Im not sure if there has been a discussion on this or not.
I’m planning to buy 4, L3 switches (3550) to connect to my GNS network at home but i have to zero in on the hardware to support that
please clear my doubts on this and also help me in deciding the hardware required
I currently have a quad core processor so thats cool. RAM is also ok
now comes the NIC card.. i believe in order to connect to 4 switches i would need a 4 Port NIC or 2×2 if a 2 port is available.
When I searched for the same on google.com, I got few 4 port *Server* NIC cards.
1) Will the above work in desktops as well
2) Could you please suggest a NIC for my lab and a motherborad if the card requires a somewhat diff motherboard. .. ( i have an ASUS mb with 2 PCIEx and 1 PCI)
Thanks in Advance.

My desktop’s video card had a jammed fan and blown capacitors. Replaced. Server had bad NIC. Switched. Still not talking with the internet.

Bloody TMG lost all its routes, server fine, NIC fine – No routes so was passing back to the user the request service

cant get this 2003 server to see the dang viual nic
Öhm? Solaris Server hat 4 NICs. Alle im gleichen Subnet. Welches NIC wird denn für ausgehenden Traffic verwendet????
dont think NIC sites were affected. cbi must be managing their server for confidentiality. so other govt. depts. saved
