[[nsp] VIP4 + gigE port adapter]

[Joshua Smith]

i don't have the link handy (and the person who does is out of the 
office today), but i was told that the vip4/80 didn't support ge/ip+
interfaces...i may be recalling the conversation wrong, but i think
you have to use a vip6/80 (either that, or that was the excuse that
they gave here to upgrade to the 6/80 ;) )

i will try to find the documentation

"Walk with me through the Universe,
 And along the way see how all of us are Connected.
 Feast the eyes of your Soul,
 On the Love that abounds.
 In all places at once, seemingly endless,
 Like your own existence."
