It isn't really about voiding your warranty, you simply can't just add
or change interfaces in the G200, as it doesn't use any standard "off
the shelf" network card.
It uses a very specific card to allow the hardware failover, with custom
high-performance drivers which are designed to work only with that card.
Any other card would show up as an 'eth' interface, and will not work
with the monitoring drivers.
You may be able to solve this with some creative networking, if two of
the segments have low traffic. Remember that the G200 is only rated for
200Mbps of traffic, so if you take a 100M span port from network 1 into
port A, and then take the span ports from networks 2 and 3 and put those
into another dedicated switch, with the span port from that switch at
100M into port B, you can monitor the traffic from all three segments,
but it is a rather complex design just to get around the fact that you
have a G200, and probably should be using an A604 instead.

Subject: [ISSForum] Proventia G in Passive Mode
I have a Proventia G 200 right now and I'm going to be using it in
passive mode. I'm looking to monitor 3 different network segments.
Since the Proventia Gs are inline devices they obliviously have two
ports on the monitoring NIC. Has anybody replaced it with a 3 port NIC?
Any special configurations or modifications need to be made to the
appliance to get it to work? Thanks
