APPENDIX A Troubleshooting Firebox
Connectivity
This chapter provides four ways of connecting to your Firebox should
you lose connectivity. These procedures assume that you have already
created a configuration file and will be restoring the Firebox with that file.
If you have not yet created a configuration file, use the QuickSetup
Wizard to create one, as described in Chapter 3, “Getting Started.”
Loss of connection to the Firebox can occur because you lost or forgot
your passphrases, you received a new Firebox as a replacement unit, or
other reasons. But regardless of the reason you lost connectivity, you can
use any of these methods to reconnect to your Firebox (although methods
3 and 4 are specific to certain Firebox models).
Method 1: Ethernet Dongle Method
This method involves using a single crossover cable.
1 Make sure the Firebox and the Management Station are disconnected
from the network.
