Watchguard x55e-w manual

For example, if you do not know the configuration passphrase, or if a power interruption causes damage to the Fireware OS, you can use the Quick Setup Wizard or Web Setup Wizard to build your configuration again or restore a saved configuration. The previously installed feature key is not removed when the device is started in safe mode. The previously installed feature key is removed. When the Firebox restarts, if Interface 0 is connected to a network and can get a DHCP address, the Firebox automatically attempts to download the latest feature key from WatchGuard.

For a complete description of the factory-default settings, see About Factory-Default Settings. Backup images saved on your Firebox are removed when you reset it to factory-default settings. Before you reset a Firebox, we recommend that you export a recent backup image from the Firebox. If you want to reset the Firebox and do not want to remove the saved backup images, use the CLI command restore factory-default without the all parameter.

Make sure that you complete all of the steps. You must complete the second reboot at the end to restart your device before you can connect to it. The IP address of the trusted interface changes to For more information, see About Factory-Default Settings. Before you reset a Firebox M, make sure you have an interface module installed in slot A.

After you restore the factory-default settings, you can connect your computer to interface 1 and use the Quick Setup Wizard or Web Setup Wizard to create a basic configuration or restore a saved backup image.

Thanks for your reply. I've spent the last few days trying to work out whether it could be in interface issue. Is there some other speed setting that I need to be aware of please? I'm pretty sure it's not running at 10Mbps, firstly because the Mbps light is steady, but also because you wouldn't get even 40Mbps otherwise.

I can see a bandwidth setting in the traffic management tab, but I've disabled all traffic management so it's greyed out. Should be similar in the web interface. Make sure this is set to zero to use the physical speed of the port. And make sure non of your rules have this option set. I think you have confirmed this already though. I'm using the web interface. Traffic management is completely disabled, so all those options are greyed out, If I enable traffic management and ensure the interface speeds are set to 0 and the policy traffic management is "none" for all the rules, then the throughput actually drops to about 30Mbps!

Aside from traffic management make sure the interface is set correctly as per my third post. That could be the issue as well. I checked again. The interface bandwidth setting you're referring to is in the traffic management tab on the web interface - it's set to zero as you suggest. In any event, I turned off traffic management.

This can cause a noticeable reduction in overall throughput,especially on smaller devices that have less processing power. Do not enable Traffic Management and QoS in the global settings unless you are going to use these features. I also started looking on eBay for an higher spec model. When looking at the newer XTM 22, the person listing the item who looks like he's experienced in Watchguard devices said the following :.

If you do wish to use with FTTC please bear in mind that throughput on these smaller devices is fine for 40Mb services but not quite enough for 80Mb internet speeds, if you are lucky enough to get these! I'm forming the view that the x55e regrettably just isn't up to the job.

I'm really rather glad I didn't pay pull price for it! SI System Integration d. X55e was listed to have a 'firewall throughput' of Mbps. That means, not using any proxies nor any security services - packet filters only. As soon as you use proxies, the transfer rate on that service will drop because of the deep inspection of that traffic. I could not find any information about the advertized 'UTM Throughput' for the X55e - it looks like this info was not 'so important' to be listed in the datasheet at that time.

On the newer devices, the UTM Throughput gives you a better picture of what you can expect, when you use proxies and turn on security services. In your case, I would select a close site, that you know to have good throughput, select http or ftp as the measured protocol and add a packet filter for that site and protocol in front of you existing rules.

Than test the throughput against that site. That should get far higher than you achieved. Hmm looks like you may be correct. Is this for home use or business? If you have an older computer laying around there are a lot of free firewalls that will do similar things to the watchguard? Might be a cheaper way out if its not up to the load. Front panel The front panel of the Firebox X Edge e-Series has 18 indicator lights to show link status. The light goes off when the external interface connection goes back to WAN1.

Link The link indicator shows a physical connection to a trusted Ethernet interface. OPT interface This Ethernet interface is for the optional network. Some key features that have an effect on performance of an It can be caused by multi-path reflection.

Multi-path reflection occurs when RF signals that come to the receiver must move along more than one path because of walls and other surfaces between the transmitter and the receiver.
