Re: [SLE] Limit on LAN Ports?

Is there a limit on the number of LAN ports supported by SuSE 9.1? We are thinking of building a routing firewall and need at least 5 ports. Suggested multiport NIC cards?

I'm running about 72 virtual addresses on 3 interaces right now. Some of the drivers don't live happily with multiple cards, but if you find a multi-interface card, you should be fine. I'm personally fond of the Intel cards, but that's just me. I know that they work fine with more than one card in a machine. You'll run out of space before you hit the physical interface limit. --Danny
