Firebox Vclass appliances for failover (backup)
protection. Incorporated into the two high-
availability Ethernet ports are two indicator lights
labeled 10 and 100.These LEDs indicate (1) a
connection to a hub or direct-connect workstation
is active, (2) the speed of the link (10 Mbps or 100
Mbps Ethernet), and (3) that traffic is being
transmitted.
This light reports on the current status of this
appliance, if it is one of two connected as a high-
availability system. If this is the primary
appliance, and the light is on and steady, the
system is functional, and this appliance is online.
If this is the primary appliance and the LED is
blinking, a failover has occurred and the
secondary appliance is on-line. (That appliance's
HA LED should be steadily lit, indicating that it is
now the primary appliance.)
For more information on HA setup, see the System
Administration Guide.
A single RJ-45 interface, labelled Console, supports
a direct workstation-to-appliance connection, at
which time you can use the WatchGuard
Command Line Interface (CLI) to administer and
test this appliance. To learn more about this
administrative option, open and review the
WatchGuard CLI User Guide included on the
installer CD.
This opening allows you to insert a straight pin or
paperclip and press an internal Reset switch that
restarts the appliance. This is an alternative to
unplugging and replugging the power cord.
