Note: Original CorePlus 8.nn systems need two resets

If an upgrade from a CorePlus 8.nn version has been done previously on Clavister
hardware that was delivered with 8.nn, the restore to factory defaults operation must be
done twice since the first time will only return the device to the state it was in before the
upgrade.

As a further precaution at the end of the product's life, it also recommended that the memory
media in a Clavister Security Gateway is destroyed and certified as destroyed by a suitable
provider of computer disposal services.

2.6.5. Listing and Adding Ethernet Interfaces

The CLI command pciscan is a tool that is used in listing and upgrading the Ethernet ports for the
Clavister Security Gateway. It is usually relevant only for non-Clavister hardware although it can
be used for examining the PCI hardware in Clavister devices.

Checking Ethernet Interfaces

If the pciscan command is used without parameters then a list of all the supported Ethernet
interfaces in the Clavister Security Gateway is obtained:

Each line in the output shows the current configuration for each Ethernet interface.

To see all Ethernet interfaces on the Clavister Security Gateway, regardless if they are supported
or not, the relevant command is:

Device:/> pciscan -ethernet

To see all hardware on the PCI bus, both Ethernet and non-Ethernet, the command is:

Device:/> pciscan -all

Automatic Reconfiguration

If a new Ethernet interface is added to the Clavister Security Gateway, this can be detected and
the configuration updated automatically with the command:

Device:/> pciscan -cfgupdate

Forcing the Choice of Driver

When using non-Clavister hardware, there may be PCI cards installed that require a driver that
cannot be automatically selected using the -cfgupdate option. In such a case the administrator
