Watchguard Firebox M440

pglover19

Can you PM me your source IP address.

pglover19

I got it.. Just need to restrict based on your IP address. I had to add some routing on the pfSense setup on the M440. It is working.

pglover19

Were there any information in the WatchGuard OS boot log file that were useful?

pglover19

Any update?

stephenw10

Sorry, busy day. I'll update when I can.

I had the same issue with the 24 ports not working on pfsense. This is from the WG boot:

As you can see watchguard uses a custom lib libwg_pss and some others to make this happen. I'm now trying to use the WG kernel and libs to create a linux distro where all the ports are accessible.

I have 2 of these units. It would be great to get the units working with pfSense. Let me know what help you need from me.

stephenw10

More eyes on this can't hurt.

Indeed WG loads a driver for the switch device and then configure it to accept the individual VLANs on the three igb NICs.

It would be good to get a second opinion on connecting the switch serial console header internally if you can try that.
If we can get any access to the switch that might help. It seem unlikely we would ever get a FreeBSD driver for the switch devise but if we can configure it via serial then we would only need an igb driver that recognises the phy (or lack thereof).

Hi Stephen,

I just purchased a third M440 on Ebay for a cheap price. I know we worked on trying to get pfSense to recognize all the 1GB ports on this unit last year and were unsuccessful.

I'm willing to donate the third M440 to you if you would like to continue the effort to get this unit working with pfSense. I can ship the unit to you. Let me know what you think.

jrhymer

@stephenw10 Stephen I would be willing to donate one of these units as well

@jrhymer
Hi, i can access to WebUI or proprietary interface (via WSM), can this help ?
Regards.

Fred.

stephenw10

In the Watchguard OS? I doubt it would tell us much. The boot logs, which we already have, are quite revealing.

@stephenw10 Hello, I'm really invested in this as well but I have gotten nowhere, I know lots been a few years but I'm guessing there is no update on this? I'm based in UK/London I have a m440 and gotten nowhere with pfsense

stephenw10

You should be able to boot pfSense fairly easily, you just end up with only 3 working ports; the two SFP ports and the management port. It would be nice to have the other 24 ports accessible.
Did you reach that point?

Steve
