to configure the Firebox to receive incoming traffic, see "Configur-
ing Incoming Services" on page 105. After HTTPS traffic is allowed,
you can remotely manage your Firebox X Edge using your browser.

Selecting HTTP or HTTPS for Management

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the "language" used to move
files (text, graphic images, and multimedia files) on the Internet.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer) is a
more secure version of HTTP. When HTTPS is used, the Web server
and your browser encrypt and decrypt the information you transmit.
For better security, the Firebox® X Edge uses HTTPS by default.
