When you purchase a copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC with your IP290 appliance, the NIC is
installed before the appliance is delivered to you. For information about how to add or replace a
NIC, see
Chapter 5, “Installing and Replacing Network Interface Cards.”
Copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC Features in the IP290
The copper Gigabit Ethernet NIC supports:
„
Tracing through tcpdump
„
High bandwidth
„
Full-duplex mode operation up to 1 Gbps
„
Link speed auto advertising (10/100/1000)
„
PCI operation at 66 MHz on the IP290
„

The copper Gigabit NICs installed in IP290 appliances run on Nokia
IPSO v4.2 or later.
You can configure and monitor Gigabit Ethernet NIC interfaces by using Nokia Network
Voyager. Specifically, you can use Network Voyager to set the port speed and full-duplex mode
to 1000, 100, or 10 Mbps.
For information about how to access Network Voyager and the related reference materials, see
“Using Nokia Network Voyager” on page 36.
