Important! Before installing the WatchGuard Firebox X, you need
to decide how to incorporate the Firebox X into your network. To
begin, select the configuration mode that most closely reflects
your existing network. There are two possible options: Routed and
Drop-in Configuration. The choices you make here will be used in step 5.
Routed Configuration (Figure 1)
This configuration is necessary when the number of
public IP addresses is limited or when you have
dynamic IP addressing on the external interface. The
Firebox is put into place with separate logical net-
works and separate network addresses on each of its
interfaces. Most networks are best served by a
Routed configuration. Public servers behind the
Firebox use private addresses, and traffic is routed
using network address translation.
