System Security - Watchguard Firebox SOHO 6 Wireless User Manual

System security

A passphrase prevents access to the configuration of the SOHO 6
Wireless by an unauthorized user on the trusted network. The use
of a passphrase is important to the security of your network.
Record the system administrator name and passphrase in a safe location.
When system security is enabled, the system administrator name and
passphrase are required to access the configuration pages. If the system
administrator name and passphrase are unknown, you must reset the
SOHO 6 Wireless to the factory default settings. See "Factory default
settings" on page 31 for additional information.
Change the System Administrator passphrase every month. Select
a combination of eight letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use a
word. Use at least one special symbol, a number, and a mixture of
upper-case and lower-case letters for increased security.
Follow these instructions to enable system security:
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the SOHO 6
Wireless:
The default IP address is: http://192.168.111.1
2 From the navigation bar on the left side, select
Administration => System Security.
The System Security page opens.
