Chapter 3: Getting Started

Using TCP/IP

Refer to Firebox Rear Panel image on the previous page.
• Use the red (crossover) cable to connect the Firebox
trusted interface to the management station Ethernet
port.
• Plug the power cord into the Firebox power input and
into a power source.

Running the QuickSetup Wizard

After you finish setting up the management station and
cabling the Firebox, use the QuickSetup Wizard to create a
basic configuration file. The Firebox loads this primary
configuration file when it boots. This enables the Firebox to
function as a simple but immediately effective firewall.
The QuickSetup Wizard also writes a basic configuration
file called wizard.cfg to the hard disk of the management
station. If you later want to expand or change the basic
Firebox configuration using Policy Manager, use wiz-
ard.cfg as the base file to which you make changes. For
more information on changing a configuration file, see
Chapter 5, "Using Policy Manager to Configure Your Net-
work." You can also run the QuickSetup Wizard again at
any time to a create new, basic configuration file.
Rerunning the QuickSetup Wizard completely replaces the
configuration file, writing over any prior version. To make a
backup copy of the configuration file on the flash disk, see the
Firebox System Area chapter in the
If the QuickSetup Wizard is not already launched, launch it
from the Windows desktop by selecting Start => Programs
= > WatchGuard = > QuickSetup Wizard.
