Watchguard Firebox500 hang

Hello all,
I have a Watchguard Firebox500 with WSM 9.0.1 with a problem.
After two days or so of running it hang, the os is lock and must be
manually rebooted, all the front panel light are freezed.
I tried:
- exchange the harware with a Frirebox1000 with same configuration
- change firewall rules
but the problem continue.
In the syslog there is nothing that is strange, only some syn flood
vaidation and blocjed sites, but the last ip before the firewall lock is
everytime different.
Thanks for suggestions.

Alberto

Go back to 8.x instead.

Since you are running 9 you must have a LSS, so call them, you'll get a
quicker answer.

There is a known issue between CISCO hardware and non-CISCO hardware
when it comes to auto-negotiation. It's an old problem, one reason I
stopped using CISCO hardware with others - so now I don't use CISCO when
I can avoid it.
