The Cisco PIX 64-bit/66-MHz four-port Fast Ethernet interface card delivers a high performance PCI interface, increased port density per PCI slot, and ease of integrating with the world-leading Cisco PIX Security Appliance Series. For small to medium-sized business to large enterprise and service provider networks, the Cisco PIX Security Appliance Series offers extensible solutions providing robust, enterprise-class, and integrated network security services with a solid investment protection. The Fast Ethernet card takes full advantage of this extensibility by providing high-performance interfaces for stateful inspection firewalling, protocol and application inspection, virtual private networking (VPN), in-line intrusion protection, and rich multimedia and voice security services in an easy-to-deploy solution. The Fast Ethernet card supports the high-bandwidth 64-bit/66-MHz PCI bus interface delivering high-throughput networks enabling robust corporate communication. The card is supported on the complete product line of extensible Cisco PIX Security Appliances. As part of a family of 64-bit/66-MHz PCI enabled cards, which include Cisco VPN Acceleration Card Plus and Cisco PIX Gigabit Ethernet card, the Fast Ethernet card takes full advantage of the multiple 64-bit/66-MHz PCI slots available on Cisco PIX 535 Security Appliance. These high-performance interface and services cards combined with the Cisco PIX 535 Security Appliance offer an unmatched high-throughput and extensible security appliance solution. Cisco PIX 64-bit/66-MHz four-port Fast Ethernet card provides four Fast Ethernet ports enabling enterprises and service providers to physically separate network traffic between networks segments, such as demilitarized zones (DMZ), business partners, or internal corporate departments in effect providing enhanced security for businesses. Multiple interfaces on a single card conserve valuable PCI slot space and maximize throughput per slot. Plugging multiple cards into extensible Cisco PIX Security Appliances achieves overall higher port density and scales as customer requirements grow. The Cisco PIX 64-bit/66-MHz four-port Fast Ethernet card conforms to Ethernet and Fast Ethernet standards. The card is automatically detected when installed in the Cisco PIX Security Appliances, which minimizes operating expenses while maximizing the return on networking investment.
