RE: PIX 515 Pci Network Cards

["Melson, Paul" <PMelson () sequoianet com>]

The short answer is 'doubtful.'  The PIX OS is very sensitive to the chipset used by the NICs.

If you do try, post a follow-up and let us know how it went.

        Hi Guys,
        
        I happen to have an older PIX firewall , and after opening it and having a squiz
        inside I notice it just uses PCI network cards, so what I was wondering is
        can I pop a Dual Intel Gigabit fibre card in here and will it work??
        
        It's not for any production environment more of a see if I can do it for the hell
        of it kind of thing
        
        we're installing fail over firewalls and this one is the wrong revision for matching
        against the other PIX we have ,
        
        anyway thanks in advance
        
        cheers
