108 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
Logging all allowed outgoing traffic
If you use the standard property settings, the Firebox X Edge records
only unusual events. When traffic is denied, the Edge records the
information in the log file. You can configure the Edge to record
information about all the outgoing traffic in the log file.

Recording all outgoing traffic creates a large number of log
records. We recommend that you record all the outgoing traffic
only as a problem-solving tool, unless you send log messages to a
remote Log Server.
To record all outgoing traffic:
1 Select the Log All Allowed Outbound Access check box.
2 Click Submit.
Changing the MAC address of the external interface
Some ISPs use a MAC address to identify the computers on their
network. Each MAC address gets one static IP address. If your ISP
uses this method to identify your computer, then you must change
the MAC address of the Firebox X Edge. Use the MAC address of the
cable modem, DSL modem, or router that connected directly to the
ISP in your original configuration. The MAC address must have these
properties:
• The MAC address must use 12 hexadecimal characters.
Hexadecimal characters have a value between 0 and 9 or
between “a” and “f”.
• The MAC address must operate with:
- One or more addresses on the external network
- The MAC address of the trusted network for the Firebox X Edge
- The MAC address of the optional network for the The Firebox X
Edge
• You cannot set the MAC address to 000000000000
• You cannot set the MAC address to ffffffffffff
