Updating Firebox X Edge Software
One benefit of your LiveSecurity® Service is ongoing software
updates. As new threats appear and WatchGuard adds product
enhancements, you receive alerts to let you know about new ver-
sions of your Firebox® X Edge software.
When you receive the alert, you will be provided with instructions on
how to download the software to your personal computer. Once this
download is complete, use the following instructions to update your
Firebox software:
1 Type the IP address of the trusted network in your browser
window to connect to the System Status page of the Firebox X
Edge.
The default IP address is https://192.168.111.1.
2 At the bottom of the System Status page, click Update.
The Administration Page appears with the End User License Agreement
(EULA). You can also reach this page by selecting Administration =>
Update from the navigation bar at left.
3 Read the text of the EULA. If you agree, select the I accept the
above license agreement checkbox.
4 Type the name of the file containing the new Firebox X Edge
software in the Select file box or click Browse to locate the file
on your local computer.
5 Click Update.
The Firebox checks the software package to verify it is a legimate
software upgrade. It then copies the new software to the system and
reboots. This can take 15 to 45 seconds. When the update is complete,
the System Status page appears and shows the new version number.
