Re: This is the wrong question / Multiport NICs

Linux Failover?

I am wondering why NICs with more than one port are so danged expensive though? I can see a bit of an increase in price, but there is no way these things should be $400 and up (last time I looked..)
Sorry to be a bit off-topic, but there is a reasonably priced 4-port ethernet solution out there. Compex, Inc. makes a quad port ethernet card (P/N FL400TX/PCI) that sells for $189.95 on buy.com. Looks like it's out of stock right now though.
I purchased one of these for our server (Linux based of course) here at work and have been quite happy with it. I'm using it for subnetting our network (vs. fail-over network links.)
