This chapter describes the network interface cards (NICs) available for the
Nokia IP2255 appliance and how to connect those NICs to your network. The

„
Two-Port and Four-Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC
„

When you purchase a NIC with your appliance, the NIC is installed before the
appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or replace a
NIC, see
Chapter 6, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards.”
For information about the Ethernet management ports in slot 5, see “Ethernet
Management Ports” on page 23.
The NICs that the Nokia IP2255 appliances support connect to the Nokia
ADP subsystem. All NICs are hot swappable and can be used in any
combination.
You can configure and monitor NIC interfaces with Nokia Network Voyager
or the CLI.
For information about how to access Network Voyager and the related
