Connection, Device, and License Details
When you select an individual device, the upper section of the page shows connection status, device information, and license details for the device. For a FireCluster, this section shows information about both Firebox cluster members.
On the Device Summary page, this section also shows an Uptime value that is not included in these images.
For more information about device status, you can select the device or folder, and look at logs, dashboards, and reports. For more information, go to View WatchGuard Cloud Device Reports.
Connection Status
Connection status appears below the image of the device. The connection status indicates whether the device is connected to your WatchGuard Cloud account. It can be one of these values:
Never Connected — The device has never connected to WatchGuard Cloud.
Connected — The device is connected to WatchGuard Cloud.
Not Connected — The device is not connected to WatchGuard Cloud.
Inactive — The device is inactive. For more information, go to Inactive Devices and Data Retention.
If the status is Never Connected or Not Connected, look at the WatchGuard Cloud status on the device. For more information, go to WatchGuard Cloud Status on the Firebox.
The expected status of cluster members depends on the cluster type:
Active/Passive FireCluster
Only the cluster master connects to WatchGuard Cloud. The status of the cluster master is Connected. The status of the backup master is Never Connected or Not Connected.
Active/Active FireCluster (Locally-managed FireClusters only)
Both cluster members connect to WatchGuard Cloud. The status of both members is Connected. To determine which Firebox serial number corresponds to the cluster master or backup master, connect to Fireware Web UI and select System Status > FireCluster. Or, in WatchGuard System Manager, connect to the cluster and expand the Cluster section.
Reboot and Upgrade
For individual Fireboxes that run Fireware v12.5.2 and higher, you can reboot and upgrade the Firebox on the Device Summary page. For more information, go to Reboot a Firebox and Upgrade Firmware in WatchGuard Cloud.
You can select to reboot or upgrade a locally-managed or cloud-managed FireCluster members. For more information, go to Reboot a Cluster Member in WatchGuard Cloud and Upgrade a FireCluster in WatchGuard Cloud.

For more information, go to Fail Over a FireCluster in WatchGuard Cloud.
Device Information
The Device Information section includes basic information about the device:
- Name — For a device that has never connected, this is the name assigned to the device when it was registered at www.watchguard.com. After the device has connected, this is the name configured on the device.
- Model — The device model.
- Version — For a device that has never connected to WatchGuard Cloud, this is the version of firmware the device was manufactured with. After the device has connected, this is the version of firmware installed on the device.
- Serial Number — The device serial number.
- IP Address — The public IP address of the connection from WatchGuard Cloud. If the device is not connected, it shows the last IP address the device connected from WatchGuard Cloud.
- Uptime — The number of days since the device last rebooted. This information is available only after the device has connected to WatchGuard Cloud. This value only appears on the Device Summary page. If the device is not connected, this number reflects the uptime as of the last time the device connected to WatchGuard Cloud.
For a FireCluster, the Device Information section also includes a member number for both cluster members. This number indicates the order in which you added the Fireboxes to WatchGuard Cloud:
- Member1 is the first Firebox that you added to WatchGuard Cloud.
- Member2 is the second Firebox that you added to WatchGuard Cloud.
If you remove a Firebox from a FireCluster, that member becomes inactive.
Click the Older Devices link below the cluster member list to view details about previous cluster members.
