Starting The Firebox Vclass Appliance Setup; Configuring More Than One Security Appliance - Watchguard Firebox V10 Installation Manual

Starting the Firebox Vclass
CHAPTER 3
Appliance Setup
This chapter will guide you through the initial process of turning on a
new WatchGuard Firebox Vclass security appliance, then installing the
WatchGuard Vcontroller software. Once this process is complete, you can
use the Vcontroller to prepare your appliance for network use, as detailed
in the following chapter.
If you choose, you can use the WatchGuard Command Line Interface
(CLI) from your workstation to initiate this process. This is detailed in
"Extra: Using the WatchGuard CLI to record an IP address" on page 44.

Configuring more than one security appliance

If you already have one or more operational Firebox Vclass appliances in
your network, you can shortcut the installation and configuration process
on a new factory-default appliance. To do so, you would first export a
complete security appliance configuration from an operational appliance
and then import it into the new appliance. Once this is done, you can
change a few key settings and have a fully-functional appliance in
location and ready for use. For more information, turn to "Importing a
Profile into a New Appliance" on page 71.
