      @stephenw10 Sorry my mistake, it's 8 port.
      Apparently works well because it detects (first) but when I connect the cables the interface never detects the conection in any of the 8 ports.

          @stephenw10 Done! I was the port mapping on the module. WATCH M470 ports.png

          Perfect!

              @it-adminpmaria-santcugat-org for safety measures I suggest you to install and configure everything without the module, then you plug it in and configure the extra ports. Safety measures first

                Adding the module will change the NIC order if you have already assigned them.

                  @nicknitro Bad news, when you start without the module and put the module later, the mapping of the interfaces change to the schema that I show you later.

                      @stephenw10 Oh, I see..... well, maybe there's a file to rewrite the modules order, perhaps a init script or similar to automate the process.

                        There is one thing you can do. You can add PCI device wiring hints:
                        https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pci#DEVICE_WIRING
                        Doing that you can specify the NIC order by the PCI bus location which doesn't change.

                        However I don't recommend doing that. If you lose the custom values (which are not stored in the config) the NICs will be parsed in a completely different order. Better in my opinion to just use the default order and put up with the unexpected NIC sequence.

                            The best CPU to use is an Intel Core i7-7700T. It’s fast, multithreaded and only 35W TDP. (QC/8MB/8T/2.9GHz/35W).
                            As for the original BIOS, as in if you've never run WatchGuard XTM software on it and upgraded, then that I'm not sure.

                              Still surprisingly expensive though. I'd argue the 7500T is better value. Potentially much better depending on how cheap you can find one.

                                        @angelroc do always read a thread before posting. It’s there in plain sight.
