Managing the Firebox® X Edge
158 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
Changing the HTTP Server Port
To connect to the Firebox X Edge to view its configuration pages, or
for a user to authenticate to the Edge, the browser's connection
must use the same port as the Edge’s HTTP server port. Because
HTTPS uses TCP port 443 (HTTP uses TCP port 80), the default
HTTP server port for the Edge is 443.
To change the port over which you communicate with the Firebox X
Edge, type a new value in the HTTP Server Port field, as shown in
the previous figure.
Setting up VPN Manager Access
Use the VPN Manager Access page to allow your Firebox X Edge to
be remotely managed by WatchGuard VPN Manager.
VPN Manager does not run directly on your Firebox X Edge; it is
separate software that runs on a WatchGuard Firebox III or Firebox
X. It configures and manages VPN tunnels.
For more information about VPN Manager, see the WatchGuard
Web site:
https://www.watchguard.com/products/vpnmanager.asp
Follow these instructions to configure VPN Manager access:
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the Firebox X
Edge.
The default IP address is: https://192.168.111.1
