Determining the Private Network Interface
To determine which interface device name is assigned to each network interface,
perform the following steps:
1 Determine the types of NICs in your system.
See Table 1 to identify which integrated NICs are present in your system.
For add-in NICs, you may have Intel PRO/100 family or PRO/1000 family cards
or Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit cards. You may have to open your system and
view the add-in cards to identify your card.
2 Verify that a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit or Intel PRO/1000 family NIC is
connected with a Cat 5e cable to the Gigabit Ethernet switch, which is your
private NIC.
3 Determine the driver module your private NIC uses (see Table 1).
