ASG220 using eth3 for internal subnet?

The interface hardware tab on my ASG220 shows eth0, 1, 2, 3 as gigabit interfaces, 4, 5, 6, & 7 as 100 MB interfaces. eth0, 1, & 2 are internal, external and DMZ. eth3 shows unused. I read somewhere that it was reserved for High Availability use. I am adding a second domain behind the firewall and wanted to use a gigbit interface for the new subnet. Is there anyway to activate eth3 for this purpose? It is not available in the drop down for a new interface.

I think you can change the interface that is reserved for HA in the HA configuration section. After that you can use eth3 as a normal interface.

Also, I'd be surprised if you have an Internet connection that couldn't be moved from eth1 to open up another Gb interface.

I have 2 load balanced T1's on that Internet interface so I really need to keep the GB port there. The DMZ interface is pretty low usage so I could have used that.
Thanks for the insight, now I know those labeled ports aren't sacred cows.

A T1 is 1.5mbps.

Yeah, you right! as they say in New Orleans. It's overkill and if I need another GB port, I'll know where to get it.
