WFS Appliance Software Issues
WatchGuard Firebox System 7.3 Users
WatchGuard released the final version of WFS 7.3 on December 23, 2004. WatchGuard System Manager 8.0 and
Fireware Pro Beta2 includes the WFS 7.3 appliance software with some minor differences.
Differences
WFS 7.4Beta2 includes the SYNFlood and Link Negotiation hotfixes. It does not include the PPPoE hotfix.
WFS 7.4 requires that you move your DVCP server from the Firebox to a computer.
WFS 7.4 does not support Basic DVCP.
The Management Server is the computer you use as the DVCP server. It can not be a Firebox.
The VPN Manager is now known as the WatchGuard System Manager.
You can not use the WatchGuard System Manager to connect to a Firebox DVCP server with WFS 7.3 or
earlier firmware. The WSM will only connect to WSM 8.0 DVCP servers. It will also connect directly to Firebox
devices with WFS 7.4 or Fireware 8.0 firmware.
WFS 7.4Beta2 includes the Gateway AntiVirus for E-mail feature.
File Locations
In our continuing effort to clean up the locations of data files used/created by the WatchGuard System Manager
software, we changed the default location of many important files in the Beta7 release. We do not plan to make
any more changes to the locations of these files.
General File Locations
This table describes the location where data files are stored by the WatchGuard System Manager software. Since
it is possible to configure the Windows OS to place these directories on different disk drives, you will need to
determine the exact location of these files based on the configuration of Windows on your computer.
File Type Location
User Created Data C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My WatchGuard\
(User created data includes files such as Firebox Config files, License files, and
certificates. In many case, the WSM software will create subfolders in the My
WatchGuard folder to store these files)
User Created Data (Shared) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared WatchGuard
Firebox Configuration Files C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My WatchGuard\Configs
<username> = the Windows username for the current user
