Hi, which high you would 1HE? so you could look to msi-rackboxes or supermicro-boxes, there have 3 onboard NIC's, and let you put an QFE/OGB(quattro-fastethernet/gigabit)-Card in an standard pci-slot. so you can got 7 NIC's. But these are bigger,louder and consumes more power, also produces more heat.....
<possible joke> alternatively you buy an 3 or 4 HE-box with 6 PCI slots and put 6 QFE-Cadrd in in and simulate an Switch/HUB an friend of mine, have do it so.... :-D </possible joke> cheers michael 2007/1/31, Alexandre Blardone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello I currently run pfsense on a LinITX FX5620 which has 6 NICs and works nicely. I am looking to upgrade to a rack mountable hardware with 6 gigabit NICs and a beefier processor since I now have 100Mbps WAN. None of pfsense's recommended vendors offer a solution with 6 Gig NICs (or 4 with an accessible PCI slot) I got the NSA 1046 from Nexcom (you can add a PCI card in it) but pfsense did not recognize the built in PCI express NICs :( Can anyone help me with either making pfsense work on the NSA 1046 (can i install drivers?) or find new hardware that would fit my requirements? Is anyone running pfsense on a box with 6+ gigabit NICs ? Thanks for any replies Alex
