Hi, I really want to use one of those Sun Fire X2100, X2100 M2 or X2200 to build a firewall for my network. But my problem is that my network is a fiber connection running Gigabit. It seems that all these boxes have only PCI-E X8 slot(s) for fiber network card(s).
My questions are: 1) Sun also sells a fiber gigabit card with X2100 ... (Sun Dual Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E MMF Adapter). But this card is not supported in OpenBSD 4.0. Am I right? Is there a plan to support it in the near futher? 2) If I get a M2 box, say, X2100 M2 with two PCI-E X8 slots and get two PCI-E fiber network cards, say, HP NC373F PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (1000baseSX) which is supported per openbsd document. Would that work? Thanks for any inputs. Steven
