Watchguard XTM510 bandwidth max?

I mean is there a way to make a switch out of the 6 ports that would LAN designated?
I'm guess that would be a bridge interface?
-
Oh Ok. Yes you can do that with, as you say, a bridge interface.
It's generally accepted wisdom here that it's a bad idea to create a switch out of multiple interfaces. That's because it's usually much cheaper and much faster to use a real switch.
Do you need filtering between the ports?Steve
-
Not really, what I need is a way to protect my iLO interface from public facing internet.
Then I need ports for my server to get general internet access that is all.
Having a separate firewall ruleset for the iLO interface would be good.
-
Your iLO interface is in the same subnet as the server NICs? Does it have to be?
I would put it in a separate subnet on a different interface to isolate it properly and then only allow traffic you need.Steve

Do all of the watchguards XTMs come with Cavnium PCI card?
Also is it PCIe or PCI. I want to replace it with a Soekris card or something else if I can find one.
-
I think so, my 505 did so I assume the models higher up the range do also.
It's PCIe BUT the plug-socket arrangement is reversed. The socket is on the card and the motherboard has the 'golden fingers' edge connector which makes it impossible to use without some sort of adapter.Steve
-
Wha?
So the connector for the card is backwards? Its not a little "clip" gizmo.
-
Nope it's not removable. It's like this:

Why Watchguard? Why do you do this to us!
I still have another idea I looking into so I can use that port. I cannot really tell in the picture but that kind of looks like an 8x PCIe bus. Confirm?
-
Don't blame Watchguard it's Lanner's board. :)
Yes it's PCIe 8x. You should be able to use it with a gender changer or some type of riser but I've yet to find one. Which is odd because this arrangement seems common on embedded boards.Steve
