Installing Additional NIC in ids 4215

davidcruise · ‎05-10-2008

i have IDS 4215 , running image :

IPS-4215-K9-sys-1.1-a-5.1-7-E1.img

i installed NIC card in it (Realtek)

when restart, it didn't detect the installed card. so is there any steps during the reload to do?

When I was building "Franken" IDS to prepare

for the CCIE Security lab, I always use

Intel EtherExpress NIC. It always works with

both version 4.1 and 5.1. I don't think

Realtek is supported due to drivers issues.

Use this card:

The best card is IntelÂ® EtherExpress PRO/100 S82559. I know that both Cisco Pix firewall

and Cisco IDS use this card, last time I

check

Have fun!!!!
