Release Notes

Before You Begin

Before you install this release, make sure that you have:

l

A supported WatchGuard Firebox or XTM device. This device can be a WatchGuard Firebox T10, T30,
T50, T70, XTM 2 Series (models 25 and 26 only), 3 Series, 5 Series, 8 Series, 800 Series, XTM 1050,
XTM 1500 Series, XTM 2050 device, XTM 2500 Series, Firebox M200, M300, M400, M500, M440,
M4600, M5600. You can also use this version of Fireware on FireboxV or XTMv (any edition), and
Firebox Cloud for AWS.

l

The required hardware and software components as shown below. If you use WatchGuard System
Manager (WSM), make sure your WSM version is equal to or higher than the version of Fireware OS
installed on your Firebox or XTM device and the version of WSM installed on your Management Server.

l

Feature key for your Firebox or XTM device — If you upgrade your device from an earlier version of
Fireware OS, you can use your existing feature key. If you do not have a feature key for your device, you
can log in to the WatchGuard website to download it.

Note that you can install and use WatchGuard System Manager v11.12 and all WSM server components with
devices running earlier versions of Fireware v11.x. In this case, we recommend that you use the product
documentation that matches your Fireware OS version.

If you have a new Firebox or XTM physical device, make sure you use the instructions in the

Quick Start Guide

that shipped with your device. If this is a new FireboxV or XTMv installation, make sure you carefully review

Fireware Help

for important installation and setup instructions. We also recommend that you review the

Hardware Guide

for your Firebox or XTM device model. The

Hardware Guide

contains useful information about

your device interfaces, as well as information on resetting your device to factory default settings, if necessary.

Product documentation for all WatchGuard products is available on the WatchGuard web site at

http://www.watchguard.com/wgrd-help/documentation/overview
