Re: [FW1] How many NIC cards can work with FW1 4.0?



Use Intel IQ/Intelligent Server NICs.
They support ISL, FEC and VLANs (up to 64 I believe).
Each VLAN is expressed as a virtual lan adapter, with it's own IP addressing etc.
 
Punch it into a Catalyst switch (2924 etc) and define VLAN segments on the switch.
Then punch into the switch vlans your other drops, devices etc etc.
 
It's like having 64 NICS in your server, and a 64 legged firewall...
 
I use 4 NICs, and 2 of them are handling vlans for DMZ, extranets, frame, wan, iplink, etc etc.
 
(rule base gets wickedly complex, and so does routing...but that will happen no
matter how you slice it...)

Any ideas how many NIC cards can be installed and running and supported by FW1 4.0 running on a NT 4.0 server?
