file and saves it to the primary area of the Firebox flash disk. The Firebox
loads the primary configuration file when it boots. The QuickSetup
wizard also writes a basic configuration file called
wizard.cfg to the
Management Station hard disk.
By default, the QuickSetup wizard starts automatically after you finish
installing the Firebox System software. To manually start the QuickSetup
wizard from the Windows desktop, select Start => Programs =>
WatchGuard => QuickSetup Wizard.
For details on running the QuickSetup wizard, see Firebox System Install
Guide.
Post-installation steps
The Firebox can now communicate with the Management Station over the
network. Perform the following post-installation steps:
1 If you initialized the Firebox using the serial cable, you must now
place the Firebox within your network. Initially, this must be done
over the Trusted interface.
The most common location for the Firebox is physically between the Internet router
and connections to your trusted and optional networks. See “Locating a Firebox
within a network” on page 8.
2 Connect the Ethernet lines to the Firebox Trusted, External, and
Optional interfaces as appropriate.
Specific connections vary according to the drop-in or routed network configuration
created. You are not required to connect the Optional interface if it is not part of
your network configuration.
3 Reboot the Management Station.
If you designated the Management Station as the primary event processor, the
LiveSecurity Event Processor starts.
4 You can now customize your security policies. See the User Guide for
additional configuration instructions.
