Quick Start — Set Up a New Firebox

You must activate your Firebox with WatchGuard to enable your hardware replacement warranty, receive technical support, and start your subscription to licensed security services.

To activate your Firebox:

1. Open a web browser and go to https://myproducts.watchguard.com/activate.
2. Log in to your WatchGuard account or create a new account*.
   * If you create a new account, return to https://myproducts.watchguard.com/activate after you finish the account creation process.
3. Type the Firebox serial number. Make sure to include any hyphens.

4. Click Next.
5. Type a friendly name to identify the Firebox in your account.
6. Click Activate.

After activation is complete, the Firebox appears in the Manage Products > Network Security list in your WatchGuard account. The activation process generates a Firebox feature key that enables you to configure licensed features and services on your Firebox. The Firebox downloads the feature key automatically during setup.

Make sure your computer is configured to use DHCP. The Firebox will assign your computer an IP address on the 10.0.1.0/24 network.

To connect and power on the Firebox:

1. Connect Firebox interface 0 to a network with Internet access.
2. Power on the Firebox.
3. Connect Firebox interface 1 to your computer, or use Wi-Fi to connect your computer to the Firebox, if supported.
   • For a Firebox M5600 or M5800, connect your computer to the management interface, interface 32.
   • For a Firebox M4800, connect your computer to the management interface, interface 24.

For wireless Firebox models that run Fireware v12.5.3 or higher, you can use Wi-Fi to connect to the Firebox for setup. Use these default Wi-Fi settings:

• SSID — Firebox model name and the last three octets of the wireless MAC address
  (for example: T35-W-A1:B2:C3)
• Password — Firebox serial number, including the dash. The Wi-Fi password is case-sensitive.

If your Firebox ships with Wi-Fi enabled, the default Wi-Fi settings are on an attached sticker. To make a Wi-Fi connection, scan the QR code or use the printed SSID and Wi-Fi key.

1. Open a web browser and go to https://10.0.1.1:8080.
   • For a Firebox M5600 or M5800, go to https://10.0.32.1:8080.
   • For a Firebox M4800, go to https://10.0.24.1:8080.
     You can safely ignore certificate warnings because the Firebox uses a self-signed certificate.
2. Log in with the user name admin and the passphrase readwrite.
3. Select your configuration method:

• Cloud-Managed (Recommended) — Configure temporary network settings for interface 0 to enable the Firebox to connect to WatchGuard Cloud and download a configuration file. After the Firebox downloads the configuration, interface 0 uses the network settings configured in WatchGuard Cloud. Before you select this option, you must add the Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud as a cloud-managed device. The default configuration for cloud-managed Fireboxes automatically enables secure default firewall policies and your licensed subscription services. For more information, go to Add a Cloud-Managed Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud.
• Locally-Managed (Create New Configuration) — Create a new configuration that you can locally manage with Fireware Web UI or WatchGuard System Manager (WSM). With this option, you use the wizard to configure external and trusted interface settings. The wizard automatically enables default firewall policies and licensed subscription services.
• RapidDeploy — (Fireware v12.5.3 or higher) Configure network settings for interface 0 to enable the Firebox to connect to WatchGuard and download a configuration file you created for RapidDeploy. Before you select this option, you must upload a configuration file for RapidDeploy. For more information, go to Deploy Your Firebox with RapidDeploy.
• Restore from Backup Image — For a Firebox reset to factory default settings, use this option to restore an exported backup image, or restore a backup image from a USB drive connected to the Firebox. For more information, go to Restore a Firebox Backup Image.

4. Follow the directions in the Web Setup Wizard to configure your Firebox.
5. Install the Firebox in your network.

If you enable wireless in the Web Setup Wizard, the setup wizard configures a trusted network bridge. The bridge uses the trusted network settings you configured in the setup wizard.

WARNING: If you disable the default trusted bridge, you lose your connection to the Firebox. Before you disable the trusted bridge, configure another trusted network interface that you can connect to.

After you use the Web Setup Wizard to create a new configuration, your Firebox:

• Allows outbound FTP, Ping, DNS, TCP, and UDP connections.
• Blocks all unrequested traffic from the external network.
• Inspects outgoing FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic.
• Uses licensed security services to protect the internal network.

For more information about policies and services the Web Setup Wizard configures, go to Setup Wizard Default Policies and Settings.

Congratulations! You have finished basic setup of your Firebox.

You can use Fireware Web UI to see and update the configuration and monitor your Firebox. You can also install and use WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) for management and monitoring, and add your Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud for logging and reporting. If your Firebox is cloud-managed, connect to WatchGuard Cloud for configuration and monitoring.

• Verify your Internet connectivity
  With your Firebox installed in your network, make sure that your users can successfully browse the Internet.

• Add your Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud
  You can add a locally-managed Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud to see cloud-based Firebox reports and alerts, and to manage Firebox firmware updates and backups. To get started, go to cloud.watchguard.com and log in with your WatchGuard Cloud account user name and password.

• Get the latest software
  Upgrade Fireware and download other software to use with your Firebox.
  • To upgrade Fireware, use one of these methods:
    • In Fireware Web UI, select System > Upgrade OS. For more information, go to Upgrade Fireware or WatchGuard System Manager.
    • To upgrade a Firebox from WatchGuard Cloud, select your Firebox and click Upgrade to firmware <version>. For more information, go to Upgrade Firmware in WatchGuard Cloud.
  • To download WatchGuard System Manager and other software to use with your Firebox, go to software.watchguard.com and select your Firebox model.

• Explore the features and functions of your Firebox
  Connect to Fireware Web UI or use WatchGuard System Manager to configure features and monitor your Firebox. If your Firebox is cloud-managed, log in to WatchGuard Cloud to configure the Firebox. Click Help on any page to learn more about any feature.

• Learn about the Firebox hardware
  For hardware specifications, environmental requirements, installation instructions, regulatory compliance, and the hardware warranty, go to the Firebox Hardware Documentation for your Firebox model.

• Learn how to reset your Firebox to factory-default settings
  If you ever need to, you can restore your Firebox to factory-default settings. For reset instructions for all Firebox models, go to Reset a Firebox.

If you reset the Firebox, the previously installed feature key is removed. When the Firebox restarts, if Interface 0 is connected to a network and can get a DHCP address, the Firebox automatically attempts to download the latest feature key from WatchGuard.
