[Devil-Linux-discuss] Add more NIC

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to add one or two more NIC in
addition of the 3, to build a firewall router with 4 or 5 NIC. I tried
to configure /etc/sysconfig/nic (files ifcfg-eth3 and ifcfg-eth4) but it
is visible as two more eth2 when starting /etc/init.d/network.
Many thanks for your kind answer,

OB
