Configuration and Management Basics
About factory default settings
The term factory default settings refers to the configuration on the Firebox X Edge when you first receive it
before you make any changes. The default network and configuration properties for the Edge are:
Trusted network
The default IP address for the trusted network is 192.168.111.1. The subnet mask for the trusted
network is 255.255.255.0.
The Firebox X Edge is configured to give IP addresses to computers on the trusted network through
DHCP. By default, the IP addresses given can be from 192.168.111.2 to 192.168.111.254.
External network
The Firebox is configured to get an IP address with DHCP.
Optional network
The optional network is disabled.
Firewall settings
All incoming policies are denied. The outgoing policy allows all outgoing traffic. Ping requests
received on the external network are denied.
System Security
The Firebox X Edge e-Series administrator account is set to the default user name of admin and the
default passphrase of admin. When you connect to the Edge, the Quick Setup Wizard includes a
dialog box for you to set the administrator account user name and passphrase. After you complete
the Quick Setup Wizard, you must use the user name and password that you selected to see the
configuration pages.
The Firebox X Edge is set up for local management from the trusted network only. Additional
configuration changes must be made to allow administration from the external network.
Upgrade Options
Upgrade options such as WebBlocker, spamBlocker, and Gateway AV/IPS are always available. You
must type the feature keys into the configuration page or use the feature key synchronization feature
to activate upgrade options. If you restore the Firebox X Edge to its factory default settings, you do
not have to type the feature keys again.
