Hi all,

I have configured appliance server of HP in place of CPU and linked it with Intip to initialize my main shelf, i want to ask if i can connect INTIP directly to the second ethernet port of Appliance server ?? as i dont want any broadcasts to interfere between Appliance server and INTIP as both my interfaces are now terminated to Fast Iron Switch

CPU is not a switch, use some external switch with for example separate vlan for better isolation.

No. But search this forum, it was very well explained here.
