3 Read the text of the EULA. If you agree, select the I accept the
above license agreement checkbox.
4 Type the name of the file containing the new Firebox X Edge
software in the Select file box or click Browse to find the file
on your local computer.
5 Click Update.
The Firebox makes sure the software package is a legimate software
upgrade. It then copies the new software to the system and reboots. This
can take 15 to 45 seconds. When the update is complete, the System
Status page appears and shows the new version number.
Factory Default Settings
The term
factory default settings
refers to how the Firebox® X Edge
is configured when you first receive it—before you have made any
changes of your own to the configuration. The default network and
configuration settings for the Firebox X Edge are as follows:
Trusted network
- The default IP address for the trusted network is 192.168.111.1.
The subnet mask for the trusted network is 255.255.255.0.
- The Firebox X Edge is configured to give IP addresses to
computers on the trusted network through DHCP. You can also
give static addresses to computers in the trusted network with
IP addresses in the 192.168.111.2–192.168.111.254 range.
External network
- The external network settings use DHCP.
Optional network
- The optional network is disabled.
Firewall settings
- All incoming services are blocked.
- An outgoing service allows all outbound traffic.
- All of the options on the Firewall Options page are disabled.
System Security
- The System Security is disabled. The system administrator name
and system administrator passphrase are not set. All computers
on the trusted network can see the configuration pages.
- Remote Management is disabled.
