Hardware support for Watchguard?

[igorek24]

Just a quick quastion, would there be any support for watchguard hardware? I'm curently running two WG X750e with pfSense. It is installed on CF card and all of the LEDs and screen is working.

Thank you.

The hardware specs look pretty low, but it is generally supported. We do not have the minimalist-embedded approach so it might not fit on a small memory card. Work will be done to make embedded setups more viable in 15.7. I couldn't possibly say more other than try it if you have the time, or wait a while till we tackle the embedded setups cleanly. Hope that helps.

Thanks franco, I guess I'll just wait for 15.7 release. BTW. I have upgraded the hardware to Intel Pentium M processor 1.73GHz, 2GB of ram and 4GB CF card. One of the Watchguard UTMs have a IDE port, so I'm guessing I can trow an SSD in to that one.  I'm so happy to see OpnSense, defiantly spreading the word.

I'm inclined to say try a stable 15.1 if you can, but 15.7 is certainly a good idea for production systems. Cheers.

I got it to run (15.7) on my Watchguard x750e on 60GB IDE HDD. Currently getting it ready for production (recreating all of the firewall rules an other configurations). The only thing is that the LCD just displaying "Booting OS" and NICs LEDs are not functioning correctly (blinking only when there is activity on that port) but thats has to do with FreeBSD and Wachguard hardware. I will fix that and report back for other people.

I think you mean you've installed 15.1.7 and I'm stoked that it works. Thank you for reporting back.

I know that feeling. I run into this problem from time to time while testing...
