Allow traffic from a management server
If you have a server on the trusted or optional network that you use to manage Fireboxes on the external
network, you must change some settings in your configuration to allow that traffic through the Edge. You can
use a wizard to apply these configuration changes automatically. Before you begin the wizard, you must have
the IP address of the Management Server. From the navigation bar, select Wizards. Then select the wizard Set
up policies to allow traffic for WSM management of other Fireboxes.
About managing the Edge from a remote location
The Firebox X Edge® is configured using a web browser. The Edge web server uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
which encrypts your web connections to the Edge. Unencrypted web connections that use HTTP have http://
in the address bar and connect, by default, on port 80. Web connections that use SSL have https:// in the
address bar and connect, by default, on port 443.
To manage the Edge from a remote location, you must configure the Edge to accept HTTPS connections on
the external interface and forward those connections to the trusted interface. Then you can use a web browser
to connect to the Edge from a remote location.
If you do not type the same passphrase when you add the device to VPN Manager, you cannot
connect to the Firebox X Edge.
