Watchguard Firebox500 hang

Jul 02, 2007 3 Replies

Hello all, I have a Watchguard Firebox500 with WSM 9.0.1 with a problem. After two days or so of running it hang, the os is lock and must be manually rebooted, all the front panel light are freezed. I tried:



- exchange the harware with a Frirebox1000 with same configuration



- change firewall rules but the problem continue. In the syslog there is nothing that is strange, only some syn flood vaidation and blocjed sites, but the last ip before the firewall lock is everytime different. Thanks for suggestions.

Go back to 8.x instead.

Since you are running 9 you must have a LSS, so call them, you'll get a quicker answer.

Inserted a switch between the watchguard an the isp cisco and the problem disappear! Alberto

There is a known issue between CISCO hardware and non-CISCO hardware when it comes to auto-negotiation. It's an old problem, one reason I stopped using CISCO hardware with others - so now I don't use CISCO when I can avoid it.
