Configuration and Management Basics
Restart the Firebox remotely
If you want to be able to connect to the Edge to manage it or restart it from a computer external to the Edge,
you must first configure the Edge to allow incoming HTTPS traffic to the Edge trusted interface IP address. For
more information on how to configure the Edge to receive incoming traffic, see
(incoming). Remember that if you enable HTTPS connections to the Edge, anyone who has the correct
