Configuration and Management Basics
44 Firebox X Edge e-Series
Reconnect the Firebox X Edge to a management server
If your Firebox was managed by a WatchGuard System Manager Management Server, then you must do
additional steps to restore communication between your Firebox X Edge and your Management Server after
restoring your Edge configuration.
Use these steps to re-enter all WSM access configuration information on the Firebox X Edge:
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, select Administration > WSM Access.
The WatchGuard System Manager Access page appears.
3. Select the Enable remote management check box.
4. From the Management Type drop-down list, select WatchGuard System Manager.
5. To enable centralized Edge management through WatchGuard System Manager, select the Use
Centralized Management check box. When the Firebox X Edge is under centralized management,
access to the Edge configuration pages is set to read-only. The only exception is access to the WSM
Access configuration page. If you disable the remote management feature, you get read-write access
to the Edge configuration again.
Do not select this check box if you use WatchGuard System Manager only to manage VPN tunnels.
6. Type the status passphrase for your Firebox X Edge and then type it again to confirm. The passphrase
must match the passphrase you used when you added the device to WatchGuard System Manager.
7. Type a configuration passphrase for your Firebox X Edge and then type it again to confirm. The
passphrase must match the passphrase you used when you added the device to WatchGuard
System Manager.
