Performance Considerations maximum system throughput. Each 6U PMC card carrier unit has a separate PCI bus connection to the main system motherboard. In the configuration described here, each of the two copper dual-port Gigabit Ethernet NICs access a separate PCI bus. For the IP1200 Series appliance, any two NICs installed on a single PMC carrier both operate at the PCI frequency of the least capable NIC installed. Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC Features The copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC supports: „ High bandwidth „ Full-duplex mode operation up to 1 Gbps „ Link speed auto advertising (10/100/1000) „ Hot swapping „ PCI operation at 33 MHz, 66 MHz, and 100 Mhz „ Compliance with IEEE 802.3z and 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet specifications „ Cable autosensing You can configure and monitor Gigabit Ethernet NIC interfaces with Nokia Network Voyager. Specifically, you can use Network Voyager to set the port speed and full-duplex mode to 1000, 100, or 10 Mbps.
