Saving A Configuration File; Saving A Configuration To The Firebox - Watchguard Firebox X1000 User Manual

3
From the New Firebox Configuration dialog box,
select the model of Firebox you are connected to.
The new configuration file contains defaults for the model of
Firebox specified.

Saving a Configuration File

After making changes to a configuration file, you can
either save it directly to the Firebox or to a local hard disk.
When you save a new configuration directly to the Firebox,
Policy Manager might prompt you to reboot the Firebox so
that it will use the new configuration. If the Firebox does
need to be rebooted, the new policy is not active until the
rebooting process completes.

Saving a configuration to the Firebox

From Policy Manager:
1 Select File => Save => To Firebox.
You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+T.
2
Use the Firebox drop-down list to select a Firebox.
You can also type the IP address or DNS name of the Firebox.
When typing IP addresses, type the digits and periods in
sequence. Do not use the TAB or arrow key to jump past the
periods. For more information on entering IP addresses, see
"Entering IP addresses" on page 43.
3
Enter the configuration (read/write) passphrase. Click
OK.
The configuration file is saved first to the local hard disk and then
to the primary area of the Firebox flash disk.
