Use static IP addresses for trusted computers

You can use static IP addresses for some or all of the computers on your trusted network. If you disable the
Firebox X Edge DHCP server and you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must manually
configure the IP address and subnet mask of each computer. For example, this is necessary when a client-
server software application must use a static IP address for the server. Static IP addresses must be on the same
network as the Edge trusted interface. Computers on the trusted network with static IP addresses must use
the Edge trusted interface IP address for the default gateway. If a computer does not use the Edge as the
default gateway, it usually cannot get to the external network or the Internet.
To disable the Firebox X Edge DHCP server, clear the Enable DHCP Server on the Trusted Network check
box on the Trusted Network Configuration page and click Submit.

Allow wireless connections to the trusted interface

The Firebox X Edge e-Series Wireless can be configured as a wireless access point with three different security
zones. You can enable wireless devices to connect to the Edge Wireless as part of the trusted network or part
of the optional network. You can also enable a wireless guest services network for Edge users. When you allow
wireless connections through the Edge trusted interface, those wireless devices have full access to all
computers on the trusted and optional networks, and full Internet access according to the rules you have
configured for outgoing access on your Edge.
If you enable wireless access through the trusted interface, we strongly recommend that you enable and use
the MAC restriction feature described in the next section to allow access through the Edge only for devices
that have been added to the Allowed MAC Address list.
To configure the Edge to allow wireless connections through the trusted interface, see

About restricting access to an interface by MAC address

You can control access to a Firebox X Edge e-Series interface by computer hardware (MAC) address. If this
feature is enabled, and the MAC address of a computer that tries to connect to the Edge network is not
included in this configuration, the connection fails. If you choose to restrict access to the Edge by MAC
address, make sure that you include the MAC address for the computer you use to administer the Edge.
