If your ISP uses static IP addresses
If your ISP uses static IP addresses, you must enter the address infor-
mation into your Edge before it can send traffic through the exter-
nal interface.

the navigation bar, select Network > External.
The External Network Configuration page appears.
2 From the Configuration Mode drop-down list, select
Manual Configuration.
3 Type the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary
DNS, Secondary DNS and DNS Domain Suffix into the related
fields.
Get this information from your ISP or corporate network
administrator.

table.
4 Click Submit.

If your ISP uses PPPoE, you must enter the PPPoE information into
your Firebox before it can send traffic through the external inter-
face. For more information in PPPoE, see “About PPPoE” on page 6.
