CHAPTER 8: Firebox Read-Only System Area

WatchGuard Firebox System
With the Firebox running the read-only system area, use one of two
methods to initialize the Firebox and prepare it for configuration:
•
Out-of-band via a modem
•
Direct via a serial cable
Enhanced System Mode
By default, all Fireboxes (shipped with Firebox System 4.1 or later) boot
into an Enhanced System Mode. When a Firebox is running from the
Enhanced System Mode, the Sys A light on the front panel flickers yellow
in a repeating pattern.
In a Firebox installed with Enhanced System Mode, the following
methods are available to initialize the Firebox and prepare it for
configuration:
•
Out-of-band via a modem
•
Direct via a serial cable
•
Hands-Free Installation via a local area network
•
IP connection using remote provisioning
Initializing an older Firebox with the Firebox System 4.1 or later
automatically upgrades the Firebox and enables the Firebox to run in the
Enhanced System Mode from that point forward. Until a Firebox is
initialized with Firebox System 4.1 or later, it cannot run in Enhanced
System Mode.
Initializing a Firebox using TCP/IP
TCP/IP is the recommended method for installing a new Firebox. It
requires that a Firebox is capable of running in Enhanced System Mode.
All Fireboxes shipped with Firebox System 4.1 or later can run in
Enhanced System Mode; any older box already initialized using System
4.1 or later is automatically upgraded to run in Enhanced System Mode.
To confirm that your Firebox is upgraded to run in Enhanced System
Mode, use a cross-over cable to connect any two Firebox Ethernet
