Question about RP installation with Gen6 RPAs and 10GE cards..
Hi there,
since I haven't found any other Information regarding the usage of 10GE Cards, I assume the following:
- eth0/WAN and eth1/LAN will move to 10GE cards if plugged/active during RPA reboot
- only 2 of 4 available ports of the 10GE Card are used in production (LAN/WAN)
- there is nothing like IP trunking/bonding availalble that can be activated to use more ports
Are my assumtions valid?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Idan,
thanks a lot for your quick answer.
One additional question since I haven't seen a 10GE card at all and the customer ist far, far away:
Are all ports on these cards equal or do we have to use specific ports for WAN and LAN?
Cheers,
Thomas
PS: I should better take care.;-) ...only the first 2 ports are used...

Hi Thomas,
That is correct, 10Gb would be used for LAN and/or WAN if there's a discovered link during boot. only the first 2 ports are used for WAN and LAN respectively. Other ports cannot be used so bonding and trunking isn't currently possible.
Hope that helps,
