box.
You will see a warning to make sure you change the HTTP server port to its default port of 80. To
connect to the Firebox X Edge, you must use the same port in your browser as the HTTP server
port on the Edge.
If you want to use a certificate to help secure the management session, select it from the
4
Certificate drop-down list. This option is active only if you have already imported certificates for
use on the Edge. For more information on how to use certificates, see "Using Certificates on the
Firebox X Edge" on page 152.
Click Submit.

If you select this check box, type http:// in the browser address bar instead of the default https:// to
see the configuration pages. You can no longer connect to the Edge with https:// to see the configura-
tion pages.

Changing the HTTP server port

HTTPS typically uses TCP port 443 and HTTP typically uses TCP port 80. By default, you must connect to
the Firebox® X Edge e-Series configuration pages on those ports. You can change the default port on
the Administration > System Security page. Type the new value in the HTTP Server Port field in the
System Security configuration page shown above.
After you change the HTTP server port, you must type the port when you connect to the Firebox X Edge. For
example, if you change the HTTP server port to 880, you would type:
http://192.168.111.1:880/
For more information on using HTTP or HTTPS with the Firebox X Edge and changing the HTTP server
port, see this FAQ:
