The FireBrick 2500/2700 has 4 ethernet ports, typically one port will be for the LAN connection (for example - to the main office switch), and the rest for connections to the ADSL/FTTC modems.
The FireBrick 2500/2700 have 4 ethernet ports, the 2900 has 4 plus an SFP which can be used with a Copper of fibre SFP to give an additional port. Typically one port will be for the LAN connection (for example - to the main office switch), and the rest for connections to the ADSL/FTTC modems.


As there are 4 ports are we restricted to only bonding up to 3 ADSL/FTTC lines? No.
