Next Steps
Congratulations! You have finished basic setup of your Firebox. You can use the Web UI to
view and edit your configuration and to manage and monitor your device. Here are some
recommendations to help you get started:
Verify your Internet connectivity
• With your Firebox installed in your network, make sure that your users can
successfully browse the Internet.
Upgrade your Firebox to the latest OS version
Keep your Firebox current with the latest version of Fireware OS. To upgrade:
1. Go to www.watchguard.com/support and click Software Downloads.
2. Find the software downloads page for the Firebox T10.
3. Download and run the installation package for the latest version of Fireware OS.
This installs an upgrade file on your computer that you must upload to the Firebox
with the Web UI.
4. In the Web UI, select System > Upgrade OS.
5. Browse to the upgrade file. The file name is T10.sysa-dl.
This installation extracts the upgrade file to the default location of C:\Program Files(x86)\
Common files\WatchGuard\resources\FirewareXTM\<version>\
On a computer with a Windows 32-bit operating system, the path is: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\WatchGuard\resources\FirewareXTM\<version>\
