FireCluster Support on XTM 25, 26, and 33 FireCluster is now supported on XTM 25, 26, and 33 models. Both members of a cluster must be the same model and must have Fireware XTM with a Pro upgrade installed. FireCluster Setup The FireCluster setup process is nearly the same as for other XTM models. The main difference is that you must use the XTM 2 Series or 3 Series reset procedure to make a new device discoverable. FireCluster is not supported on these XTM 2 Series and 3 Series models: XTM 21, 22, 23 All XTM 2 Series and 3 Series wireless models WatchGuard Training WatchGuard Training
