WatchGuard Firebox System
Using TCP/IP
Refer to Firebox Rear Panel image on the previous page.
•
Use the red (crossover) cable to connect the Firebox
trusted interface to the management station Ethernet
port.
•
Plug the power cord into the Firebox power input and
into a power source.
Running the QuickSetup Wizard
After you finish setting up the management station and
cabling the Firebox, use the QuickSetup Wizard to create a
basic configuration file. The Firebox loads this primary
configuration file when it boots. This enables the Firebox to
function as a simple but immediately effective firewall.
The QuickSetup Wizard also writes a basic configuration
file called
wizard.cfg
to the hard disk of the management
station. If you later want to expand or change the basic
Firebox configuration using Policy Manager, use
wiz-
ard.cfg
as the base file to which you make changes. For
more information on changing a configuration file, see
Chapter 5, “Using Policy Manager to Configure Your Net-
work.” You can also run the QuickSetup Wizard again at
any time to a create new, basic configuration file.
N
OTE
Rerunning the QuickSetup Wizard completely replaces the
configuration file, writing over any prior version. To make a
backup copy of the configuration file on the flash disk, see the
Firebox System Area chapter in the
Reference Guide
.
If the QuickSetup Wizard is not already launched, launch it
from the Windows desktop by selecting
Start
=>
Programs
=>
WatchGuard
=>
QuickSetup Wizard
