Double check the NICs in that box. I believe they're broadcom and nvidia (yes, Sun does a mix and match on the same motherboard! You get two of each.) Also, one of the NICs doubles as the network port for the service processor, so if you're inclined to use the SP, you'll need to account for that dual use on the NIC port 1. I've been extremely happy with my Sun Servers, but I run them for database boxes with gobs and gobs of RAM, and I only use one intel NIC each on the X4100 (4x intel NIC) and X4100M2 (2x Intel, 2x nvidia). FreeBSD support for the nvidia NICs is not as great as for the intels, and the broadcom quality depends on the exact chipset you have. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
