About IP2450 Appliance Network Interface Cards
Four-Port 10/100 Ethernet NICs
The IP2450 supports Check Point-approved, four-port UTP5 dual-mode (10-Mbps and 100-
Mbps) Ethernet NICs installed in a 6U PMC carrier or in slot 3 (slot 4 is reserved for a four-port
copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC). When you purchase a 10/100 Ethernet NIC with your IP2450, the
NIC is installed before the appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or
replace a NIC, see
Modules."
10/100 Ethernet NIC Features
The four-port 10/100 Ethernet NIC supports PCI operation at 133 MHz and runs on Check Point
IPSO 4.2 or higher.
Both the four-port and two-port Ethernet NICs support the following features:
Hot swappability
Tracing through tcpdump
PCI operation at 33 MHz and 66 MHz
Compliance with IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet specification
You can configure and monitor Ethernet NIC interfaces by using Check Point Network Voyager.
Specifically, you set the port speed and full-duplex or half-duplex mode with Check Point
Network Voyager.
For information about how to access Check Point Network Voyager and the related reference
materials, see

After the power is turned on and the cables are connected, the Ethernet link LEDs on both the
IP2450 and on the remote equipment illuminate to indicate the connection. As data is
transmitted, the activity LEDs on the appliance illuminate.
