Configure firewall options
You can use the Firewall Options page to configure rules that increase your network security.
1. To connect to the System Status page, type
https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP address
of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
2. From the navigation bar, click Firewall > Firewall Options.
The Firewall Options page appears.
Firewall options are pre-configured to meet the needs of many Edge customers. Select the check box of any
option you want to enable and click Submit to save your changes to the Edge. Firewall options include:
Do not respond to ping requests
You can configure the Firebox X Edge e-Series to deny ping requests received on the trusted,
external, or optional network. This option overrides all other Edge settings.
Do not allow FTP access to the Edge
You can configure the Firebox X Edge e-Series to not allow any FTP connections from the trusted or
optional network. This option overrides all other Edge settings.
You must clear the Do not allow FTP access to the Edge from the Trusted Network check box
when you apply an update to the Firebox X Edge firmware with the automatic installer. If you do not
clear this check box, the Software Update Installer cannot move firmware files to the Edge.
