Installing the software
With WatchGuard System Manager v8.0, you can have more than one management software version on
one management station. Make sure you select a different folder name for each installation.
1 If you have not done so, download the WatchGuard System Manager software. The speed of your
Internet connection sets the time to download the software.
Ma
ke sure that you write down the name and the path of the file when you save it to your hard disk drive.
2 When the download is complete, open the file and use the instructions on the screens to help
you through the installation.
The Setup program includes a screen in which you select the components of the software or the upgrades to
install. A different license is necessary when you install some software components.
3 At the end of the installation wizard, a check box appears that you can select to start the
QuickSetup Wizard. For this upgrade, we recommend that you use the QuickSetup Wizard at this
time only if you do have no VPN tunnels and do not use VPN Manager.
Setting Up the Management Server
WatchGuard® pioneered simple, 1*2*3 VPN configuration with the Dynamic VPN Configuration Protocol
(DVCP). A DVCP server controls the VPN tunnels of a distributed enterprise from one, easy to use man-
agement interface. A limit to previous versions of WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) was that you
could only use the Firebox® as a DVCP server.
