[root@ron images]# ethtool -p eth1
Cannot identify NIC: Operation not supported

So we'll go back to another method I used this afternoon after=20
re-motherboarding my firewall:
Configures green, orange and red as 192.168.1.254, 192.168.2.254 and=20
192.168.3.254.

=46rom the neighbouring box (195.168.1.1) I tried the various outlets and p=
inged=20
the firtst IP until I found which one it was.

Changed neighbouring box IP to 192.168.2.1 and found the second socket, and=
