pfSense on Watchguard M370

@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.
-
Yup.
-
@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.

Hello
Original m370 bios can support cpu intel 7th Generation ? -

Hello
Original m370 bios can support cpu intel 7th Generation ?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.

hey all, i have seen/know the password but does anyone have a copy of the mod/unlocked bios? I really want to flash a m470 and enable speedstep. any information is greatly appreciated!
all the best
-
Same here. Got a M670 for free and want to enable speedstep.
-
You should see speedshift active on there already if the CPU supports it. Pretty sure the default CPU in the M670 does. That's superior to speedstep in almost every way.
-
I have a problem with my M370, it starts but shuts down at once. I would need a copy of a bios file if anyone has one.
Thanks in advance.
-
Anything shown at the console at all? Did it boot previously?
-
@stephenw10
Can't get into console because it shuts down. It has worked fine for years but after a power outage it won't start. -
But if you have the console open you see nothing at all? No POST output from the BIOS? No errors?
It sounds like a hardware failure. That's what happens if you try to power up without any RAM present for example.
I would try reseating the RAM and CPU.

@stephenw10
How to reset RAM and CPU?
I think there is something with the bios that is causing it not to boot.
