Using Onboard ethernet and PCI Express NIC

Hayden Ritchey

Hey all, 

Sorry in advance if I did not put this in the right subthread I am very new to this site. I am going to build a Mini-ITX based machine to run Sophos UTM, I would like to know if I can use the onboard ethernet for my WAN and then a secondary PCI express NIC for my LAN connections? I have a single port PCI NIC card that I can connect with a switch to provide additonal ports if needed, however I just plan to plug an AP into my LAN. I will be using an Intel Single Port PCI Card.

    Hi Hayden and welcome to the UTM Community!

    When you do the initial load from ISO, you will need to have both NICs in place.  Otherwise, you're faced with a backup-re-install-restore scenario when you add the new NIC.
