appliance
You can use the WatchGuard CLI to perform almost all
setup and configuration tasks. We've organized the follow-
ing catalog of tasks into general categories, with references
to the series of CLI commands you would use to perform
specific tasks. We've also organized the following catalog
to chronologically guide you through the tasks in the

The general flow of this series of categories and tasks fol-
lows that of the printed WatchGuard Vclass User Guide,

tration and policy configuration tasks.
