About IP1200 Series Appliance
Network Interface Cards
This chapter describes the network interface cards available for the Nokia IP1200 Series
appliance and how to connect those NICs to your network. The following NICs are described:
Four-Port 10/100 Ethernet NICs
Two-Port and Four-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet NICs
Two-Port Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet NICs
For instructions about how to add or replace NICs, see
Network Interface Cards and Accelerated Data Path (ADP) Services Modules."
The NICs supported in the IP1200 Series operate at the peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
frequency listed in
Table 11 NIC PCI Frequency
NIC or interface port
Four-port 10/100 Ethernet
Two-port 10/100 Ethernet
Two-port fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet
Two-Port copper Gigabit Ethernet
(10/100/1000)
Note
Any two NICs installed on a single PMC carrier will both operate at the PCI frequency of the
least-capable NIC installed. For example, if a two-port Ethernet NIC and a two-port fiber-
optic Gigabit Ethernet NIC are installed on the same PMC card carrier, they both operate at
66 Mhz. Use this information to plan your NIC installation to maximize data throughput on
your appliance.
