Expansion module for Firebox M

The WatchGuard WG8592 is an 8-port copper expansion module designed for WatchGuard Firebox M series appliances. It provides additional Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through twisted-pair media for data networking environments.

Suits M-series firewall upgrades

This module fits administrators expanding port density on compatible Firebox M470, M570, M670, M4600 or M5600 units. It does not suit users needing fibre uplinks or those running non-M-series hardware.

Questions about this item

What speed does the 10/100/1000Base-T interface actually deliver on this module?

The module provides eight copper ports that auto-negotiate to 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps per connection, so each link caps at 1000 Mbps full duplex.

Which Firebox M appliances accept the WG8592 module?

The module fits the M470, M570, M670, M4600 and M5600 chassis; it slides into any available expansion slot on those models.

How is the module installed, and what step do people often miss?

Power down the appliance, remove the blanking plate, insert the module until it clicks, secure the retaining screws, then power up and verify all eight ports show link status in the UI.
