I need an advice from folks who are expert with SPLAT.
How do you add another NIC into an existing firewall
without having to renumberring the interfaces? For
example, let say that I have 4 interfaces on the
SPLAT Enforcement Modules, eth0, eth1, eth2 and
eth3. Depending on where I insert the 5th NIC,
it could rearrange the whole thing and that the
eth0 could now be eth1 and eth1 could be eth2
and so forth.
I thought by hard coding the MAC address into
the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0,
eth1... eth3, I can prevent the NIC from being
arrange but obviously it did not not work.
Any advice for me on how to do this without
having the interfaces being arranged? the
Firewall is at the data center and that I am
relying on someone else to do the physical work
for me.
This situation reminds me of the Cisco Pix
firewall. Cisco Pix behaves exactly the same
way. eth0, eth1... ethx depends on where
the NIC is seated inside the motherboard.
Thanks.
