CHAPTER 3 Configuration and
Management Basics
When you
configure
a Firebox, you make the WatchGuard® Firebox® X
Edge appropriate for the specific security needs of your organization.
This is your main task after you install your Firebox. You use Web
pages inthe Firebox to create the configuration of the Firebox X Edge.
You connect to these configuration pages with your Web browser.
You can also use the Firebox Web pages to create accounts, look at
network statistics, and see the current configuration of the Firebox.
Read this chapter to learn basic information about the Firebox X Edge
Web pages. Sections in later chapters have more detailed intructions.
This chapter contains cross-references to those later sections.
Navigating the Configuration Pages
To configure your Firebox® X Edge, you use a Web browser such as
Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or NetScape Navigator. You must
first disable the HTTP Proxy feature. For more information, see “Dis-
abling the HTTP Proxy Setting” on page 15.
In this User Guide, every procedure starts with a step to:
“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.”
