Fireware Migration Guide 1
What is Fireware Pro?
CHAPTER 1 Introducing WatchGuard System
Manager with Fireware Pro
WatchGuard® System Manager (WSM) v8.0 is an important software release for WatchGuard customers.
This release introduces our next-generation, Fireware™ Pro appliance software. It also enhances the cur-
rent WSM management software. With WSM v8.0, you can manage Firebox® X Edge, Firebox X Core, and
Firebox X Peak devices at the same time from the same management station. With Fireware Pro appliance
software on a Firebox X Core or Peak, you can use advanced networking features such as dynamic routing
and a feature-rich IPS.
This
Migration Guide
introduces the features of WatchGuard System Manager v8.0, as well as our Fire-
ware appliance software. It includes a feature by feature comparison between WFS and Fireware Pro
appliance software. It also shows you how to:
Install the new software package
Migrate from WFS to Fireware Pro
Restore a WFS 7.x configuration on a Firebox with Fireware appliance software
What is Fireware Pro?
Fireware™ Pro is the next generation of security appliance software available from WatchGuard.
Appliance
software
is a software application stored in the memory of your firewall hardware. The Firebox uses the
appliance software with the configuration file to operate. When you upgrade your Firebox® X Core or
Firebox X Peak device, you write a new version of the appliance software to its memory.
The WatchGuard® System Manager now supports two versions of appliance software:
WFS - This is the default appliance software on Firebox III and Firebox X Core appliances. This is an
enhanced version of the appliance software successfully used by WatchGuard customers since
1998. WatchGuard System Manager v8.0 includes WFS v7.4.
Fireware Pro - This is the default appliance software on Firebox X Peak appliances. This next
generation appliance software enables WatchGuard to expand the number of features available to
Firebox X customers. Advanced networking features like multi-WAN support, dynamic routing,
and QoS enable customers with complex networking environments to more effectively protect their
networks, while simultaneously benefiting from WatchGuard’s proactive Deep Application
Inspection capabilities.
