Scenarios for adding PCI-X cards
WARNING
The interfaces on the firewall will be renumbered when a PCI-X card is added. As such, the
cables connected to these interfaces have to be rearranged accordingly.
Since the interfaces get renumbered according to the location of cards that have been installed
and their port numbers, the scenarios below indicate the procedures to follow for plugging the
cables into the appropriate interfaces.
There are as many scenarios as there are combinations of numbers of cards and numbers of
ports. However, they can be grouped into two main categories:
Addition of the PCI-X card first: this means the first card inserted into the default
configuration.
Addition of the PCI-X card after a PCI-E card: we will retain the least favorable scenario
(insertion of a PCI-X card in an 18-port configuration).
