After you connect the WatchGuard® Firebox® X Edge e-Series to your network, you must configure the
Edge. You can create firewall rules to enforce the security requirements of your company. You can also
use the Edge configuration pages to create a user account, look at network statistics, and see the con-
figuration of the Edge.
Read this chapter to find basic information about the Firebox X Edge configuration pages and system
monitor pages. Sections in subsequent chapters have more advanced procedures.
You must complete the Quick Setup Wizard before you can see the Firebox X Edge configuration pages. For
more information, see "Using the Quick Setup Wizard" on page 19. Also, the Edge administrator must
configure your user account to see and change the configuration pages. For more information on user
accounts, see the "User and Group Management" chapter.

Connecting to the Firebox X Edge

The System Status page appears when you connect to the Firebox® X Edge e-Series. In this User Guide,
most procedures start with this step:
"To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP address of
the Firebox X Edge trusted interface. The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1. "
This opens your Firebox system configuration pages. You can change the IP address of the trusted net-
work from 192.168.111.1 to a different IP address if necessary. For more information, see "Configuring
the Trusted Network" on page 59.
For example:
Start your web browser.
1
Select File > Open, type https://192.168.111.1 in the Open text box and click OK.
2
You also can type https://192.168.111.1 directly into the address or location bar and press
Enter.
When a security certificate notification appears, click Yes. You see this warning because the
3
certificate given by the Edge is signed by the WatchGuard certificate authority, which is not a
trusted authority on your browser.
