3.1 Piranja and RC 100
The Piranja and the RC 100 appliances have 3 Ethernet ports (LAN 1 to LAN 3), one serial
interface (D-Sub) and two USB ports.
The three network ports are destined for different nets. The interface eth0 is reached through
LAN 1and is designated for the external network (internet). LAN 2 represents the second
interface eth1 and is designated for the internal network. The port LAN 3 uses the interface
eth2 and is destined for a demilitarized zone (DMZ). It can also be used for a second internal
network or a second external connection.
