All changes to the Optional Network Configuration page require
that you click Submit and then reboot the Firebox before they
take effect. But you can make all the changes you want to make
and then reboot just once when you are done.
You can either enable or disable the DHCP server on the optional
network.
Requiring encrypted connections
You can set the optional interface to use only encrypted connec-
tions. Frequently a customer uses this option to make a secure wire-
less network. The wireless connections use the Mobile User VPN
client. The client encrypts all traffic from the optional interface to
the Firebox. A “drive-by” hacker can not read the encrypted traffic
on the wireless network.
Making Static Routes
You can configure the Firebox to send specified traffic to different
parts of the Firebox® X Edge trusted network connected by a router
or switch. Use the Routes page to make a static route:
1 To connect to the System Status page, type the IP address of
the trusted network in the browser.
The default IP address is: https://192.168.111.1
