Installing the Firebox® X Edge
20 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
If your ISP uses static IP addressing, or uses PPPoE, then do the fol-
lowing additional steps:
1 From your Web browser, select File > Open Location, type
https://192.168.111.1/ into the URL entry field of your browser,
and press Enter. Log on using the default user name (admin)
and password (admin).
2 From the navigation bar, expand Network (click the plus sign)
and select External.
3 From the Configuration Mode drop-down list, select either
Manual Configuration (for static IP addressing) or PPPoE
Client.
Connecting to the System Configuration Pages
Use a Web browser to connect to the Firebox® X Edge system con-
figuration pages. The first time you connect to the Edge configura-
tion pages, the End User License Agreement (EULA) appears. To
continue, you must accept the agreement. You must also set the
administrator password.
A factory default Edge allows HTTP traffic on port 80. After you set
the administrator password, the Edge uses only secure HTTP
(HTTPS) on port 443 for system configuration.
For your computer to connect to the Edge, you must choose one of
these options:
• Get a dynamic IP address from the Edge using DCHP
• Set a static IP address within the default trusted interface
address range
The default trusted interface IP address is 192.168.111.1/24.
For more information on network addressing, see “IP Addresses” on
page 5.
