Explanation:
To configure WSUS on ABC-SR22 so that the ABC-SR23 receives updates from ABC-SR22, you need to configure ABC-SR22 as an upstream server. The WSUS hierarchy model allows a single WSUS server to act as an upstream server and impose its configuration on those servers configured as downstream servers below it.

A WSUS hierarchy supports two modes, autonomous mode and replica mode. In replica mode, the upstream server is the only WSUS server that downloads its updates from Microsoft Update. It is also the only server that an administrator has to manually configure computer groups and update approvals on. All information downloaded and configured on to an upstream server is replicated directly to all of the devices configured as downstream servers.
