Putting Fireware on the Firebox

CHAPTER 3 Putting Fireware on the Firebox

There are two methods to put Fireware on a Firebox which has WFS 7.x:

• Use the Quick Setup Wizard to make a simple configuration file and to save the

configuration file and Fireware to the Firebox. This is the preferred method.

• Use the fbxinstall.exe command line utility

Using the Quick Setup Wizard

We recommend that you use the Quick Setup Wizard to put Fireware Pro on the Firebox along

with a basic configuration file. Because this procedure removes all configuration properties and

software, we strongly recommend that you back up the WFS configuration and image. See

“Saving Your WFS Configuration,” on page 12 for more information.

1 From the Windows desktop, select Start > Programs > WatchGuard System Manager 8 >

Quick Setup Wizard. Click Next to start the wizard.

2 You can connect to the Firebox with crossover cable or an Ethernet cable. Use the

Connection Method drop list to select how you connect the Firebox to the management
