Configuration and Management Basics
About upgrade options
You use two items to add upgrades to your Firebox X Edge: a feature key and a license key. It is important to
understand the differences between these two keys.
Your Firebox X Edge comes with certain features by default. These features are specified by the feature key. If
you purchase an upgrade for your Edge, you must apply a new feature key to your Edge.
You do not immediately get a feature key when you upgrade your Edge, however. When you purchase an
upgrade, you receive a license key. You must enter this key on the LiveSecurity web site to get a new feature
key. You then add the feature key to your Edge configuration or use the feature key synchronization feature
to have the Edge connect to the LiveSecurity web site and download the new feature key.
Available upgrade options
User licenses
A seat license upgrade allows more connections between the trusted network and the external
network. For example, a 5-seat user license upgrade allows five more connections to the external
network.
Mobile VPN with IPSec Clients
The Mobile VPN with IPSec Clients upgrade allows a larger number of remote users to connect to the
Firebox X Edge through a secure (IPSec) VPN tunnel. These users have access to resources on the
trusted and optional networks.
WebBlocker
The WebBlocker upgrade enables you to control access to web content. For more information, see
About WebBlocker
.
spamBlocker
The spamBlocker upgrade allows you to filter spam and bulk email. For more information, see About
spamBlocker.
Gateway AV/IPS
The Gateway AV/IPS upgrade enables you to block viruses and prevent intrusion attempts by hackers.
For more information, see About Gateway AntiVirus and Intrusion Prevention
.
Edge Pro
The Edge Pro appliance software upgrade allows you to enable a second external interface on your
Firebox X Edge e-Series. If you configure your Firebox for multi-WAN, you can use policy-based
routing to match a firewall policy with a specific external interface. You can also enable the
VLAN tagging feature.
Add a feature to your Firebox X Edge
When you purchase an upgrade for your Firebox X Edge, you receive a license key. This can be a paper
certificate or an email message. You can use this procedure to manually apply a new feature key to your Edge,
or you can use the feature key synchronization feature available on the System Status page to automatically
apply your feature key after you activate it on the LiveSecurity web site.
1. Register the license key and copy the new feature key, as described in Get a feature key
.
2. 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.
3. Accept the security certificate.
4. Type the Administrator User Name and Password when prompted.
