46 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
If your service provider uses DHCP
The default configuration sets the Firebox X Edge to get the exter-
nal address information through DHCP. If your ISP supports this
method, the Firebox gets IP address information from the ISP when
the Firebox reboots and connects to the Internet.
For more information about DHCP, see “About DHCP” on page 5.
If your ISP uses static addressing
If your ISP assigns a static IP address, you must assign that to your
Firebox so the ISP communicates with the Firebox and not your
computer.
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
