If your kernel supports up to 8 ethernet cards, shorewall will do as well.
Normally the internet is provided by one port to you by your internet service provider. Planning to use 7 nics to be connected to the internet either means you have 7 internet connections or you plan something what is usually not planned and out of my scope of knowledge. Of course it would be possible to bond those 7 interfaces together but the sense would be not clear to me. But in that case you need 7 interfaces provided by your isp anyway. So I suggest you explain your environment a bit more in detail so that guys from list can help you out with your questions.

So is it applicable to setup Shorewall to works with 8 ethernet cards in a box. With these allocation: eth0-eth6 will be connected to WAN (internet) eth7 will be connected to LAN And Shorewall can manage all of those ethernet cards traffics. Many thanks. sangprabv [email protected] On May 22, 2010, at 8:16 PM, Michael Weickel - iQom Business Services GmbH wrote: > > If you mean one out of eth0-eth6 burt not eth1 an WAN its not a problem, > otherwise use bonding > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: sangprabv [mailto:[email protected]] > Gesendet: Samstag, 22.
