Enabling The Model Upgrade Option - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

Configuration and Management Basics
Upgrade options
User licenses
A seat license upgrade allows more connections between the
trusted network and the external network. For example, a 5-seat
user license upgrade allows five more connections to the external
network than the base model with no licenses applied.
MUVPN Clients
The MUVPN Clients upgrade allows remote users to connect to
the Firebox X Edge through a secure (IPSec) VPN tunnel. These
users have access to trusted network resources.
WebBlocker
The WebBlocker upgrade enables you to control access to Web
content. For more information on WebBlocker, see Chapter 10,
"Configuring WebBlocker."
WAN Failover
The WAN failover feature adds redundant support for the
external interface. For more information, see "Enabling the WAN
Failover Option" on page 83.

Enabling the Model Upgrade Option

A model upgrade gives the Firebox® X Edge the same functions as a
higher model. A model upgrade increases speed, capacity, user
licenses, sessions, and VPN tunnels. For a brochure that shows the
capacities of the different Firebox X Edge models, go to:

You can upgrade an X5 or an X15 to a higher model.
