Installing the Firebox® X Edge
24 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
Setting a Static IP Address
If your ISP uses static IP addressing, you must set the Edge external
interface address. Use the information in the Your TCP/IP Properties
Table on page 14 to do this procedure.
1 Open your Web browser. Browse to the System Status page at
https://192.168.111.1.
Type the URL in the Address bar of your browser and press the [Enter]
key.
2 From the navigation bar on the left side, click the plus sign (+)
to the left of Network. Click External.
3 Use the Configuration mode drop-down list to select Manual
Configuration.
4 Type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
5 Type the IP addresses of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
6 Type the DNS domain suffix.
7 Click Submit.
Entering PPPoE settings
Many ISPs use Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
because it is easy to merge with dial-up infrastructure. If your ISP
uses PPPoE to give IP addresses, you must get more setup informa-
tion.
