in the downstream
standby to point to the cascading standby.
