Introduction
The
66-MHz Gigabit Ethernet (GE) card for the
Cisco PIX Firewall provides a high-performance
interface to firewalling, virtual private
networking (VPN), and network address translation
(NAT), to address both service provider and
enterprise customer requirements. As an extension
of the widely used Ethernet and Fast Ethernet
standards, Gigabit Ethernet offers an easy
and cost-effective way to increase network
bandwidth while maintaining security policy.
The
66-MHz Gigabit Ethernet card enables Cisco
PIX Firewalls to take full advantage of Gigabit
Ethernet. PIX GE cards support data rates
up to 1000 Mbps and are fully compliant with
the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standard.
By reducing latency, the card enables unparalleled
throughput, so you get maximum return on your
firewall investment. Available as a 33/66-MHz
PCI interface, the Gigabit Ethernet card provides
outstanding performance and scalability for
your PIX Firewall. Combined with the Cisco
PIX 535 Firewall's three-bus 33/66 MHz architecture,
the GE 66 provides a performance boost that
normal PC-based firewalls can't compete with.
Using optical fiber cables you get not only
a high-speed connection, but the added flexibility
to place associated equipment as much as 550
meters apart.
