Method 2: The Flash Disk Management Utility - Watchguard Firebox X1000 User Manual

Appendix A: Troubleshooting Firebox Connectivity
You should be able to ping the Firebox again with the same
IP address you used earlier. At this point, you should be
able to connect back to the Firebox through System Man-
ager and reinstall the Firebox back into the network.

Method 2: The Flash Disk Management Utility

Like the first procedure, this method requires that you dis-
connect your management station and Firebox from the
network.
1
Make sure the management station has a static IP
address. If it doesn't, change the TCP/IP settings to a
static IP address. The computer designated as the
management station should be on the same network as
the configuration file, preferably the Trusted network,
so you do not need to reassign an IP address to your
computer after the configuration file has been
uploaded.
The following is an example of a typical IP address scheme:
Management station: 192.168.0.5
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Trusted interface: 192.168.0.1 (from the configuration file)
2
Connect the blue serial cable to the Console port of the
Firebox and the other end to the open COM port of the
management station.
3
Connect the crossover cable from the Trusted interface
on the Firebox to the management station.
4
Access the Flash Disk Management utility: in
System Manager, click the main menu button
(shown at right). Select Tools = > Advanced = >
Flash Disk Managament.
5 From the first screen in the Flash Disk Management
tool, select Boot from the System Area (Factory
Default). Click Continue.
