200 WatchGuard Firebox X Edge
update on the Firebox X Edge automatically when you start it on a
Windows computer. The second method uses a smaller download
and allows you to apply the firmware updates with the Firebox X
Edge configuration pages. If you do not use Windows, install the
update with the second procedure.
Method 1
The first method uses an executable file and is the preferred method
for installing the Firebox X Edge firmware update from a Windows
computer. Download the Software Update Installer to use this
method. To use the Software Update Installer:
1 Start the installer on a computer operating Windows that is on
the trusted network of the Firebox X Edge.
2 The installer gives a prompt for an IP address, a user name and
password. Type the Firebox X Edge’s trusted interface IP
address.
The default address is 192.168.111.1
3 Type the administrator name and password. Click OK.
The installer applies the firmware update to the Firebox X Edge. As part
of the update process, the Firebox X Edge restarts one or two times —
this is usual.
4 When the Finish button appears, click it.
NOTE
Because the Installer uses FTP to transfer files, make sure your
Firebox X Edge is not configured to deny FTP access, as described
in “Denying FTP access to the trusted network interface” on
page 106.
Method 2
The second method uses the Firebox X Edge configuration pages.
This method can be used with Windows or other operating systems.
