102 WatchGuard Firebox System
Initializing a Firebox Using a Modem
The WatchGuard Firebox can accept both external and PCMCIA modems.
Use a modem for out-of-band initialization and configuration in cases
where the Firebox is located remotely from the Management Station
Before starting this procedure, make sure you have:
•
Management Station running Firebox System 4.1 or later and
equipped with a modem, Dial-Up Networking software, and a
working telephone line
• Any Firebox model, equipped with an external modem and modem
cable or PCMCIA modem and a working telephone line
To initialize a Firebox via out-of-band over a modem, the Firebox must
first be prepared:
•
Use the blue null serial cable and adaptors included with the Firebox
to connect the Firebox Console port and external serial port in a
loopback configuration. Connect the Firebox Console port and
external serial.
• Turn the power on the Firebox off then on. Confirm that the Sys B
light is lit.
• The Firebox is now ready to accept the out-of-band connection.
Initializing using Remote Provisioning
Use remote provisioning to initialize a Firebox in the case where a router
sits between the Management Station and the Firebox network
connection. Because of the flexibility of being able to initialize a Firebox
from virtually any location on a network, it is a very versatile option.
However, remote provisioning has the following restrictions:
•
During provisioning, the Firebox and the router should be the only
devices on the network
• You must be able to flush the local router’s ARP tables, preferably by
rebooting
• The Firebox must be running System 4.1 or later
• The Firebox is the only device behind a working router
