protected from the security challenge.

Opening a Configuration File
Policy Manager is a comprehensive software tool for creat-
ing, modifying, and saving configuration files. A configu-
ration file, with the extension .
cfg
, contains all the settings,
options, addresses, and other information that constitute
your Firebox security policy. When you view the settings
in Policy Manager, you are seeing a “user friendly” version
of your configuration file.
This section describes how to open a configuration file
after one has been created. This assumes you have already
run the QuickSetup Wizard and have a basic configuration
file saved either on the Firebox or on your local hard drive.
If you have not run the QuickSetup Wizard, see Chapter 5,
“Using Policy Manager to Configure Your Network” for
information on how to create a basic configuration from
scratch.
