WAVE574 replacement of PCI CARD

[lorenzo limardo]

Hello,

I have a WAVE574 whose card PCI is broken.

Can i use any PCI EXPRESS 10 G CARD, or is something special in It?

Reading this document, any should be good.

Is there a list of compatible cards maybe?

Inline Network Adapter Description

The WAVE appliance supports one optional 2-port Gigabit Ethernet inline network adapter or one optional 4-port Gigabit Ethernet inline network adapter. The inline network adapter is a full-height, three-quarter-length PCI Express network interface card that contains two or four independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. (See Figure 5-1.)

The Cisco WAVE inline network adapter provides an inline traffic interception capability for your appliance. When you configure the WAVE appliance for inline interception mode, you can set attributes to control which interfaces are to be used over which VLANs. By default, the adapter operates on all inline-capable interfaces and VLANs. You can configure the inline redirection feature using the WAAS CLI or the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
