Before a Firebox can appear in the Devices list, you must either configure the Firebox to send log messages to Dimension, or add it to Dimension for management.
For information about how to configure logging for your Fireboxes, go to Add a Dimension or WSM Log Server.
Add a Firebox to Dimension
To manage a Firebox with Dimension, you add the Firebox information to Dimension and then import the Dimension management file (.WGD file) to the Firebox. For instructions to add a Firebox to Dimension for management, go to Add a Firebox to Dimension for Management.
You can edit the settings for a Firebox that is connected to Dimension or remove a Firebox from the Devices list. For more information, go to:
