5. VLAN Pass Through and Management Access
The XTM device configured in bridge mode can now pass VLAN traffic between 802.1Q switches or bridges.
A new bridge mode configuration setting allows you to configure the XTM device to accept management connections that use a specific VLAN ID.

6. 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
