WatchGuard System Manager

Introduction
WatchGuard® System Manager gives you an easy and efficient way to manage your network and keep it
secure. With one computer as a management station, you can view, manage, and monitor each Firebox® device in your network.
The basic components of WatchGuard System Manager are the WatchGuard System Manager window,
and the four WSM server components. WatchGuard System Manager also provides access to other
WatchGuard tools, including Policy Manager and Firebox System Manager. The diagram below shows
the components of WatchGuard System Manager and how you can access and navigate among them.
Components of WatchGuard System Manager
User Guide
1
WatchGuard System Manager Tools
WatchGuard System Manager Tools
When you purchase a WatchGuard® Firebox® X Core or Peak, you get access to a full suite of management and monitoring tools.
WatchGuard System Manager
WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) is your primary application for connecting to and managing
Firebox® devices and WatchGuard Management Servers. WSM supports mixed environments. You can
manage different Firebox devices that use different versions of software. You can also centrally manage
Firebox X Edge devices.
Policy Manager
Policy Manager is the user interface for firewall configuration tasks. Policy Manager includes a full set of
preconfigured packet filters and proxies. You can also make a custom packet filter in which you set the
ports, protocols, and other parameters. Other features of Policy Manager help you to stop attacks such
as SYN Flood attacks, spoofing attacks, and port or address space probes.
Firebox System Manager
Firebox System Manager gives you one interface to monitor all components of your Firebox. From
Firebox System Manager, you can see the real-time status of the Firebox and its configuration.
About the WatchGuard System Manager Window
The WatchGuard® System Manager window has menus and icons you can use to start other tools, as
shown in the figure below.
The WatchGuard System Manager window also has two tabs that you can use to monitor and manage
your Firebox® devices and environment: Device Status and Device Management.
Device Status
Information about a device you connect to appears in the WatchGuard System Manager Device Status
tab. The information that appears includes the status, IP address, and MAC address for each Ethernet

WatchGuard System Manager
About the WatchGuard System Manager Window
interface, and the installed certificates. It also includes the status of all virtual private network (VPN)
tunnels that are configured in WSM.
Expanded information for each Firebox includes the IP address and subnet mask of each Firebox interface. It also includes:
•
IP address and netmask of the default gateway (for external interfaces only).
•
Media Access Control (MAC) address of the interface.
•
Number of packets sent and received on each interface since the last Firebox restart.
The Device Status tab also includes information on:
Branch Office VPN Tunnels
Below the Firebox Status is a section on branch office virtual private network (BOVPN) tunnels.
There are two types of IPSec BOVPN tunnels: VPN tunnels built manually using Policy Manager
(manual BOVPN tunnels) and VPN tunnels built using the Management Server (managed BOVPN
tunnels).
Mobile User VPN tunnels
After the branch office VPN tunnels entry is an entry for Mobile User VPN tunnels. This entry
shows the same information as for Branch Office VPN tunnels. It includes the tunnel name, the
destination IP address, and the tunnel type. Packet information, the key expiration date,
authentication, and encryption data also appear.
PPTP VPN tunnels
For PPTP RUVPN tunnels, WatchGuard System Manager shows only the quantity of sent and
received packets. (The volume of bytes and total volume of bytes are not applicable to PPTP
tunnels.)
Connection status
The tree view for each device shows one of four possible states. The status descriptions are:
- Normal icon: Usual operation. The device is successfully sending data to WatchGuard System
Manager.
- Yellow question mark: The device has a dynamic IP address and has not yet contacted the
Management Server.
User Guide

About WatchGuard Servers
- Red exclamation point and gray icon: WatchGuard System Manager cannot make a network
connection to the device at this time.
- No exclamation point and gray icon: The device is being contacted for the first time or has not
been contacted yet.
Device Management
The Device Management tab shows a navigation pane and an information pane. The navigation pane
shows the connected WatchGuard Management Servers and their devices, managed VPNs, and managed Firebox X Edge configurations. The information pane shows more detailed information for any
item you select in the navigation pane.
This tab also shows Management Servers connected directly to WatchGuard System Manager and the
devices connected to those servers. A device managed by the Management Server can also appear on
the Device Status tab if it is connected directly to WatchGuard System Manager.
About WatchGuard Servers
You use the WatchGuard® toolbar to start, stop, and configure the four types of WatchGuard server
software:
•
Management Server
•
Log Server
•
Quarantine Server
•
WebBlocker Server
The WatchGuard toolbar is one of the toolbars in the Windows System Tray at lower-right corner of
your computer screen. (If you have not installed any WatchGuard server software on your management
station, you do not see the WatchGuard toolbar.)
From left to right, the icons on the toolbar manage these servers.
Management Server
The Management Server operates on a Windows computer. With this server, you can manage all
firewall devices and create virtual private network (VPN) tunnels using a simple drag-and-drop
function. The basic functions of the Management Server are:
- Centralized management of VPN tunnel configurations
- Certificate authority to distribute certificates for Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) tunnels
- Centralized management of multiple Firebox and Firebox® X Edge devices
For more information on the Management Server, see the “Management Server Setup and
Administration” chapter.
Log Server
The Log Server collects log messages from each WatchGuard Firebox. The log messages are
encrypted when they are sent to the Log Server. The log message format is XML (plain text). The
information collected from firewall devices includes traffic log messages, event log messages,
alarms, and diagnostic messages.
For more information on the Log Server, see the “Logging and Notification” chapter.

WatchGuard System Manager
About Fireware and Fireware Pro
Quarantine Server
The Quarantine Server collects and isolates email messages that are suspected to be email spam
by spamBlocker.
For more information on the Quarantine Server, see the “Quarantine Server” chapter.
WebBlocker Server
The WebBlocker Server operates with the Firebox HTTP proxy to deny user access to specified
categories of web sites. During Firebox configuration, the administrator sets the categories of
web sites to allow or block.
For more information on the WebBlocker Server, see the “WebBlocker” chapter.
About Fireware and Fireware Pro
WatchGuard® Fireware® is the next generation of security appliance software available from WatchGuard. Appliance software is kept in the memory of your firewall hardware. The Firebox® uses the appliance software with a configuration file to operate.
Your organization’s security policy is a set of rules that define how you protect your computer network
and the information that passes through it. Fireware appliance software has advanced features to manage security policies for the most complex networks.
Two versions of Fireware are available to WatchGuard customers:
•
Fireware—This is the default appliance software on Firebox X Core e-Series devices. This next
generation appliance software enables WatchGuard to expand the number of features available
to Firebox X customers.
•
Fireware Pro—This is the default appliance software on Firebox X Peak e-Series appliances.It
enables customers with complex networks to more effectively protect their networks. Fireware
Pro is available as an update for previously released Firebox X Core devices. The following
features are available only with Fireware Pro:
- High Availability
- Traffic Management/Quality of Service (QoS)

- Policy-based routing
- Server load balancing
- The multi-WAN configuration options: Weighted Round-robin and Interface Overflow
WatchGuard System Manager also includes the system tools you must have to configure and manage a
Firebox X device that uses WFS appliance software. WFS appliance software is the default appliance
software that shipped with earlier models of the Firebox X Core and Peak. For more information about
WFS appliance software, see the WFS User Guide.
After a Firebox is put in WSM management, the software automatically identifies which appliance software the Firebox uses. If you select the Firebox and then click an icon on the toolbar, it starts the correct
management tool. These tools include:
•
Firebox System Manager
•
Policy Manager
•
HostWatch™
For example, if you add a Firebox X700 operating with WFS appliance software to the Devices tab of
WFS and then click the Policy Manager icon on the WSM toolbar, Policy Manager for WFS automatically

Getting Started
Historically, organizations used many tools, systems, and personnel to control the security of their networks. Different computer systems controlled access, authentication, virtual private networking, and
network control. These expensive systems are not easy to use together or to keep up-to-date.
WatchGuard® System Manager (WSM) supplies an integrated solution to manage your network and
control security problems. This chapter tells you how to install WatchGuard System Manager into your
network.
Installing WatchGuard System Manager
WatchGuard® System Manager (WSM) includes firewall appliance software and management software.
Use the WSM software to configure and monitor the Firebox®.
To install the WatchGuard System Manager software, you must:
•
Collect your network addresses and information.
•
Select a network configuration mode.
•
Select to install the Management Server, Log Server, WebBlocker Server, and Quarantine Server
software on the same computer as your management software, or on a different computer.
•
Configure the management station.
•
Use a Quick Setup Wizard to make a basic configuration file.
•
Put the Firebox into operation on your network.
This chapter gives the default information for a Firebox with a Firebox configuration with a trusted,
external, and optional interface configured. To configure additional interfaces on your Firebox, use the
configuration tools and procedures in the “Network Configuration” chapter.

Collecting network information
Firebox feature keys
When you get a new Firebox, you must activate it on the LiveSecurity® web site and get a feature key.
The feature key enables the features on your Firebox.
You get a new feature key for any optional products when you purchase them.
Network addresses
We recommend that you make two tables when you configure your Firebox. Use the first table for your
network IP addresses before you put the Firebox into operation.
WatchGuard uses slash notation to show the subnet mask.

Selecting a firewall configuration mode
You must decide how to install the Firebox into your network before you install
WatchGuard System Manager. How you install the Firebox controls the interface configuration. To
install the Firebox into your network, select the configuration mode—routed or drop-in—that matches
the needs of your current network.
Many networks operate best with a routed configuration, but we recommend the drop-in mode if:
•
You have already assigned a large number of static IP addresses and do not want to change your
network configuration.
•
You cannot configure the computers on your trusted and optional networks that have public IP
addresses with private IP addresses.
This table and the descriptions below the table show three conditions that can help you to select a firewall configuration mode.
User Guide
Routed Configuration
Drop-in Configuration
All interfaces of the Firebox are on
different networks.
All interfaces of the Firebox are on the
same network and have the same IP
address.
Trusted and optional interfaces must be
on different networks. Each interface has
an IP address on its network.
The computers on the trusted or optional
interfaces can have a public IP address.
Use static NAT (network address
translation) to map public addresses to
private addresses behind the trusted or
optional interfaces.
The computers that have public access
have public IP addresses. Thus, no NAT is
necessary.
9
Installing WatchGuard System Manager
Routed configuration
Use the routed configuration when you have a small number of public IP addresses or when your Firebox gets its external IP address with PPPoE (point-to-point protocol over Ethernet) or DHCP (dynamic
host configuration protocol).
In a routed configuration, you install the Firebox with different subnets on each of its interfaces. The
public servers behind the Firebox can use private IP addresses. The Firebox uses NAT to route traffic
from the external network to the public servers.
The requirements for a routed configuration are:
•
All interfaces of the Firebox must be configured on different subnets. The minimum
configuration includes the external and trusted interfaces. You also can configure one or more
optional interfaces.
•
All computers connected to the trusted and optional interfaces must have an IP address from
that network. For example, a computer on a trusted interface in the previous figure could have
an IP address of 10.10.10.200 but not 192.168.10.200, which is on the optional interface.
Drop-in configuration
In a drop-in configuration, the Firebox is configured with the same IP address on all interfaces. The
drop-in configuration mode distributes the network’s logical address range across the Firebox interfaces. You can put the Firebox between the router and the LAN and not have to change the configuration of any local computers. This configuration is known as drop-in because the Firebox is “dropped in”
to a network.
In drop-in mode:
•
The same primary IP address is automatically assigned to all interfaces on your Firebox (external,
trusted, and optional).
•
You can assign secondary networks on any interface.
•
You can keep the same IP addresses and default gateways for hosts on your trusted and optional
networks, and add a secondary network address to the Firebox interface so the Firebox can
correctly send traffic to the hosts on these networks.
The public servers behind the Firebox can continue to use public IP addresses. The Firebox does not
use network address translation to route traffic from outside your network to your public servers.
10
WatchGuard System Manager
Installing WatchGuard System Manager
The properties of a drop-in configuration are:
•
You must have a static external IP address to assign to the Firebox.
•
You use one logical network for all interfaces.
•
Drop-in mode does not support multi-WAN in Round-robin or Failover mode. For more
information on these options, see the “Network Setup with Multiple External Interfaces” chapter.
It is sometimes necessary to flush the ARP cache of each computer on the trusted network, but this is
not common.
Selecting where to install server software
During installation, you can install the management station and WatchGuard System Manager server
components on the same computer. Or you can use the same installation procedure to install the Log
Server, WebBlocker Server, or Quarantine Server components on other computers to distribute server
load or supply redundancy. The Management Server does not operate correctly on a computer that
does not also have WSM software installed. To decide where to install server software, you must examine the capacity of your management station and select the installation method that matches your
needs.
If you install server software on a computer with an active desktop firewall other than Windows Firewall, you must open the ports necessary for the servers to connect through the firewall. Windows Firewall users do not have to change their desktop firewall configuration because the installation program
opens the necessary ports through Windows Firewall automatically. See “Installing WatchGuard Servers on computers with desktop firewalls” on page 19 for more information.
Setting up the management station
You install WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) software on a computer that you designate as the
management station. This software shows the traffic through the firewall. WatchGuard System Manager also shows connection and tunnel status. The WatchGuard Log Server records information it
receives from the Firebox. You can get access to this data using tools on the management station.
Select one computer on your network as the management station and install the management software. To install the WatchGuard System Manager software on your Windows-based management station, you must have administrative privileges. After installation, you can operate with Windows XP or
Windows 2003 Power User privileges.
User Guide
11
Quick Setup Wizard
You can download the most current WatchGuard System Manager software at any time from
https://www.watchguard.com/archive/softwarecenter.asp. You must log in with your LiveSecurity user
name and password. If you are a new user, create a user profile and activate your product at
http://www.watchguard.com/activate before you try to download the WSM software.
1
Download the latest WatchGuard System Manager (WSM) software. You must also download
and install the latest Fireware appliance software to your management station. You use the WSM
software with the Quick Setup Wizard to create a basic configuration file for your Firebox.
Make sure that you write down the name and the path of the files when you save them to your hard
drive.
2
Open the file and use the installation instructions.
The Setup program includes a screen in which you select the components of the software or the
upgrades to install. A different license is necessary when you install some software components.
If your management station is operating with a Windows toolbar, some users find it necessary to close and
restart the toolbar to see the new components installed for the WatchGuard Management System.
Software encryption levels
The management station software is available in two encryption levels.
Base
Supports 40-bit encryption for PPTP RUVPN tunnels. You cannot create an IPSec VPN tunnel with
this level of encryption.
Strong
Supports 40-bit and 128-bit encryption for PPTP RUVPN. Also supports 56-bit and 168-bit DES,
and 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit AES.
To use virtual private networking with IPSec, you must download the strong encryption software.
Strong export limits apply to the strong encryption software. It is possible that it is not available for
download.
Backing up your previous configuration
If you have a previous version of WatchGuard System Manager, make a backup of your security policy
configuration before you install a new version. To create a backup of your configuration, see the “Basic
Configuration Setup” chapter.
Quick Setup Wizard
You can use a Quick Setup Wizard to create a basic configuration for your Firebox® X. The Firebox uses
this basic configuration file when it starts for the first time. This enables the Firebox to operate as a
basic firewall. You can use this same procedure any time you want to reset the Firebox to a new basic
configuration for recovery or other reasons.
When you configure the Firebox with the Quick Setup Wizard, you set only the basic policies (TCP outgoing, FTP packet filter, ping, and WatchGuard) and interface IP addresses. If you have more software
applications and network traffic for the Firebox to examine, you must:
12
•
Configure the policies on the Firebox to let necessary traffic through
•
Set the approved hosts and properties for each policy
•
Balance the requirement to protect your network against the requirements of your users to get
access to external resources
WatchGuard System Manager
Quick Setup Wizard
Quick Setup Wizard
The Quick Setup Wizard runs as a Windows application to help you make a basic configuration file. You
can use the Quick Setup Wizard with any model of Firebox X Core or Peak. The Firebox uses this basic
configuration file when it starts for the first time. This enables the Firebox to operate as a basic firewall.
After the Firebox is configured with this basic configuration, you can use Policy Manager to expand or
change the Firebox configuration.
The Quick Setup Wizard uses a device discovery procedure to find the Firebox X model you are configuring. This procedure uses a UDP multicast. Software firewalls, including the firewall in Microsoft Windows XP SP2, can cause problems with device discovery.
You can start the Quick Setup Wizard from the Windows desktop or from
WatchGuard® System Manager. From the desktop, select:
Start > All Programs > WatchGuard System Manager 9.1 > Quick Setup Wizard
From System Manager, select:
Tools > Quick Setup Wizard
Setting the log encryption key
In the Quick Setup Wizard, you must set a status and configuration passphrase for the Firebox. When
you are ready to configure a Log Server to collect log messages from the Firebox, use the status passphrase you set in the Quick Setup Wizard as your default log encryption key. After your Log Server is
configured, you can change your log encryption key if you want. For more information, see the “Logging and Notification” chapter.
Web Quick Setup Wizard
In addition to the Windows-based Quick Setup Wizard, you can also use the Web Quick Setup Wizard
to configure your Firebox. You can use the Web Quick Setup Wizard with any model of Firebox X Core
or Peak. If you have configured a Firebox X Core or X Peak before, you must understand that the Web
Quick Setup Wizard operates differently than the Quick Setup Wizard that shipped with earlier Firebox
X hardware models. With earlier Firebox X Core and Peak devices, the Quick Setup Wizard used device
discovery to find a Firebox on the network to configure. With the Web Quick Setup Wizard, you must
make a direct network connection to the Firebox and use a web browser to start the wizard. The Firebox uses DHCP from its interface 1 to give a new IP address to your management station to use during
configuration.
Before you start the Web Quick Setup Wizard, make sure you have:
•
Registered your Firebox with LiveSecurity® Service
•
Stored a copy of your Firebox feature key in a text file on your management station
•
Downloaded WSM and Fireware® software from the LiveSecurity Service web site to your
management station
•
Installed the Fireware executable on your management station
•
Configured your management station to accept an IP address automatically (through DHCP)
The HTTP connection made to the Firebox when you use the Web Quick Setup Wizard is not encrypted.
We recommend that you connect your management station directly to the Firebox when you use the
Web Quick Setup Wizard, because passphrases are sent in plain-text format.
User Guide
13
Putting the Firebox into Operation
Using the Web Quick Setup Wizard
1
Connect the red cross-over Ethernet cable that ships with your Firebox between the Ethernet
port on your management station and the interface 1 on your Firebox.
2
Plug the power cord into the Firebox power input and into a power source.
3
On the front of the Firebox X, press the down arrow button while you turn on the power to the
Firebox.
The Firebox X boots into safe mode. While in this factory-default mode, the LCD shows the
model number followed by the word “safe” in lower-case characters.
4
Make sure your management station is configured to accept DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
For example, if your management station uses Windows XP:
From your Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Control Panel > Network Connections
> Local Area Connections. Click Properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click
Properties. Make sure Obtain an IP Address Automatically is selected.
5
Open a web browser and type: http://10.0.1.1:8080/
Make sure you type the preceding “http://” if you use Internet Explorer. This opens an HTTP
connection between your management station and the Firebox X device. The Web Quick Setup
Wizard starts automatically.
If you leave the Web Quick Setup Wizard idle for 15 minutes or more, you must go back to step 3
and start again.
After the Firebox is configured with this basic configuration, you can use Policy Manager to expand or
change the Firebox configuration.
Using the Web Quick Setup Wizard for recovery
You can use the Web Quick Setup Wizard when you first configure your Firebox X device. You can also
use the Web Quick Setup Wizard if you want to reset a Firebox with a new configuration because you
forgot the password or because the Firebox is deploying in a new network.
If you use the Web Quick Setup Wizard for recovery and you have purchased a Firebox hardware model
upgrade, you must make sure that the feature key you put in the wizard is the feature key that you
received with the model upgrade.
Troubleshooting problems with the Web Quick Setup Wizard
If the Web Quick Setup Wizard is unable to install Fireware appliance software on the Firebox, the wizard times out after six minutes. If you have problems with the wizard, check these things:
•
It is possible that the Fireware application software file you downloaded from the LiveSecurity
web site is corrupted. If the software image is corrupted, you can sometimes see a message on
the LCD interface: “File Truncate Error.” Download the software again and try the wizard once
more.
•
If you use Internet Explorer 6, clear the file cache in your web browser and try again. To clear the
cache, from the Internet Explorer toolbar select Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.
Putting the Firebox into Operation
After you run the Quick Setup Wizard, you might need to wait a minute or so before your Firebox® is
ready. This is particularly true with the Firebox X Peak models 5500e, 6500e, 8500e, and 8500e-F.
When you finish with either Quick Setup Wizard, you have completed the installation of your Firebox.

After Your Installation
You have satisfactorily installed, configured, and put your new WatchGuard® System Manager into
operation on your network. Here are some basic procedures and some more information to think
about.
Customizing your security policy
Your security policy controls who can get into your network, where they can go, and who can get out.
The configuration file of your Firebox® makes the security policy.
The configuration file that you make with the Quick Setup Wizard is only a basic configuration. You can
make a configuration file that aligns your security policy with your requirements. To do this, add packet
filter and proxy policies to set what you let in and out of your network. Each policy can have an effect
on your network. The policies that increase your network security can decrease access to your network.
User Guide
17
Upgrading to a New Version of Fireware
The policies that increase access to your network can put the security of your network at risk. When you
select these policies, you must select a range of balanced policies based on your organization and the
computer equipment that you protect. For a new installation, we recommend that you use only packet
filter policies until all your systems operate correctly. As necessary, you can add proxy policies.
Features of the LiveSecurity Service
Your Firebox includes a subscription to LiveSecurity® Service. Your subscription:
•
Makes sure that you get the newest network protection with the newest software upgrades
•
Gives solutions to your problems with full technical support resources
•
Prevents service interruptions with messages and configuration help for the newest security
problems
•
Helps you to find out more about network security through training resources
•
Extends your network security with software and other features
•
Extends your hardware warranty with advanced replacement
Upgrading to a New Version of Fireware
Occasionally, we make new versions of WatchGuard® System Manager (WSM) and Fireware® appliance
software available to Firebox® users with active LiveSecurity® subscriptions. To upgrade from one version of WSM with Fireware to a new version of WSM with Fireware:
1
Back up your current Firebox configuration file and Management Server configuration files.
For more information on how to create a backup image of your Firebox configuration, see “About
Firebox Backup Images” on page 75.
To back up the settings on your Management Server, use the Management Server Backup and
Restore Wizard. For more information on this wizard, see the “Management Server Setup and
Administration” chapter.
2
Use Windows Add or Remove Programs to uninstall your existing WatchGuard System Manager
and WatchGuard Fireware installation. You can have more than one version of WatchGuard
System Manager client software installed on your management station, but only one version of
WatchGuard server software.
3
Launch the file or files that you downloaded from the LiveSecurity web site and use the onscreen procedure.
4
To save the upgrade to the appliance, use Policy Manager to open your Firebox X Core or Firebox
X Peak configuration file and use the on-screen instructions to convert the configuration file to
the newer version and save it to the Firebox.
If you do not see on-screen instructions or have problems with this procedure, open Policy
Manager and select File > Upgrade. Browse to your installation directory or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\WatchGuard\resources\Fireware\9.1 and select the WGU file.
Click OK.
The upgrade procedure can take up to 15 minutes and automatically reboots the Firebox.
If your Firebox has been operating for some time before you upgrade, it is possible you could have to
restart the Firebox before you start the upgrade to clear the temporary memory on the Firebox. If, during the upgrade, you see an error message about \var\tmp2\cmm_upgrade_sys.tar, reboot your Firebox and start the upgrade again.

WatchGuard System Manager
Downgrading to WSM 9.0 or Earlier
Downgrading to WSM 9.0 or Earlier
If you have problems when you upgrade your management station to 9.1, you can downgrade your
Firebox® to an earlier version of Fireware®. You can downgrade a Firebox in two ways:
•
If you have a backup file created with an earlier version of Fireware, you can restore it to the
Firebox. The backup file must have an .fxi file extension. The default location for backup files is
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared WatchGuard\backups.
•
If you do not have a backup file, you can use an older version of WSM to save the matching
version of Fireware to the Firebox, run the Quick Setup Wizard, and then save your configuration
to the Firebox.
If you have a backup file
1
Start WatchGuard® System Manager. The version must match the version used to save the
backup file.
2
Connect to the Firebox and start Policy Manager.
3
Select File > Restore.
4
Navigate to the .fxi file and restore the Firebox.
When the restore is complete, the Firebox reboots. It will run the version of Fireware it had at the time
the backup file was saved.
If you do not have a backup file
1
On your management station, install the version of Fireware that matches your version of WSM
(for example v9.0).
2
Open Policy Manager v9.0 and select File > Upgrade to install Fireware v9.0.
3
Run the v9.0 Quick Setup Wizard and use it to save a basic configuration to the Firebox.
4
Open your policy in Policy Manager v9.0 and save it to the Firebox.
Installation Topics
This section gives additional information about setting up your Firebox®.
Installing WSM and keeping an older version
You can install the current version of WSM and keep the old version if you remove the server software
(Management Server, Log Server, Quarantine Server, and WebBlocker Server) from the older version of
WSM. Because you can have only one version of the servers installed, you must remove the previous
version before you install the current WSM version along with the current server software.
Installing WatchGuard Servers on computers with desktop firewalls
Desktop firewalls can block the ports necessary for WatchGuard® server components to operate. Before
you install the Management Server, Log Server, Quarantine Server, or WebBlocker Server on a computer with an active desktop firewall, you might need to open the necessary ports on the desktop firewall. Windows Firewall users do not need to change their configuration because the installation
program opens the necessary ports in Windows Firewall automatically.

Adding secondary networks to your configuration
A secondary network is a different network that connects to a Firebox interface with a switch or hub.
When you add a secondary network, you map a second IP address to the Firebox interface. You make
(or add) an IP alias to the network interface. This secondary network address you set is the default gateway for all the computers on the secondary network. The secondary network also tells the Firebox that
one more network is on the Firebox interface.
To add a secondary network, do one of these procedures:
Use a Quick Setup Wizard during installation
If you configure the Firebox in drop-in mode, you can enter an IP address for the secondary network in
the Quick Setup Wizard. This is the default gateway for your secondary private network.
Add the secondary network after the Firebox installation is complete
If you configure the Firebox in routed mode, or at any time after you use a Quick Setup Wizard, you can
use Policy Manager to add secondary networks to an interface. For information on how to do this, see
the “Network Setup and Configuration” chapter in this guide.
Dynamic IP support on the external interface
If you use dynamic IP addresses, you must configure your Firebox in routed mode when you use a
Quick Setup Wizard.
If you select DHCP, the Firebox tells a DHCP server controlled by your Internet service provider (ISP) to
give the Firebox its IP address, gateway, and netmask. This server can also give DNS server information
20
WatchGuard System Manager
Installation Topics
for your Firebox. If it does not give you that information, you must add it manually to your configuration. If necessary, you can change the IP addresses that your ISP gives you.
You also can use PPPoE. As with DHCP, the Firebox makes a PPPoE protocol connection to the PPPoE
server of your ISP. This connection automatically configures your IP address, gateway, and netmask.
If you use PPPoE on the external interface, you must have the PPP user name and password when you
configure your network. If your ISP gives you a domain name to use, type your user name in the format
“user@domain” when you use a Quick Setup Wizard.
A static IP address is necessary for the Firebox to use some functions. When you configure the Firebox
to receive dynamic IP addresses, the Firebox cannot use these functions:
•
High Availability (not available on Firebox 500)
•
Drop-in mode
•
1-to-1 NAT on an external interface
•
MUVPN
•
RUVPN with PPTP
If your ISP uses a PPPoE connection to give a static IP address, the Firebox allows you to enable MUVPN and
RUVPN with PPTP because the IP address is static.
Entering IP addresses
When you enter IP addresses in a Quick Setup Wizard or WSM dialog boxes, type the digits and periods
in the correct sequence. Do not use the TAB key, arrow key, spacebar, or mouse to put your cursor after
the periods. For example, if you type the IP address 172.16.1.10, do not type a space after you type “16.”
Do not try to put your cursor after the subsequent period to type “1.” Type a period directly after “16,”
and then type “1.10.” Press the slash (/) key to move to the netmask.
About slash notation
Use slash notation to enter the netmask. In slash notation, one number shows how many bits of the IP
address identify the network that the host is on. A netmask of 255.255.255.0 has a slash equivalent of
8+8+8=24. For example, an IP address 192.168.42.23/24 is equivalent to an IP address of 192.168.42.23
with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
This table shows the network masks and their slash equivalents.

Installation Topics
Installing the Firebox cables
Connect the power cable to the Firebox power input and to a power source.
We recommend that you use a straight Ethernet cable (green) to connect your management station to
a hub or switch. Use a different straight Ethernet cable to connect your Firebox to the same hub or
switch.
You also can use a red crossover cable to connect the Firebox trusted interface to the management station Ethernet port.

Setting refresh interval and pausing the display
All tabs on Firebox System Manager have, at the bottom of the screen, a drop-down list to set the
refresh interval, and a Pause button to stop the display:
Refresh Interval
The refresh interval is the polling interval; the time between refreshes of the display. You can
change the interval of time (in seconds) that Firebox System Manager gets the Firebox
information and sends updates to the user interface.
You must balance how frequently you get information and the load on the Firebox. Be sure to
examine the refresh interval on each tab. When a tab gets new information for its display, the
text “Refreshing...” appears adjacent to the Refresh Interval drop-down list. A shorter time
interval gives a more accurate display, but creates more load on the Firebox. From Firebox
System Manager, use the Refresh Interval drop-down list to select a new duration between
window refreshes. You can select 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 2 minutes, or 5
minutes. You can also type a custom value into this box.

Basic Firebox and Network Status
The Front Panel tab of Firebox® System Manager shows basic information about your Firebox, your
network, and network traffic.
Using the Security Traffic display
Firebox System Manager initially has a group of indicator lights to show the direction and volume of
the traffic between the Firebox interfaces. The display can be a triangle (below left) or a star (below
center and right).
Triangle display
If a Firebox has only three configured interfaces, each corner of the triangle is one interface. If a Firebox
has more than three interfaces, each corner of the triangle represents one type of interface. For example, if you have six configured interfaces with one external, one trusted, and four optional interfaces,
the “All-Optional” corner in the triangle represents all four of the optional interfaces.
Star display
The star display shows all traffic in and out of the center interface. An arrow that moves from the center
interface to a node interface shows that the Firebox is passing traffic. The traffic comes in through the
center interface and goes out through the node interface. For example, if eth1 is at the center and eth2
is at a node, a green arrow shows that traffic flows from eth1 to eth2. There are two star displays — one
for a Firebox X Core with 6 interfaces and one for Firebox X Peak with 10 interfaces.
User Guide
33
Basic Firebox and Network Status
To change the display, right-click it and select Triangle Mode or Star Mode.
Monitoring status information
The points of the star and triangle show the traffic that flows through the interfaces. A green point
shows traffic is being allowed at that interface. A red point shows that traffic is being denied, or that
the interface is denying some traffic and allowing other traffic. Each point shows incoming connections
and outgoing connections with different arrows. When traffic flows between the two interfaces, the
arrows light up in the direction of the traffic.
In the star figure, the location where the points come together can show one of two conditions:
•
Red (deny)—The Firebox denies a connection on that interface.
•
Green (allow)—There is traffic between this interface and a different interface (but not the
center) of the star. When there is traffic between this interface and the center, the point between
these interfaces shows as green arrows that blink.
In the triangle, the network traffic shows in the points of the triangle. The points show only the idle or
deny condition. One exception is when there is a large quantity of VPN ”tunnel switching” traffic. Tunnel switching traffic refers to packets that are sent through a VPN to a Firebox configured as the default
gateway for the VPN network. In this case, the Firebox System Manager traffic level indicator can show
very high traffic, but you do not see green lights as more tunnel switching traffic comes in and goes out
of the same interface.
Setting the center interface
If you use the star figure, you can customize the interface that appears in its center. Click the interface
name or its point. The interface then moves to the center of the star. All the other interfaces move
clockwise. If you move an interface to the center of the star, you can see all traffic between that interface and all other interfaces. The default display shows the external interface in the center.
Monitoring traffic, load, and status
Below the Security Traffic Display are the traffic volume indicator, processor load indicator, and basic
status information (Detail).
The two bar graphs show the traffic volume and the Firebox capacity.

current tunnel status and gateway information for each VPN tunnel as well as data sent and received,
creation and expiration information, type of authentication and encryption, and number of rekeys.
Each BOVPN tunnel is shown in one of three states:
Active
The BOVPN tunnel is operational and passing traffic.
Inactive
The BOVPN tunnel has been created, but no tunnel negotiation has occurred. No traffic has been
sent through the VPN tunnel.
Expired
The BOVPN tunnel was active, but is no longer active because the tunnel has no traffic or
because the link between the gateways is lost.

HostWatch
HostWatch™ is a graphical user interface that shows the network connections between the trusted and
external networks. HostWatch also gives information about users, connections, and network address
translation (NAT).
The line that connects the source host and the destination host uses a color that shows the type of connection. You can change these colors. The default colors are:
•
Red — The Firebox® denies the connection.
•
Blue — The connection uses a proxy.
•
Green — The Firebox uses NAT for the connection.
Black — Normal connection (the connection has been accepted, and it does not use a proxy or
NAT).
Icons that show the type of service appear adjacent to the server entries for HTTP, Telnet, SMTP, and
FTP.
•
Domain name server (DNS) resolution does not occur immediately when you start HostWatch. When
HostWatch is configured for DNS resolution, it replaces the IP addresses with the host or user names. If
the Firebox cannot identify the host or user name, the IP address stays in the HostWatch window.
If you use DNS resolution with HostWatch, the management station can send a large number of NetBIOS packets (UDP 137) through the Firebox. The only method to stop this is to turn off NetBIOS over
TCP/IP in Windows.
To start HostWatch, click the HostWatch icon in Firebox® System Manager.
Or select Tools > HostWatch.
The HostWatch window
The top part of the HostWatch window has two sides. You can set the interface for the left side. The
right side shows all other interfaces. HostWatch shows the connections to and from the interface configured on the left side.

Add configuration information that applies to the specified counter. Certain fields appear
automatically according to which counter you select. Some of the fields are:
- Type — Use the drop-down list to select the type of graph to create: rate, difference, or raw
value.
Suppose you want to graph value_1 and time_1, value_2 at time_2, and so on. If you create a
graph by rate, you use the value difference divided by the time difference: (value_2-value_1)/
(time_2-time_1), (value_3-value_2)/(time_3-time_2), and so on.
If you specify difference, you use the increase from the previous value to the new value:
value_2-value_1, value_3-value_2, and so on.
If you specify raw value, you use the value only: value_1, value_2, and so on. The raw values
are generally counters of content such as bytes or packets. They can only increase, not
decrease.
- Interface — Use the drop-down list to select the interface to graph data for.
- Policy — (If you select a Policy counter) Use the drop-down list to select a policy from your
Firebox configuration to graph data for. You can update the policy list that appears in the
Performance Console when you click the Refresh Policy List button.
- Peer IP — (If you select a VPN Peers counter) Use the drop-down list to select the IP address of
a VPN endpoint to graph data for. You can update the list of VPN endpoints that appears in
the Performance Console when you click the Refresh Peer IP List button.
- Tunnel ID — (If you select a Tunnels counter) Use the drop-down list to select the name of a
VPN tunnel to graph data for. You can update the list of VPN tunnels that appears in the
Performance Console when you click the Refresh Tunnel ID List button. If you do not know
the tunnel ID for your VPN tunnel, check the Firebox System Manager Front Panel tab.

Rekeying BOVPN tunnels
Normally, the gateway endpoints of BOVPN tunnels must generate and exchange new keys after a
quantity of time or amount of traffic passes. You might sometimes, particularly when you troubleshoot
tunnels, want to immediately generate new keys instead of waiting for them to expire. The rekey
options in Firebox System Manager expire BOVPN tunnels immediately. Tunnels are triggered by traffic; they are rebuilt when traffic starts to flow through them. If you rekey a tunnel and it has no traffic, it
is not automatically rebuilt.
To rekey one BOVPN tunnel
On the front panel of Firebox System Manager, below the Branch Office VPN Tunnels heading, select
the tunnel you want to rekey. Right-click and select Rekey Selected BOVPN Tunnel. When prompted,
type the configuration passphrase for the Firebox to which Firebox System Manager is connected.

SNMP uses management information bases (MIBs) that give configuration information for the devices
the SNMP server manages or monitors. With Fireware® appliance software, the Firebox® supports
SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
You can configure the Firebox to accept SNMP polls from an SNMP server. You can also configure the
Firebox to send traps to an SNMP server.

Working with SNMP
Enabling SNMP polling
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > SNMP.
2
Type the Community String the Firebox must use when it connects to the SNMP server. Click
OK.
The community string allows access to the statistics of a device. It operates like a wireless SSID or
group ID. This community string must be included with all SNMP requests. If the community
string is correct, the device gives the requested information. If the community string is not
correct, the device discards the request and does not respond.
3
Click OK. Save the configuration to the Firebox.
The Firebox can now receive SNMP polls.
Enabling SNMP traps
An SNMP trap is an event notification the Firebox sends to the SNMP management system. The trap
identifies when a specified condition occurs, such as a value that is more than its predefined threshold.
To enable the Firebox to send SNMP traps:
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > SNMP.
2
In the SNMP Settings dialog box, select the Enable SNMP Trap check box.
3
In the box below the SNMP Management Stations list, type the IP address of the SNMP server.
Click Add.
4
Type the Community String the Firebox must use when it connects to the SNMP server. Click
OK.
The community string is like a user ID or password that allows access to the statistics of a device.
This community string must be included with all SNMP requests. If the community string is
correct, the device gives the requested information. If the community string is not correct, the
device discards the request and does not respond.
5
Add an SNMP policy to the Firebox. To do this, from Policy Manager, select Edit > Add Policy (or
click the “+” icon), expand Packet Filters, select SNMP, and click Add.
The New Policy Properties dialog box appears.
6
Below the From box, click Add. From the Add Address dialog box that appears, click Add Other.
The Add Member dialog box appears.

Changing the Firebox Passphrases
7
From the Choose Type drop-down list, select Host IP. In the Value field, type the IP address of
your SNMP server computer.
8
Click OK twice to return to the Policy tab of the new policy.
9
Below the To box, click Add.
10 From the Add Address dialog box that appears, under Available Members, select Firebox.
Click Add.
11 Click OK, OK, and Close. Save the configuration to the Firebox.
You can make the Firebox send a trap for any policy in Policy Manager. To do this, double-click the policy icon shown in Policy Manager to edit the configuration. From the Edit Policy Properties dialog
box, select the Properties tab. Click Logging and select the Send SNMP Trap check box.
Using MIBs
WatchGuard® System Manager with Fireware® appliance software supports two types of Management
Information Bases (MIBs):
•
Public MIBs are used in the Fireware product and are copied on to your WatchGuard
management station when you install Fireware. These MIBs include IETF standards and MIB2.
•
Private MIBs are MIBs created by WatchGuard to provide basic monitoring information for
specific components in the Firebox, including CPU and memory utilization, and interface and
IPSec metrics.
When you install WatchGuard System Manager, MIBs are installed to
My Documents\My WatchGuard\Shared WatchGuard\SNMP.
Changing the Firebox Passphrases
A Firebox® uses two passphrases:
•
Status passphrase
The read-only password or passphrase that allows access to the Firebox
•
Configuration passphrase
The read-write password or passphrase that allows an administrator full access to the Firebox
To create a secure passphrase, we recommend that you:
•
Use a selection of uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and special characters (for
example, Im4e@tiN9).
•
Do not use a word from standard dictionaries, even if you use it in a different sequence or in a
different language.
•
Do not use a name. It is easy for an attacker to find a business name, familiar name, or the name
of a famous person.
An additional security measure is to change the Firebox passphrases at regular intervals. To do this,
you must have the configuration passphrase.
1
From Policy Manager, open the configuration file on the Firebox.
2
Click File > Change Passphrases.
The Change Passphrases dialog box appears.

Recovering a Firebox
3
From the Firebox Address or Name drop-down list, select a Firebox or type the IP address or
name of the Firebox. Type the Firebox configuration (read/write) passphrase.
4
Type and confirm the new status (read-only) and configuration (read/write) passphrases. The
status passphrase must be different from the configuration passphrase.
5
Click OK.
Recovering a Firebox
If you want to reset a Firebox® to its factory-default settings or reset a Firebox with a completely new
configuration, you can use a Firebox recovery procedure. The procedure to recover a Firebox X Core or
Peak e-Series device is different from the procedure to recover an earlier model of a Firebox X Core or
Peak. Make sure you use the correct procedure for your Firebox.
Resetting a Firebox X e-Series device
To put a new configuration on a Firebox X Core or Peak e-Series device, use the Web Quick Setup Wizard. See the “Getting Started” chapter for more information on the Web Quick Setup Wizard.
Resetting a Firebox X Core or Peak (non e-Series)
With an earlier model Firebox X Core or Peak, you can use the Quick Setup Wizard to reset the Firebox
with a completely new configuration. This is the easiest way to reset a Firebox and the most common
procedure used.
There are times, however, when you cannot use the Quick Setup Wizard to reset a Firebox. When you
use the Quick Setup Wizard, you must be able to make a network connection to the Firebox from your
management station and “discover” the Firebox on the network. If this is not possible, you can use the
manual reset procedure described in this manual.

Basic Configuration Setup
After your Firebox® is installed on your network and operates with a basic configuration file, you can
start to add custom configuration settings to align with your organization’s requirements. This chapter
shows you how to do some basic configuration and maintenance tasks. Some of these tasks you complete many times as you work with your Firebox. Other tasks you do only one time.
These basic configuration tasks include how to:
•
Open a configuration file on a local computer or from the Firebox
•
Save a configuration file to a local computer or the Firebox
•
Create and restore a Firebox backup image
•
Use aliases
•
Configure Firebox global settings
•
Set basic schedules to use in your policies later
•
Manage your Firebox from a remote location
Opening a Configuration File
Policy Manager for Fireware® or Fireware Pro is a WatchGuard® software tool that lets you make,
change, and save configuration files. A configuration file, with the extension .xml, includes all configuration data, options, IP addresses, and other information that makes up your Firebox® security policy.
When you use Policy Manager, you see a version of your configuration file that is easy to examine and
change.
When you work with Policy Manager, you can:
•
Open the current configuration file on your Firebox
•
Open a configuration file saved on your local hard drive
•
Make a new configuration file

If you cannot open Policy Manager, try these steps:
•
If the Connect to Firebox dialog box immediately comes back after you enter the passphrase,
make sure that Caps Lock is off and that you type the passphrase correctly. Remember that the
passphrase is case-sensitive.
•
If the Connect to Firebox dialog box times out, make sure that you have a link on the trusted
interface and on your computer. Make sure that you typed the correct IP address for the trusted
interface of the Firebox. Also make sure that your computer IP address is in the same network as
the trusted interface of the Firebox.
Opening a local configuration file
You can open configuration files that are on any network drive to which your management station can
connect.
If you want to use an existing configuration file for a Firebox in a factory-default state, we recommend
that you first run the Quick Setup Wizard to create a basic configuration and then open the existing
configuration file. However, if you do open a configuration file on an appliance in a factory-default
state, make sure you change the status and configuration passphrases.

Type a name for the Firebox. This name will be used as the name of the configuration file.
5
Click OK.
Policy Manager makes a new configuration with the file name <name>.xml, where <name> is the
name you gave the Firebox.
Saving a Configuration File
After you make a new configuration file or change the current configuration file, you can save it directly
to the Firebox®. You can also save it to a local hard disk.
Some network administrators find it helps to save more than one version of a Firebox configuration file.
For example, if you have a new security policy to use, we recommend that you save the old configuration file to a local hard drive first. Then if you do not want the new configuration, you can restore the
old version.

About Firebox Backup Images
A Firebox backup image is an encrypted and saved copy of the flash disk image from the Firebox flash
disk. It includes the Firebox appliance software, configuration file, licenses, and certificates. You can
save a backup image to your management station or to a directory on your network. We recommend
that you regularly make backup files of the Firebox image. We also recommend that you create a
backup image of the Firebox before you make significant changes to your Firebox configuration or
upgrade your Firebox or its appliance software.

shown in “Recovering a Firebox” on page 68.
Working with Aliases
An alias is a shortcut that identifies a group of hosts, networks, or interfaces. When you use an alias, it is
easy to create a security policy because the Firebox® allows you to use aliases when you create policies.
The default aliases in Policy Manager that you can use are:
76
•
Aliases that correspond to Firebox interfaces, such as Trusted or External.
•
Any-Trusted: An alias for all Firebox interfaces configured as “trusted” interfaces (as defined in
Policy Manager: select Network > Configuration), and any network you can get access to
through these interfaces.
•
Any-External: An alias for all Firebox interfaces of type “external” (as defined in Policy Manager:
select Network > Configuration), and any network you can get access to through these
interfaces.
•
Any-Optional: Aliases for all Firebox interfaces of type “optional” (as defined in Policy Manager:
select Network > Configuration), and any network you can get access to through these
interfaces.
•
Any-BOVPN: An alias for any BOVPN (IPSec) tunnel.
WatchGuard System Manager
Working with Aliases
When you use the BOVPN Policy wizard to create a policy to allow traffic through a BOVPN
tunnel, the wizard automatically creates “.in” and .out” aliases for the incoming and outgoing
tunnels.
•
Alias names are different from user or group names used in user authentication. With user authentication, you can monitor a connection with a name and not as an IP address. The person authenticates
with a user name and a password to get access to Internet protocols. For more information about user
authentication, see “How User Authentication Works” on page 153.
Alias members
You can add the following to an alias:
•
Host IP
•
Network IP
•
A range of host IP addresses
•
DNS name for a host
•
Tunnel address: defined by a user or group, address, and name of the tunnel
•
Custom address: defined by a user or group, address, and Firebox interface
•
Another alias
•
An authorized user or group

Configure the different categories of global settings as shown in the sections below.
Defining ICMP error handling global settings
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) controls errors during connections. It is used for two types of
operations:
•
To tell client hosts about error conditions.
•
To probe a network to find general characteristics about the network.
The Firebox sends an ICMP error message each time an event occurs that matches one of the parameters you selected. These messages are good troubleshooting tools, but can also decrease security by
exposing information about your network. If you deny these ICMP messages, you can increase security
by preventing network probes, but this can also cause timeout delays for incomplete connections,
User Guide
79
Using Global Settings
which can cause application problems. The global ICMP error handling parameters and their descriptions are:
Fragmentation Req (PMTU)
Select this check box to allow ICMP Fragmentation Req messages. The Firebox uses these
messages to find the MTU path.
Time Exceeded
Select this check box to allow ICMP Time Exceeded messages. A router usually sends these
messages when a route loop occurs.
Network Unreachable
Select this check box to allow ICMP Network Unreachable messages. A router usually sends
these messages when a network link is broken.
Host Unreachable
Select this check box to allow ICMP Host Unreachable messages. Your network usually sends
these messages when it cannot use a host or service.
Port Unreachable
Select this check box to allow ICMP Port Unreachable messages. A host or firewall usually sends
these messages when a network service is not available or is not allowed.
Protocol Unreachable
Select this check box to allow ICMP Protocol Unreachable messages.
Enabling TCP SYN checking
TCP SYN checking makes sure that the TCP three-way handshake is done before the Firebox allows a
data connection.
Defining TCP maximum segment size adjustment global settings
The TCP segment can be set to a specified size for a connection that must have more TCP/IP layer 3
overhead (such as PPPoE, ESP, AH, and so on). If this size is not correctly configured, users cannot get
access to some web sites. The global TCP maximum segment size adjustment settings are:
Auto Adjustment
The Firebox examines all maximum segment size (MSS) negotiations and changes the MSS value
to the applicable one.
No Adjustment
The Firebox does not change the MSS value.

Using Global VPN Settings
You can select settings that apply to manual BOVPN tunnels, managed BOVPN tunnels, and MUVPN
tunnels:
1
From Policy Manager, select VPN > VPN Settings.
The VPN Settings dialog box appears.
2
Consider the settings explained below for your VPN tunnels.
Enable IPSec Pass-through
For a user to make IPSec connections to a Firebox® behind a different Firebox, you must keep the
Enable IPSec Pass-through check box selected to enable the IPSec pass-through feature. For example, if mobile employees are at a customer location that has a Firebox, they can use IPSec to make IPSec
connections to their network. For the local Firebox to correctly allow the outgoing IPSec connection,
you must also add an IPSec policy to Policy Manager.
When you specify or define a Phase 2 transform and plan to use the IPSec pass-through feature, you
must specify ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) as the proposal method. IPSec pass-through supports ESP but not AH (Authentication Header). For information on how to define a Phase 2 transform,
see “Adding a Phase 2 proposal” on page 341.
When you enable IPSec pass-through, a policy called WatchGuard IPSec is automatically added to Policy Manager. The policy allows traffic from Any-Trusted and Any-Optional, and the destination is set to
Any. When you disable IPSec pass-through, the WatchGuard® IPSec policy is automatically deleted.
Enable TOS for IPSec
The Type of Service (TOS) bits are a set of four-bit flags in the IP header that can tell routing devices to
give an IP datagram more or less priority than other datagrams. Fireware® gives you the option to allow
IPSec tunnels to clear or maintain the settings on TOS-flagged packets. Some ISPs drop all packets that
have TOS flags set.
If you do not select the Enable TOS for IPSec check box, all IPSec packets have no TOS bits set. If the
TOS bits were set before, when Fireware encapsulates the packet in an IPSec header, the TOS bits are
cleared.
When the Enable TOS for IPSec check box is selected, if the original packet has TOS bits set, then Fireware keeps the TOS bits set when it encapsulates the packet in an IPSec header. If the original packet
does not have the TOS bits set, Fireware does not set the TOS bits when it encapsulates the packet in
an IPSec header.
User Guide
81
Creating Schedules
Consider the setting of this check box if you want to apply QoS marking to IPsec traffic. QoS marking
can involve the setting of the TOS bit. For more information on QoS marking, see “About QoS Marking”
on page 456.
Enable LDAP server for certificate verification
When you create a VPN gateway, you specify a credential method for the two VPN endpoints to use
when the tunnel is created. If you choose to use an IPSec Firebox certificate, you can identify an LDAP
server to use to validate the certificate. Type the IP address for the LDAP server. You can also specify a
port if you want to use a port other than 389.
Creating Schedules
You can use schedules to automate some Firebox® actions such as WebBlocker tasks. You can create a
schedule for all days of the week, or create a different schedule for each day of the week. You can then
use these schedules in policies that you create. For information on how to use schedules in policies, see

Managing a Firebox from a Remote Location
When you configure a Firebox® with the Quick Setup Wizard, a policy is created automatically that
allows you to connect to and administer the Firebox from any computer on the trusted or optional networks. If you want to manage the Firebox from a remote location (any location external to the Firebox),
then you must change your configuration to allow administrative connections from your remote location.
The policy that controls administrative connections to the Firebox itself is called the WatchGuard® policy in Policy Manager. This policy controls access to the Firebox on these four TCP ports: 4103, 4105,
4117, 4118. When you allow connections in the WatchGuard policy, you allow connections to each of
these four ports.
Before you change a policy to allow connections to the Firebox from a computer external to your network, it is a good idea to consider the use of user authentication to restrict connections to the Firebox.
It is also a good idea to restrict access from the external network to the smallest number of computers

Logging and Notification
An event is one activity that occurs at the Firebox®. For example, denying a packet from going through
the Firebox is an event. Logging is the recording of these events to a log host. A notification is a message sent to the administrator by the Firebox when an event occurs that is a possible security threat.
Notification can be an email message or a pop-up window, or sent by way of an SNMP trap.
For example, WatchGuard® recommends that you configure default packet handling to send a notification when the Firebox finds a port space probe. When this occurs, the log host sends notification to the
network security administrator about the rejected packets. The network security administrator can
examine the log files and make decisions about how to add more security to the organization’s network. Some possible changes are:
•
Block the ports on which the probe was used
•
Block the IP address that is sending the packets
•
Tell the ISP through which the packets are being sent
Logging and notification are important to a good network security policy. Together, they make it possible to monitor your network security, identify attacks and attackers, and address security threats and
challenges.
Setting Up the Log Server
The Log Server collects logs from each WatchGuard® Firebox® managed by WatchGuard System Manager.
You can install the Log Server on the computer you are using as a management station. Or, you can
install the Log Server software on a different computer using the WatchGuard System Manager installation program and selecting to install only the Log Server component. You can also add additional Log
Servers for backup.
If you install the Management Server, Log Server, Quarantine Server, or WebBlocker Server on a computer
with a firewall other than Windows Firewall, you must open the ports necessary for the servers to connect

WatchGuard System Manager
Logging and Notification in Proxy Definitions
Send notification
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends a notification when a packet is denied because of
your blocked port configuration. You can configure the Firebox to do one of these actions:
•
Email: The Log Server sends an email message when the event occurs. Set the email address in
the Notification tab of the Log Server user interface.
Notification email messages have the format [friendly_name]@[domain_name]
Where:
- friendly_name = the Firebox friendly name. (For information on how to set or change this, see
“Setting a Friendly Name and Time Zone” on page 65.)
- domain_name = the name in the Mail Host field on this dialog box.
•
Pop-up Window: The Firebox makes a dialog box appear on the management station when the
event occurs.
Setting Launch Interval and Repeat Count
You can control the time of the notification, together with the Repeat Count, as follows:
Launch Interval
The minimum time (in minutes) between different notifications. This parameter prevents more
than one notification in a short time for the same event.
Repeat Count
This counts how frequently an event occurs. When this gets to the selected value, a special
repeat notifier starts. This notifier makes a repeat log entry about that specified notification.
Notification starts again after this number of events.
Here is an example of how to use these two values. The values are configured as:
•
Launch interval = 5 minutes
•
Repeat count = 4
A port space probe starts at 10:00 a.m. and continues each minute. This starts the logging and notification mechanisms. These are the times and the actions that occur:
1
10:00—Initial port space probe (first event)
2
10:01—First notification starts (one event)
3
10:06—Second notification starts (reports five events)
4
10:11—Third notification starts (reports five events)
5
10:16—Fourth notification starts (reports five events)
The launch interval controls the time intervals between the events 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This was set to
5 minutes. Multiply the repeat count by the launch interval. This is the time interval an event
must continue to start the repeat notifier.
Logging and Notification in Proxy Definitions
An alarm, log message, or notification is a mechanism to tell a network administrator about network
traffic that does not match the criteria for allowed traffic. For example, if traffic is greater than a threshold value, you can configure the Firebox® to send an email message. You can set alarm, log message,
and notification properties for each packet filter and proxy policy.

About Log Messages
WatchGuard® System Manager includes strong and flexible log message tools. An important feature of
a good network security policy is to gather messages from your security systems, to examine those
records frequently, and to keep them in an archive. You can use logs to monitor your network security
and activity, identify any security risks, and address them.
The WatchGuard® Firebox® X Core and Firebox X Peak send log messages to the Log Server. They also
can send log messages to a syslog server or keep logs locally on the Firebox. You can choose to send
logs to either or both of these locations.
You can use Firebox System Manager to log messages in the Traffic Monitor tab. For more information, see the “Firebox Status Monitoring” chapter. You also can examine log messages with LogViewer.
The log messages are kept in an XML file with a .wgl.xml extension in the WatchGuard directory on the
Log Server. To learn more about the format of log messages, see the “Log Messages” chapter in the Reference Guide.
Types of log messages
The Firebox sends four types of log messages. The type appears in the text of the message. The four
types of log messages are:
•
Traffic
•
Alarm
•
Event
•
Diagnostic
Traffic log messages
The Firebox sends traffic log messages as it applies packet filter and proxy rules to traffic that goes
through the Firebox.
Alarm log messages
98
WatchGuard System Manager
About Log Messages
Alarm log messages are sent when an event occurs that triggers the Firebox to do a command. When
the alarm condition is matched, the Firebox sends an Alarm log message to the Traffic Monitor and Log
Server and then it does the specified action.
You can set some alarm log messages. For example, you can use Policy Manager to configure an alarm
to occur when a specified value matches or is more than a threshold. Other alarm log messages are set
by the appliance software, and you cannot change the value. For example, the Firebox sends an alarm
log message when a network connection on one of the Firebox interfaces fails or when a Denial of Service attack occurs. For more information about alarm log messages, see the Reference Guide.
There are eight categories of alarm log messages: System, IPS, AV, Policy, Proxy, Counter, Denial of Service, and Traffic. The Firebox does not send more than 10 alarms in 15 minutes for the same conditions.
Event log messages
The Firebox sends event log messages because of user activity. Actions that can cause the Firebox to
send an event log message include:
•
Firebox start up and shut down
•
Firebox and VPN authentication
•
Process start up and shut down
•
Problems with the Firebox hardware components
•
Any task done by the Firebox administrator
Diagnostic log messages
Diagnostic log messages include information that you can use to help troubleshoot problems. There
are 27 different product components that can send diagnostic log messages. You can select whether
the diagnostic log messages appear in Traffic Monitor, as described in “Enabling advanced diagnostics”
on page 91.
Log file names and locations
The Firebox sends log messages to a primary or backup Log Server. The default location for the log file
is My Documents > My WatchGuard > Shared WatchGuard > logs.
The name of the log file shows:
•
If the Firebox has a name, the format of the log file name is FireboxName-date.wgl.xml.
•
If the Firebox does not have a name, the name of the log files is FireboxIP-date.wgl.xml.
Consolidating log files
You can put together two or more log files into one file. You can then use this file in Historical Reports,
LogViewer, or some other tool to examine log data for an extended time interval. To merge more than
one log file into one file:
•
The log files must be from the same Firebox.
•
The log messages in the files must be in date and time order.
•
The log files must have been created with the same appliance software. You cannot merge a log
file created with WFS appliance software with a log file created with Fireware® appliance
software, even if they are from the same Firebox.

Updating .wgl log files to .xml format
When you migrate from an earlier version of WatchGuard® System Manager that you use with WFS
appliance software to a version of WatchGuard System Manager that you use with Fireware® appliance
software, you can convert log files from .wgl to .xml format. This is also helpful if you manage a mixed
network with different versions of WSM. After converting, you can use LogViewer or report tools on log
files created with WatchGuard Management System 7.3 or earlier.
To help you understand the new log structure, or to integrate .xml-format logs into a third-party application, see the Logging section of the product FAQs available at:
www.watchguard.com/support/faqs/fireware/
One FAQ gives an XML schema and Document Type Definition (DTD) for the WSM WatchGuard log file.
These base schema and DTD files are meant as general reference information only.
When you convert a log file from .wgl to .xml:
•
The XML file is usually smaller than the .wgl file.
•
If you open the new XML file in an XML editor, you can see some duplicate entries. This is a
function of the way Historical Reports made reports in WSM 7.3 and earlier. It does not cause
problems in LogViewer or in Historical Reports for WSM used with Fireware.

Configuring a DHCP relay
One method to get IP addresses for the computers on the Firebox trusted network or on an optional
network is to use a DHCP server on a different network. The Firebox can send a DHCP request to a
DHCP server at a different location than the DHCP client. When the Firebox gets the reply, it sends it to
the computers on the Firebox trusted or optional network.

Configuring the external interface
The external interface can have a static or dynamic IP address. The Firebox can get a dynamic IP
address for the external interface with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or PPPoE (Pointto-Point Protocol over Ethernet). With DHCP, the Firebox uses a DHCP server that is controlled by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get an IP address, gateway, and netmask. With PPPoE, the Firebox

Using PPPoE
Some ISPs assign their IP addresses through Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE
expands a standard dial-up connection to add some of the features of Ethernet and PPP. This system
allows the ISP to use the billing, authentication, and security systems of their dial-up infrastructure with
DSL modem and cable modem products.
If your ISP uses PPPoE, you must enter the PPPoE information into your Firebox before it can send traffic through the external interface.
1
From the Interface Settings dialog box, select PPPoE.

Select one of the two options:
- Get an IP address automatically
- Use IP address (supplied by your Internet Service Provider)
3
If you selected Use IP Address, enter the IP address in the text box to the right.

Use the radio buttons to select when the Firebox connects with the PPPoE server.
- Always On — The Firebox keeps a constant PPPoE connection. It is not necessary that
network traffic go through the external interface.
- Dial-on-Demand — The Firebox connects to the PPPoE server only when it gets a request to
send traffic to an IP address on the external interface. If your ISP regularly resets the
connection, select Dial-on-Demand. If you do not select Dial-on-Demand, you must manually
restart the Firebox each time the connection resets.
If you selected Always On, in the PPPoE Initialization Retry Interval field, use the arrows to set
the number of seconds that PPPoE tries to initialize before it times out.
If you selected Dial-on-Demand, in the Idle Timeout in field, set the length of time the user can

select the value in the field adjacent to the check box.
Adding Secondary Networks
A secondary network is a network that shares one of the same physical networks as one of the Firebox®
interfaces. When you add a secondary network, you make (or add) an IP alias to the interface. This IP
alias is the default gateway for all the computers on the secondary network. The secondary network
tells the Firebox that there is one more network on the Firebox interface.
If your Firebox is configured with a static IP address, you can add an IP address on the same subnet as
your primary external interface as a secondary network. You can then configure static NAT for more
than one of the same type of server. For example, configure an external secondary network with a second public IP address if you have two public SMTP servers and you want to configure a static NAT rule
for each.
To use Policy Manager to configure a secondary network:
1
Select Network > Configuration.
The Network Configuration dialog box appears.

When you type IP addresses, type all the numbers and the stops. Do not use the TAB or arrow key.
5
Click OK. Click OK again.
Be careful to add secondary network addresses correctly. Policy Manager does not tell you if the address is
correct. We recommend that you do not create a subnet as a secondary network on one interface that is a
component of a larger network on a different interface. If you do this, spoofing can occur and the network
cannot operate correctly.
Adding WINS and DNS Server Addresses
A number of the features of the Firebox® have shared Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) and
Domain Name System (DNS) server IP addresses. These features include DHCP and Remote User VPN
(RUVPN). Access to these servers must be available from the trusted interface of the Firebox.
This information is used for two purposes:
114
•
The Firebox uses the DNS server shown here to resolve names to IP addresses for IPSec VPNs and
for the spamBlocker, Gateway AV, and IPS features to operate correctly.
•
The WINS and DNS entries are used by DHCP clients on the trusted or optional networks, MUVPN
users, and PPTP RUVPN users to resolve DNS queries.
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring Dynamic DNS
Make sure that you use only an internal WINS and DNS server for DHCP and RUVPN. This helps to make
sure that you do not create policies that have configuration properties that prevent users from connecting to the DNS server.
1
From Policy Manager, select Network > Configuration. Click the WINS/DNS tab.
The information on the WINS/DNS tab appears.

client to use with unqualified names such as “watchguard_mail”.
Configuring Dynamic DNS
You can register the external IP address of the Firebox® with a dynamic Domain Name Server (DNS) service. A dynamic DNS service makes sure that the IP address attached to your domain name changes
when your ISP gives your Firebox a new IP address. The Firebox supports one dynamic DNS provider:
DynDNS. For more information on dynamic DNS, log on to the DynDNS web site:

Configuring Routes
A route is the sequence of devices through which network traffic must go to get from its source to its
destination. A router is the device in a route that finds the subsequent network point through which to
send the network traffic to its destination. Each router is connected to a minimum of two networks. A
packet can go through a number of network points with routers before it gets to its destination.
The Firebox® lets you create static routes to send traffic to specific hosts or networks. The router can
then send the traffic to the correct destination from the specified route. If you do not add a route to a
remote network, all traffic to that network is sent to the Firebox default gateway.

Setting DF bit for IPSec (external interfaces only)
When you configure the external interface, select one of the following radio buttons to determine the
setting of the Don’t Fragment (DF) bit for IPSec:
Clear
Select to tell the Firebox to break the frame into pieces that can fit in an IPSec packet with the
ESP or AH header, regardless of the original bit setting.
Set
Select to prevent the Firebox from fragmenting the frame regardless of the original bit setting.
If a user must make IPSec connections to a Firebox from behind a different Firebox, you must
clear this check box to enable the IPSec pass-through feature. For example, if mobile employees
are at a customer location that has a Firebox, they can make IPSec connections to their network
using IPSec. For the local Firebox to correctly allow the outgoing IPSec connection, you must
also add an IPSec policy to Policy Manager.
Copy
The Type of Service (TOS) bits are a set of four-bit flags in the IP header that can tell routing
devices to give an IP datagram more or less priority than other datagrams. Fireware® gives you
the option to allow IPSec tunnels to pass TOS flagged packets. Some ISPs drop all packets that
have TOS flags set.
When the Copy check box is selected, if the original packet has TOS bits set, then Fireware keeps
the TOS bits set when it encapsulates the packet in an IPSec header. If the original packet does
not have the TOS bits set, Fireware does not set the TOS bits when it encapsulates the packet in
an IPSec header.
If you do not select the Copy check box, all IPSec packets have no TOS bits set. If the TOS bits
were set before, when Fireware encapsulates the packet in an IPSec header, the TOS bits are
cleared.
Setting the PMTU for IPSec (external interfaces only)
The PMTU (Path Maximum Transmission Unit) setting for an external interface controls the
length of time that the Firebox lowers the MTU for an IPSec VPN tunnel when it gets an ICMP
Request to Fragment packet from a router with a lower MTU setting on the Internet. We
recommend that you keep the default settings. This can protect you from a router on the
Internet with a very low MTU setting.
Using a Firebox with a Drop-in Configuration
In a drop-in configuration, the Firebox is configured with the same IP address on all interfaces. The
drop-in configuration mode distributes the network’s logical address range across the Firebox interfaces. You can put the Firebox between the router and the LAN and not have to change the configuration of any local computers. This configuration is known as drop-in because the Firebox is “dropped in”
to a network.
In drop-in mode:
•
User Guide
You must assign the same primary IP address to all interfaces on your Firebox (external, trusted,
and optional).
119
Using a Firebox with a Drop-in Configuration
•
You can assign secondary networks on any interface.
•
You can keep the same IP addresses and default gateways for hosts on your trusted and optional
networks, and add a secondary network address to the Firebox® interface so the Firebox can
correctly send traffic to the hosts on these networks.
The public servers behind the Firebox can continue to use public IP addresses. The Firebox does not
use network address translation to route traffic from outside your network to your public servers.
The properties of a drop-in configuration are:
•
You must have a static external IP address to assign to the Firebox.
•
You use one logical network for all interfaces.
•
You cannot configure more than one external interface when your Firebox is configured in dropin mode. Multi-WAN functionality is automatically disabled.
It is sometimes necessary to flush the ARP cache of each computer on the trusted network, but this is
not common.
If you move an IP address from a computer located behind one Firebox interface to a computer located
behind a different Firebox interface, it can take several minutes for traffic between that IP address and the
Firebox itself to start to flow. The Firebox must update its internal routing table before traffic can pass. This
affects only Firebox traffic such as logging, SNMP, and Firebox management connections.
Configuring related hosts
In a drop-in configuration, the Firebox is configured with the same IP address on each interface. The
drop-in configuration mode distributes the network’s address range across the Firebox interfaces.
Related hosts are sometimes required when you have configured your Firebox in drop-in mode and
automatic host mapping is not functioning correctly. This sometimes happens because of interference
with the Firebox trying to discover devices on an interface. When this occurs, turn off automatic host
mapping and add related host entries for computers that share a network address with the Firebox.
This creates a static routing relationship between the related host IP address and the interface designated for that IP address. When there are problems with dynamic/automatic host mapping, you must
use related host entries.

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
An 802.1Q VLAN (virtual local area network) is a collection of computers on a LAN or LANs that are
grouped together in a single broadcast domain independent of their physical location. This allows the
grouping of devices according to traffic patterns instead of physical proximity. Members of a VLAN can
share resources as if they were connected to the same LAN. You can also use VLANs to split a switch
into multiple segments. For example, suppose your company has full-time employees and contract
workers on the same LAN. You want to restrict the contract employees to a subset of the resources
used by the full-time employees. You also want to use a more restrictive security policy for the contract
workers. In this case, you split the interface into two VLANs.
Because VLANs use bridges and switches, broadcasts are more efficient because they go only to people
in the VLAN, not everyone on the wire. Consequently, traffic across your routers is reduced, which
means a coincidental reduction in router latency.
VLANs allow you to segment your network with a logical, hierarchical structure or grouping instead of
a physical one. Logical grouping helps free IT staff from the restrictions of their existing network design
and cabling infrastructure. VLANs make designing, implementing, and managing your network easier.
Because VLANs are software based, you can quickly and easily adapt your network to additions, relocations, and reorganizations.
User Guide
121
Defining a New VLAN
VLANs improve network performance by enabling you to more effectively segment your network.
Effective segmentation means that traffic through your network’s routers is reduced. When you create
VLANs, you can use bridges and switches instead of routers and hubs. Bridges and switches pass traffic
more quickly than routers; you need to send traffic across a router only when you send data from one
VLAN to another VLAN.
VLANs have the following limitations:
•
You must have Fireware® Pro installed on your Firebox®.
•
VLANs are supported from trusted and optional interfaces only. The external interface does not
allow VLAN configuration.
•
The WatchGuard® VLAN implementation does not support the spanning tree link management
protocol.
•
If your Firebox is configured with a drop-in configuration, you cannot use VLANs.
•
One Firebox physical interface can be an untagged VLAN member of only one VLAN. For
example, if eth0 is an untagged member of a VLAN named VLAN-1, it cannot be an untagged
member of a different VLAN at the same time.
•
A Firebox interface can send untagged data to only one VLAN.
•
A Firebox interface can receive untagged data frames for only one VLAN.
•
Your Firebox model and license controls the number of VLANs you can add to the Firebox. To see
the number of VLANs you can add to your Firebox, use Policy Manager to select
Setup > Licensed Features. Click the Active Features button and find the row labeled VLAN.
All network segments you want to add to a VLAN must have IP addresses on the VLAN network.
If you define VLANs, you can ignore messages with the text “802.1d unknown version”. These occur
because the WatchGuard VLAN implementation does not support spanning tree link management
protocol.
Tagging
To enable VLANs, VLAN-capable switches must be deployed in each site. The switch interfaces insert
tags at layer 2 of the data frame. These tags, which add an extra four bytes to the Ethernet header,
identify the frame as belonging to a specific VLAN. Tagging is specified by the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
The VLAN definition includes disposition of tagged and untagged data frames. You must specify
whether the VLAN receives tagged, untagged, or no data from each interface enabled on the Firebox.
The Firebox can insert tags for packets that are sent to a VLAN-capable switch. The Firebox can also
remove tags from packets that are sent to a network segment that belongs to a VLAN which has no
switch.

Network Setup with Multiple External
Interfaces
Fireware® appliance software gives you the option to configure multiple external interfaces (up to
four), each on a different subnet. This allows you to connect the Firebox® to more than one Internet
Service Provider (ISP). As soon as you configure a second external interface, multiple WAN support is
automatically enabled with multi-WAN. The default multi-WAN option is the Routing Table method.
Multi-WAN Requirements and Conditions
When you use multi-WAN, you must remember:
•
If you have a policy configured with an individual external interface alias in its configuration, you
must change the configuration to use the alias “Any-External” or another alias you configure for
the Firebox’s external interfaces. If you do not do this, some traffic could be denied by your
firewall policies.
•
Multi-WAN settings do not apply to incoming traffic. When you configure a policy for inbound
traffic, you can ignore all multi-WAN settings.
•
You can override the multi-WAN configuration in any individual policy. On the Policy tab of a
policy, select the Use policy-based routing check box and specify the external interface you
want the Firebox® to use. For more information on policy-based routing, see “About policy-based
routing” on page 198.
•
Map your company’s Fully Qualified Domain Name to the external interface IP address of the
lowest order. If you add a multi-WAN Firebox to your Management Server configuration, you
must add the Firebox using its lowest-ordered external interface to identify it.
•
You cannot use drop-in mode.
•
To use the Interface Overflow method, you must have a Fireware® Pro license and Fireware Pro
installed on your Firebox. You must also have a Fireware Pro license if you use the Round-robin
method and configure different weights for the Firebox’s external interfaces.
Multi-WAN and DNS
Make sure the DNS server can be reached through every WAN. Otherwise, you must modify your DNS
policy such that:
•
User Guide
The From list includes “Firebox”.
127
Multi-WAN Options
•
Select Use policy-based routing. If only one WAN can reach the DNS server, select that interface
in the adjacent drop-down list.
If more than one WAN can reach the DNS server, select any one of them, select Failover, select
Configure, and select all the interfaces that can reach the DNS server. The order does not matter.
Multi-WAN Options
When you configure multiple external interfaces, you have four options to control which interface an
outgoing packet uses. Some of these options require that you have Fireware® Pro installed on your Firebox.®
About the WAN Failover method
When you use the Failover method to route traffic through the Firebox’s external interfaces, you select
one external interface to be the primary external interface. Other external interfaces are backup interfaces, and you set the order for the Firebox to use the backup interfaces. The Firebox monitors the primary external interface. If it goes down, the Firebox sends all traffic to the next external interface in its
configuration.
While the Firebox sends all traffic to the backup interface, it continues to monitor the primary external
interface. When the primary interface is active again, the Firebox immediately starts to send all new
connections through the primary external interface again. You control the action for the Firebox to
take for existing connections; these connections can failback immediately, or continue to use the
backup interface until the connection is complete.
Multi-WAN Failover and High Availability are configured separately. Multi-WAN Failover caused by a
failed connection to a link monitor host does not trigger HA failover. HA failover occurs only when the
physical interface is down or does not respond. HA failover takes precedence over multi-WAN Failover.
About multi-WAN in round-robin order
When you configure multi-WAN with the Round-robin method, the Firebox looks at its internal routing
table to check for specific static or dynamic routing information for each connection. If no specified
route is found, the Firebox distributes the traffic load among its external interfaces. The Firebox uses
the average of sent (TX) and received (RX) traffic to balance the traffic load across all external interfaces
you specify in your round-robin configuration.
If you use Fireware Pro, you can assign a weight to each interface used in your round-robin configuration. By default and for all Fireware users, each interface has a weight of 1. The weight refers to the proportion of load that the Firebox sends through an interface. If you have Fireware Pro and you assign a
weight of 2 to an interface, you double the portion of traffic that will go through that interface compared to an interface with a weight of 1. For example, if you have three external interfaces with 6M,
1.5M, and .075M bandwidth and want to balance traffic across all three interfaces, you would use 8, 2,
and 1 as the weights for the three interfaces. Fireware will try to distribute connections so that 8/11,
2/11, and 1/11 of the total traffic flows through each of the three interfaces.
About multi-WAN with the routing table
When you select the Routing Table option for your multi-WAN configuration, the Firebox uses the
routes in its internal route table or routes it gets from dynamic routing processes to send packets
through the correct external interface. To see whether a specific route exists for a packet’s destination,
the Firebox examines its route table from the top to the bottom of the list of routes. You can see the list
of routes in the Firebox route table on the Status tab of Firebox System Manager.
128
WatchGuard System Manager
Multi-WAN Options
If the Firebox does not find a specified route, it selects the route to use based on source and destination IP hash values of the packet, using the ECMP (Equal Cost Multipath Protocol) algorithm specified
in:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2992.txt
With ECMP, the Firebox uses an algorithm to decide which next-hop (path) to use to send each packet.
This algorithm does not consider current traffic load.
When to use the Routing Table method
You must decide whether the Routing Table method is the correct multi-WAN method for your needs.
The Routing Table method is a good choice if:
•
You enable dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF, or BGP) and the routers on the external network
advertise routes to the Firebox so that the Firebox can learn the best routes to external locations.
•
You must get access to an external site or external network through a specific route on an
external network. Examples include:
- You have a private circuit that uses a frame relay router on the external network.
- You want all traffic to an external location to always go through a specific Firebox external
interface.
The Routing Table method is the fastest way to load balance more than one route to the Internet. After
you enable this option, the ECMP algorithm manages all connection decisions. No additional configuration is necessary on the Firebox.
Routing Table mode and load balancing
It is important to note that the Routing Table option does not load balance connections to the Internet.
The Firebox reads its internal route table from top to bottom. Static and dynamic routes that specify a
destination appear at the top of the route table and take precedence over default routes. (A default
route is a route with destination 0.0.0.0/0.) If there is no specific dynamic or static entry in the Firebox
route table for a destination, the traffic to that destination is routed among the Firebox’s external interfaces through the use of ECMP algorithms. This may or may not result in even distribution of packets
among multiple external interfaces.
About the Interface Overflow method
When you use the Interface Overflow multi-WAN configuration method, you select the order you want
the Firebox to send traffic through external interfaces and configure each interface with a bandwidth
threshold value. The Firebox starts to send traffic through the first external interface in its Interface
Overflow configuration list. When the traffic through that interface reaches the bandwidth threshold
you have set for that interface, the Firebox starts to send traffic to the next external interface you have
configured in your Interface Overflow configuration list.
This multi-WAN configuration method allows the amount of traffic sent over each WAN interface to be
restricted to a specified bandwidth limit. To determine bandwidth, the Firebox examines the amount
of sent (TX) and received (RX) packets and uses the higher number. When you configure the interface
bandwidth threshold for each interface, you must consider the needs of your network for this interface
and set the threshold value based on these needs. For example, if your ISP is asymmetrical and you set
your bandwidth threshold based on a large TX rate, interface overflow will not be triggered by a high
RX rate.
If all WAN interfaces have reached their bandwidth limit, the Firebox uses the ECMP (Equal Cost MultiPath Protocol) routing algorithm to find the best path.
You must have a Fireware Pro license to use this multi-WAN routing method.

ping the interface default gateway to check interface status.
If a link monitor host does not respond, it can take from 40 – 60 seconds for the Firebox to update its
route table. When the same Link Monitor host starts to respond again, it can take from 1– 60 seconds
for the Firebox to update its route table. This process takes more time than when the Firebox detects a
physical disconnect of the Ethernet port. When this occurs, the Firebox updates its route table immediately. When the Firebox detects the Ethernet connection is back up, it updates its route table within 20
seconds.

WAN interface. Select the Both ping and TCP must be successful to define the interface as
active check box if you want the interface to be considered active unless both a ping and TCP
handshake fail.
Note that if an external interface is a peer in a High Availability configuration, a multi-WAN
failover caused by a failed connection to a link monitor host does not trigger HA failover. HA
failover occurs only when the physical interface is down or does not respond.
If you add a domain name for the Firebox to ping and any one of the Firebox external interfaces
has a static IP address, you must configure a DNS server, as described in “Adding WINS and DNS
Server Addresses” on page 114.

Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) was first developed as a solution for organizations that could not
get enough registered IP network numbers from Internet Address Registrars for their increasing population of hosts and networks.
NAT is generically used to describe any of several forms of IP address and port translation. At its most
basic level, NAT changes the IP address of a packet from one value to a different value. The primary
purposes of NAT are to increase the number of computers that can operate off a single publicly
routable IP address, and to hide the private IP addresses of hosts on your LAN.
You can apply NAT as a general firewall setting, or as a setting in a policy. Note that firewall NAT settings do not apply to BOVPN or MUVPN policies.
If you have Fireware Pro, you can also access the configuration settings to set up the Server Load Balancing feature as part of a static NAT rule. The server load balancing feature is designed to help you
increase the scalability and performance of a high-traffic network with multiple public servers protected by your Firebox. With server load balancing, you can have the Firebox control the number of
sessions initiated to as many as ten servers for each firewall policy you configure. The Firebox controls
the load based on the number of sessions in use on each server. The Firebox does not measure or compare the bandwidth that is used by each server.
Types of NAT
WatchGuard® System Manager supports three different types of NAT.
Dynamic NAT
Dynamic NAT is also known as IP masquerading. The Firebox® can apply its public IP address to
the outgoing packets for all connections or for specified services. This hides the real IP address of
the computer that is the source of the packet from the external network. Dynamic NAT is
generally used to hide the IP addresses of internal hosts when they get access to public services.
1-to-1 NAT
1-to-1 NAT creates a mapping between IP addresses on one network and IP addresses on a
different network. This type of NAT is often used to give external computers access to your
public, internal servers.
User Guide
141
Using Dynamic NAT
Static NAT for a policy
Also known as port forwarding, you configure static NAT when you configure policies, as
described in “Setting Policy Properties” on page 195. Static NAT is a port-to-host NAT. A host
sends a packet from the external network to a port on an external interface. Static NAT changes
this IP address to an IP address and port behind the firewall.
It is possible that, in your configuration, you use more than one type of NAT.
Using Dynamic NAT
Dynamic NAT is the most frequently used type of NAT. It changes the source IP address of an outgoing
connection to the public IP address of the Firebox. Outside the Firebox, you see only the external interface IP address of the Firebox on outgoing packets.
Many computers can connect to the Internet from one public IP address. Dynamic NAT gives more
security for internal hosts that use the Internet, because it hides the IP addresses of hosts on your network. With dynamic NAT, all connections must start from behind the Firebox. Malicious hosts cannot
start connections to the computers behind the Firebox when the Firebox is configured for dynamic
NAT.
In most networks, the recommended security policy is to apply NAT to all outgoing packets. With Fireware®, dynamic NAT is enabled by default in the Network > NAT dialog box. It is also enabled by
default in each policy you create. You can override the firewall setting for dynamic NAT in your individual policies.
Adding firewall dynamic NAT entries
The default configuration of dynamic NAT enables dynamic NAT from all private IP addresses to the
external network. The default entries are:
•
192.168.0.0/16 - Any-External
•
172.16.0.0/12 - Any-External
•
10.0.0.0/8 - Any-External
These three network addresses are the private networks reserved by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) and usually are used for the IP addresses on LANs. To enable dynamic NAT for private IP
addresses other than these, you must add an entry for them. The Firebox applies the dynamic NAT

Using 1-to-1 NAT
Using 1-to-1 NAT
When you enable 1-to-1 NAT, the Firebox® changes and routes all incoming and outgoing packets sent
from one range of addresses to a different range of addresses. A 1-to-1 NAT rule always has precedence
over dynamic NAT.
1-to-1 NAT is frequently used when you have a group of internal servers with private IP addresses that
must be made public. You can use 1-to-1 NAT to map public IP addresses to the internal servers. You
do not have to change the IP address of your internal servers. When you have a group of similar servers
(for example, a group of email servers), 1-to-1 NAT is easier to configure than static NAT for the same
group of servers.
To understand how to configure 1-to-1 NAT, we give this example:
Company ABC has a group of five privately addressed email servers behind the trusted interface of
their Firebox X Peak. These addresses are:
10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
10.1.1.3
10.1.1.4
10.1.1.5
Company ABC selects five public IP addresses from the same network address as the external interface
of their Firebox, and creates DNS records for the email servers to resolve to.
These addresses are:
50.1.1.1
50.1.1.2
50.1.1.3
50.1.1.4
50.1.1.5
Company ABC configures a 1-to-1 NAT rule for their email servers. The 1-to-1 NAT rule builds a static,
bi-directional relationship between the corresponding pairs of IP addresses. The relationship looks like
this:
10.1.1.1 <--> 50.1.1.1
10.1.1.2 <--> 50.1.1.2
10.1.1.3 <--> 50.1.1.3
10.1.1.4 <--> 50.1.1.4
10.1.1.5 <--> 50.1.1.5
When the 1-to-1 NAT rule is applied, the Firebox creates the bi-directional routing and NAT relationship between the pool of private IP addresses and the pool of public addresses.
Defining a 1-to-1 NAT rule
In each 1-to-1 NAT rule, you can configure a host, a range of hosts, or a subnet. You must also configure:
Interface
The name of the Firebox® Ethernet interface on which 1-to-1 NAT is applied. The Firebox will
apply 1-to-1 NAT for packets sent in to, and out of, the interface. In our example above, the rule is
applied to the external interface.
144
WatchGuard System Manager
Using 1-to-1 NAT
NAT base
When you configure a 1-to1 NAT rule, you configure the rule with a “from” and a “to” range of IP
addresses. The NAT base is the first available IP address in the “to” range of addresses. The NAT
base IP address is the address that the real base IP address changes to when the 1-to-1 NAT is
applied. You cannot use the IP address of one of your FIrebox interfaces as your NAT base. In our
example above, the NAT base is 50.1.1.1.
Real base
When you configure a 1-to-1 NAT rule, you configure the rule with a “from” and a “to” range of IP
addresses. The Real base is the first available IP address in the “from” range of addresses. It is the
IP address assigned to the physical Ethernet interface of the computer to which you will apply
the 1-to-1 NAT policy. When packets from a computer with a real base address go through the
interface specified, the 1-to-1 action is applied. In our example above, the Real base is 10.1.1.1.
Number of hosts to NAT (for ranges only)
The number of IP addresses in a range to which the 1-to-1 NAT rule applies. The first real base IP
address is translated to the first NAT Base IP address when 1-to-1 NAT is applied. The second real
base IP address in the range is translated to the second NAT base IP address when 1-to-1 NAT is
applied. This is repeated until the “Number of hosts to NAT” is reached. In our example above,
the number of hosts to apply NAT to is five.
You can also use 1-to-1 NAT to solve the problem when you must create a VPN tunnel between two
networks that use the same private network address. When you create a VPN tunnel, the networks at
each end of the VPN tunnel must have different network address ranges. If the network range on the
remote network is the same as on the local network, you can configure both gateways to use 1-to-1
NAT. Then, you can create the VPN tunnel and not change the IP addresses of one side of the tunnel.
1-to-1 NAT for a VPN tunnel is configured when you configure the VPN tunnel and not in the

traffic from Any to 50.1.1.1-50.1.1.5.
To connect to a computer located on a different Firebox interface that uses 1-to-1 NAT, you must use that
computer’s private (NAT base) IP address. If this is a problem, you can disable 1-to-1 NAT and use static
NAT.
Configuring Policy-Based Dynamic or 1-to-1 NAT
Both dynamic and 1-to-1 NAT can be applied to individual policies. If traffic matches both 1-to-1 NAT
and dynamic NAT policies, the 1-to-1 NAT gets precedence.
Configuring policy-based 1-to-1 NAT
With this type of NAT, the Firebox® uses the private and public IP ranges that you set when you configured global 1-to-1 NAT, but the rules are applied to an individual policy. 1-to-1 NAT is enabled in the
default configuration of each policy. If traffic matches both 1-to-1 NAT and dynamic NAT policies, the
1-to-1 NAT gets precedence.

same as your MX record IP address. This source address must be on the same subnet as the
interface you specified for outgoing traffic.
If you do not select the Set source IP check box, the Firebox changes each packet’s source IP

Configuring Static NAT
Static NAT, also known as port forwarding, is a port-to-host NAT. A host sends a packet from the external network to a port on an external interface. Static NAT changes this IP address to an IP address and
port behind the firewall. If a software application uses more than one port and the ports are selected
dynamically, you must use 1-to-1 NAT or check whether a proxy on the Firebox® will manage this kind
of traffic.
When you use static NAT, you use an external IP address of your Firebox instead of the IP address of a
public server. You could do this because you choose to, or because your public server does not have a
public IP address. For example, you can put your SMTP email server behind the Firebox with a private IP
address and configure static NAT in your SMTP policy. The Firebox receives connections on port 25 and
makes sure that any SMTP traffic is sent to the real SMTP server behind the Firebox.
Because of how static NAT works, it is available only for policies that use a specified TCP or UDP port. A
policy that has another protocol cannot use incoming static NAT. If you have a policy that uses a protocol other than TCP or UDP, the NAT button in the Properties dialog box of that policy is disabled. You
also cannot use static NAT with the Any policy.

Server Load Balancing
Server Load Balancing
You must have Fireware Pro to use the Server Load Balancing feature.
The server load balancing feature in Fireware Pro is designed to help you increase the scalability and
performance of a high-traffic network with multiple public servers. With server load balancing, you can
have the Firebox control the number of sessions initiated to as many as 10 servers for each firewall policy you configure. The Firebox controls the load based on the number of sessions in use on each server.
The Firebox does not measure or compare the bandwidth that is used by each server.
You configure server load balancing as part of a static NAT rule. The Firebox can balance connections
among your servers with two different algorithms. When you configure server load balancing, you
must choose the algorithm you want the Firebox to apply:
Round-robin
If you select this option, the Firebox distributes incoming sessions among the servers you specify
in the policy in round-robin order. The first connection is sent to the first server specified in your
policy. The next connection is sent to the next server in your policy, and so on.
Least Connection
If you select this option, the Firebox sends each new session to the server in the list that currently
has the lowest number of open connections to the Firebox. The Firebox cannot tell how many
connections the server has open on other interfaces.
If you want to, you can apply weights to your servers in the server load balancing configuration to
make sure that your most powerful servers are given the heaviest load. By default, each interface has a
weight of one. The weight refers to the proportion of load that the Firebox sends to a server. If you
assign a weight of 2 to a server, you double the number of sessions that the Firebox sends to that
server, compared to a server with a weight of 1.
When you configure server load balancing, it is important to know:
•
You can configure server load balancing for any policy to which you can apply static NAT.
•
If you apply server load balancing to a policy, you cannot set policy-based routing or other NAT
rules in the same policy.
•
When you apply server load balancing to a policy, you can add a maximum of 10 servers to the
policy.
•
If you use High Availability and server load balancing, no real-time synchronization occurs when
a failover event occurs. The secondary Firebox sends connections to all servers in the server load
balancing list to see which servers are available. It then applies the server load balancing
algorithm to all available servers.
Configuring Server Load Balancing

Authentication
User authentication allows a user name to be associated with an IP address to help you monitor connections through the Firebox®. When you use user authentication, a Firebox administrator can see user
names and IP addresses when he or she monitors connections through the Firebox. Without authentication, you see only the IP address of each connection. With authentication, users can log in to the network from any computer, but see only the information for which they are authorized. All the
connections that start from that IP address also transmit the session name while the user is authenticated.
The Firebox allows you to create policies that include group and user names. As a result, the policy is
applied to any computer a person uses to log in. You monitor by user name:
•
If you use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP can cause the IP address of a
computer to change.
•
If many different users can use the same IP address in a day, such as in a university or computer
lab environment.
In these cases, authentication gives you more information about the user actions.
How User Authentication Works
An HTTPS server operates on the Firebox® to accept authentication requests. To authenticate, a user
must connect to the authentication web page on the Firebox. The address is:
https://IP address of a Firebox interface:4100/
or
https://Host name of the Firebox:4100
An authentication web form appears. The user must type his or her user name and password, and
select the authentication server from the drop-down list if more than one type of authentication is configured. The Firebox sends the name and password to the authentication server using PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol). When the user is authenticated, the user is then allowed to use the approved
network resources.
User Guide
153
How User Authentication Works
Because Fireware uses a self-signed certificate, you see a security warning from your web browser when
you authenticate. You can safely ignore this security warning.
Using authentication from the external network
One function of the authentication tool is to authenticate outgoing traffic. You can also use it to restrict
incoming network traffic. When you have an account on the Firebox, you can always authenticate to
the Firebox from a computer external to the Firebox. For example, you can type this address in your
browser at home:
https://IP address of Firebox external interface:4100/
After you authenticate, you can use the policies that are configured for you on the Firebox.
Use this procedure to let a remote user authenticate from the external network. This lets the person
use resources through the Firebox.

From Policy Manager, double-click the WatchGuard Authentication policy icon. This policy
appears after you add a user or group to a policy configuration.
You see a warning to be careful when you edit an automatically configured policy.

Using authentication through a gateway Firebox to another Firebox
To send an authentication request through a gateway Firebox to a different Firebox, it can be necessary to add a policy that allows the authentication traffic on the gateway Firebox. If authentication traf-

WatchGuard System Manager
About Authentication Timeout Values
fic is denied on the gateway Firebox, use Policy Manager to add the WatchGuard® Authentication
policy. This policy controls traffic on TCP port 4100. Configure the policy to allow traffic to the IP
address of the destination Firebox.
About Authentication Timeout Values
Users are authenticated for some time after they close their last authenticated connection. This timeout is set either in the Authentication Settings dialog box (described in the next section), or in the
Setup Firebox User dialog box (described in “Defining a new user for Firebox authentication” on
page 159). The Firebox® User setting overrides the global setting. The global setting is used only if no
Firebox User value is defined.
For users authenticated by third-party servers, the timeouts set on those servers also override the global authentication timeouts.
Authentication timeout values do not apply to PPTP users.
Defining global authentication timeouts
To define global authentication timeouts, select Setup > Authentication > Authentication Settings.
The Authentication Settings dialog box appears.
The global authentication timeouts are:
Session Timeout
Maximum length of time the user can send traffic to the external network. If you set this field to
zero (0) seconds, minutes, hours, or days, no session timeout is used and the user can stay
connected for any length of time.
Idle Timeout
Maximum length of time the user can stay authenticated when idle (not passing any traffic to the
external network). If you set this field to zero (0) seconds, minutes, hours, or days, no idle timeout
is used and the user can stay idle for any length of time.
Closing a session before timeout occurs
To close an authenticated session before the timeout occurs, a user can click Logout on the Authentication web page. If the page is closed, the user must open it again to disconnect. To prevent a user
from authenticating, the administrator must disable that user’s account on the authentication server.
User Guide
155
Using a Custom Default Start Page
Using a Custom Default Start Page
Normally, the Firebox web authentication page appears as the start page of your web browser. If you
want the browser to go to a different page after your users successfully log in, you can use the
Authentication Settings dialog box to define a redirect.
Allowing Multiple Concurrent Logins
From the Authentication Settings dialog box, select the
Allow multiple concurrent firewall authentication logins from the same account check box to
allow more than one user to authenticate, with the same user credentials at the same time, to one
authentication server. This is useful for guest accounts or in laboratory environments.
This feature is supported only if you use the Firebox® as an authentication server.
For MUVPN and PPTP users, multiple concurrent logins from the same account are always supported
regardless of whether this check box is selected. MUVPN users must log in from different IP addresses if
they want to do concurrent logins, which means that they cannot use the same account to log in if they
are behind a Firebox that uses NAT. PPTP users do not have this restriction.
Authentication Server Types
With Fireware®, there are five authentication methods:
•
Firebox
•
RADIUS
•
SecurID
•
Generic LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
•
Active Directory
You can configure one or more authentication server types for a Firebox. If you use more than one type
of authentication server, the user must select the authentication server type from a drop-down list
when they authenticate. For the Firebox administrator, the difference is that the user database can be
on the Firebox or on a dedicated authentication server.
156
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
When you use an authentication server, you configure it with the instructions from its manufacturer.
You install the server with access to the Firebox and put it behind the Firebox for security.
Using a backup authentication server
You can configure a primary and backup authentication server with all types of third-party authentication. If the Firebox cannot connect to the primary authentication server after three attempts, the primary server is marked as dead and an alarm message is generated. The Firebox then connects to the
backup authentication server.
If the Firebox cannot connect to the backup authentication server, it waits ten minutes, and then tries
to connect to the primary authentication server again. The dead server is marked as active after the
dead time interval is reached.
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
If you do not use a third-party authentication server, you can use the Firebox® as an authentication
server. This procedure divides your company into groups and users for authentication. The group to
which you assign a person is controlled by the tasks they do and information they use. For example,
you can have an accounting group, a marketing group, and a research and development group. You
can also have a new employee group, with controlled access to the Internet.
In a group, you set the authentication procedure for the users, the system type, and the information to
which they have access. A user can be a network or a computer. If your company changes, you can add
or remove users or systems from your groups.
The Firebox authentication server is enabled by default. You do not need to do anything to enable it.
Authentication types
You can configure the Firebox to authenticate users for three different types of authentication:
•
Firewall authentication
•
PPTP connections
•
MUVPN connections
When the authentication is successful, the Firebox makes a mapping between these items:
•
User name
•
Firebox User group (or groups) of which the user is a member
•
IP address on the user’s computer when the user authenticates
•
Virtual IP address on the user’s computer if the user is connected with RUVPN
Firewall authentication
When a user authenticates to the Firebox, the user credentials and IP address of the user’s computer
are both used to find whether a policy applies to the traffic starting from or going to that user’s computer.
To create a Firebox user account, see “Defining a new user for Firebox authentication” on page 159.
After you create the user account, you can make a Firebox User group and put the user in that group.
User Guide
157
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
Next, create a policy that allows traffic only to or from a list of Firebox user names or a list of Firebox
groups. This policy is applied only if a packet comes from or goes to the authenticated user’s IP
address.
A user authenticates with an HTTPS connection to the Firebox over port 4100 by typing:
https://IP address of a Firebox interface:4100/
If the user name and password are valid, the user is authenticated.
PPTP connections
To configure the Firebox to host PPTP VPN sessions, select VPN > Remote Users and click the PPTP
tab. If you do not select the check box Use Radius Authentication to authenticate remote users,
then the Firebox authenticates the PPTP session. The Firebox checks to see whether the user name and
password the user enters into the VPN connection box matches the user name and password in the
Firebox User database. If the credentials supplied by the user match an account in the Firebox User
database, the user is authenticated for a PPTP session.
Next, create a policy that allows traffic only from or to a list of Firebox user names, or a list of Firebox
groups. The Firebox does not look at this policy unless traffic comes from or goes to the authenticated
user’s virtual IP address.
The user makes the PPTP connection that uses the PPTP feature included in their computer operating
system. Because the Firebox allows the PPTP connection from any Firebox user that gives the correct
credentials, it is important that you make a policy for PPTP sessions that includes only users you want
to allow to send traffic over the PPTP session. Or, put these users into a Firebox User group and make a
policy that allows traffic only from this group. The Firebox creates a pre-configured group for this
called “PPTP-Users”.
MUVPN connections
You can configure the Firebox to host Mobile User VPN (MUVPN) IPSec sessions. To do this, select
VPN > Remote Users and click the Mobile User VPN tab. You can find more information and instructions for MUVPN in the MUVPN Administrator Guide, available at:
www.watchguard.com/help/documentation
You create the MUVPN group using the Add Mobile User VPN wizard. When the wizard is finished, Policy Manager does two things:
•
Makes a client configuration profile (called a .wgx file) and puts it on the management station
computer that created the MUVPN account. The user must have this .wgx file to configure the
MUVPN client computer.
•
Automatically adds an “Any” policy to the Mobile User VPN tab that allows traffic to pass to and
from the authenticated MUVPN user.
When the user’s computer is correctly configured, the user makes the MUVPN connection. If the user
name and password the user enters into the MUVPN authentication dialog box match an entry in the
Firebox User database, and if the user is in the MUVPN group you create, the MUVPN session is authenticated. Policy Manager automatically makes a policy that allows any traffic from the authenticated

user. To restrict the ports the MUVPN client can access, delete the Any policy and add policies for those
ports to the Mobile User VPN tab. To learn how to add policies, see “About Policy Manager” on

Using a local user account for Firewall user, PPTP, and MUVPN
authentication
Any user can authenticate as a Firewall user, PPTP user, or MUVPN user, and open a PPTP or MUVPN
tunnel if PPTP or MUVPN is enabled on the Firebox. However, after an authentication or tunnel has
been successfully established, users can send traffic through the VPN tunnel only if the traffic is
allowed by a policy on the Firebox. For example, an MUVPN-only user can send traffic through an
MUVPN tunnel, but not a PPTP tunnel even though the user can authenticate and bring up a PPTP tunnel.
If you use Active Directory authentication and a user’s group membership does not match your
MUVPN policy, you can see an error message that says “decrypted traffic does not match any policy.” If
you see this error message, make sure that the user is in a group with the same name as your MUVPN
group.
Configuring RADIUS Server Authentication
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) authenticates the local and remote users on a
company network. RADIUS is a client/server system that keeps the authentication information for
users, remote access servers, VPN gateways, and other resources in one central database.
The authentication messages to and from the RADIUS server always use an authentication key. This
authentication key, or shared secret, must be the same on the RADIUS client and server. Without this
key, hackers cannot get to the authentication messages. Note that RADIUS sends a key, and not a password, during authentication. For web and MUVPN authentication, RADIUS supports only PAP (not
CHAP) authentication. For authentication with PPTP, RADIUS supports only MSCHAPv2.
To use RADIUS server authentication with the Firebox®, you must:
•
Add the IP address of the Firebox to the RADIUS server, as described in the RADIUS vendor
documentation.
•
Enable and specify the RADIUS server in your Firebox configuration.
•
Add RADIUS user names or group names into the policies in Policy Manager.

8
To set the group attribute, use the Group Attribute value control to set the attribute you want.
The default group attribute is FilterID, which is RADIUS attribute 11.
The group attribute value is used to set which attribute carries the User Group information. You
must configure the RADIUS server so that, when it sends a message to the Firebox that a user is
authenticated, it also sends a FilterID string; for example, “engineerGroup” or “financeGroup”.
This information is then used for access control; it matches the FilterID string to the group name
configured in the Firebox policies.

2
To enable the LDAP server and enable the fields on this dialog box, select the
Enable LDAP server check box.
3
In the IP Address box, type the IP address of the primary LDAP server for the Firebox to contact
with authentication requests.
The LDAP server can be located on any Firebox interface. You can also configure your Firebox to
use an LDAP server through a VPN tunnel.
4
From the Port drop-down list, select the TCP port number for the Firebox to use to connect to
the LDAP server. The default port number is 389.
We do not support LDAP over TLS.
5
Type the Search Base. The standard format for the search base setting is: ou=organizational
unit,dc=first part of distinguished server name,dc=any part of the distinguished server name
that appears after the dot.
You set a search base to put limits on the directories on the authentication server the Firebox
searches in for an authentication match. For example, if your user accounts are in an OU
(organizational unit) you refer to as “accounts” and your domain name is kunstlerandsons.com,
your search base is: “ou=accounts,dc=kunstlerandsons,dc=com”.
6
Type the Group String.
This attribute string holds user group information on the LDAP server. On many LDAP servers,
the default group string is “uniqueMember”; on other servers it is “member”.
7
In the DN of Searching User field, type the distinguished name (DN) for a search operation. You
can enter any user DN with the privilege to search LDAP/Active Directory, such as

11 To set a time after which a dead server is marked as active again, enter it in the Dead Time field.
After an authentication server has not responded for a period of time, it is marked as dead.
Subsequent authentication attempts will not try this server until it is marked as active again.
Using LDAP optional settings
Fireware can get additional information from the directory server (LDAP or Active Directory) when it
reads the list of attributes in the server’s search response. This lets you use the directory server to
assign extra parameters to the authenticated user’s session, such as timeouts and MUVPN address
assignments. Because the data comes from LDAP attributes associated with individual user objects,
you can set these parameters for each individual user instead of being limited to global settings in Policy Manager.
You must perform several steps to use these optional settings:
•
Extend the directory schema to add new attributes for these items.
•
Make the new attributes available to the object class that user accounts belong to.
•
Give values to the attributes for the user objects that should use them.
You should do careful planning and testing before you extend your directory schema. Additions to the
Active Directory schema, for example, are generally permanent and cannot be undone. Use the
Microsoft web site to get resources for planning, testing, and implementing changes to an Active
Directory schema. Consult the documentation from your LDAP vendor before extending the schema
for other directories.
To specify additional attributes for Fireware® to look for in the directory server’s search response, click

Fireware looks for the attributes you type in this dialog box in the list of attributes it gets from the
search result, and uses the attribute’s value as follows:
166
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring LDAP Authentication
IP Attribute String
This field applies only to MUVPN clients.
Type the name of the attribute Fireware should use to assign the MUVPN client a virtual IP
address. This should be a single-valued attribute. The attribute’s value should be a normal
dotted-decimal IP address. The IP address must be within the pool of virtual IP addresses you
specify when you create the MUVPN Group.
If the Firebox does not see the IP attribute in the search response, or if you do not specify an
attribute in Policy Manager, it assigns the MUVPN client a virtual IP address from the virtual IP
address pool you create when you make the MUVPN Group.
Netmask Attribute String
This field applies only to MUVPN clients.
Type the name of the attribute for Fireware to use to assign a subnet mask to the MUVPN client’s
virtual IP address. This should be a single-valued attribute. The attribute’s value should be a
normal dotted-decimal subnet mask.
The MUVPN software automatically assigns a netmask if the Firebox does not see the netmask
attribute in the search response, or if you do not specify one in Policy Manager.
DNS Attribute String
This field applies only to MUVPN clients.
Type the name of the attribute Fireware should use to assign the MUVPN client one or more DNS
addresses for the duration of the MUVPN session. This can be a multi-valued attribute. Each
value for the attribute should be a normal dotted-decimal IP address.
If the Firebox does not see the DNS attribute in the search response, or if you do not specify an
attribute in Policy Manager, it uses the DNS addresses you enter if you select
Network > Configuration in Policy Manager and click the WINS/DNS tab.
WINS Attribute String
This applies only to MUVPN clients.
Type the name of the attribute Fireware should use to assign the MUVPN client one or more
WINS addresses for the duration of the MUVPN session. This can be a multi-valued attribute. Each
value for the attribute should be a normal dotted-decimal IP address.
If the Firebox does not see the WINS attribute in the search response or if you do not specify an
attribute in Policy Manager, it uses the WINS addresses you enter if you select
Network > Configuration in Policy Manager and click the WINS/DNS tab.
Lease Time Attribute String
This can apply to MUVPN clients and to clients that use Firewall Authentication.
Type the name of the attribute for Fireware to use to control the absolute amount of time a user
can stay authenticated (session timeout). After this amount of time, Fireware removes the user
from its list of authenticated users. This should be a single-valued attribute. Fireware interprets
the attribute’s value as a decimal number of seconds. It interprets zero as “never time out.”
Idle Timeout Attribute String
This applies to MUVPN clients and to clients that use Firewall Authentication.
Type the name of the attribute Fireware should use to control the amount of time a user can stay
authenticated with no traffic passing to the Firebox from the user (idle timeout). If no traffic
passes to the Firebox for this amount of time, Fireware removes the user from its list of
authenticated users. This should be a single-valued attribute. Fireware interprets the attribute’s
value as a decimal number of seconds. It interprets zero as “never time out.”

Configuring Active Directory Authentication
Configuring Active Directory Authentication
You can use an Active Directory authentication server to authenticate your users to the Firebox®. You
must configure the Firebox and configure the Active Directory server.
168
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > Authentication > Authentication Servers. Select the
Active Directory tab.
2
Select the Enable Active Directory Server check box.
3
Type the IP address of the primary Active Directory server. The Active Directory server can be
located on any Firebox interface. You can also configure the Firebox to use an Active Directory
server available through a VPN tunnel.
4
Select the TCP port number for the Firebox to use to connect to the Active Directory server. The
default port number is 389.
If your Active Directory server is a global catalog server, it can be useful to change the default
port. For more information, see the Authentication section of the Fireware FAQs at
www.watchguard.com/support/faqs.
5
In the Search Base field, type the location in the directory to begin the search. The standard
format for the search base setting is: ou=organizational unit,dc=first part of distinguished server
name,dc=any part of the distinguished server name that appears after the dot.
You set a search base to put limits on the directories on the authentication server the Firebox
searches in for an authentication match. For example, if your user accounts are in an OU
(organizational unit) you refer to as “accounts” and your domain name is HQ_main.com, your
search base is: “ou=accounts,dc=HQ_main,dc=com”.
6
In the Group String field, type the attribute string that is used to hold user group information on
the Active Directory server. If you have not changed your Active Directory schema, the group
string is always “memberOf”.
7
In the DN of Searching User field, type the distinguished name (DN) for a search operation. It is
not necessary to enter anything in this text box if you keep the login attribute of
WatchGuard System Manager
Defining Users and Groups for Policy Definitions
sAMAccountName. If you change the login attribute, you must add a DN of Searching User to
your configuration. You can enter any user DN with the privilege to search LDAP/Active
Directory, such as “Administrator.” However, a weaker user DN with only searching privilege is
usually sufficient.
8
In the DN of Searching Password field, type the password associated with the distinguished
name for a search operation.
9
In the Login Attribute field, type an Active Directory login attribute to use for authentication.
The login attribute is the name used for the bind to the Active Directory database.
The default login attribute is sAMAccountName. If you use sAMAccountName, the DN of
Searching User field and the DN of Searching Password field can be empty.
10 To set a time after which a dead server is marked as active again, enter it in the Dead Time field.
After an authentication server has not responded for a period of time, it is marked as dead.
Subsequent authentication attempts will not try this server until it is marked as active again.
11 To add a backup Active Directory server, select the Backup Server Settings tab, and select the
Enable a secondary Active Directory server check box. Enter the information in the required
fields. Make sure the shared secret is the same on the primary and backup Active Directory
server.
12 If you want, enter Active Directory user properties as described in the next section. Click OK.
Using Active Directory optional settings
Fireware can get additional information from the directory server (LDAP or Active Directory) when it
reads the list of attributes in the server’s search response. This lets you use the directory server to
assign extra parameters to the authenticated user’s session, such as timeouts and MUVPN address
assignments. Because the data comes from LDAP attributes associated with individual user objects,
you can set these parameters for each individual user instead of being limited to global settings in
Policy Manager.
You must perform several steps of you want to use these optional settings:
•
Extend the directory schema to add new attributes for these items.
•
Make the new attributes available to the object class that user accounts belong to.
•
Give values to the attributes for the user objects that should use them.
You should do careful planning and testing before you extend your directory schema. Additions to the
Active Directory schema, for example, are generally permanent and cannot be undone. Use the
Microsoft web site to get resources for planning, testing, and implementing changes to an Active
Directory schema.
To specify additional attributes for Fireware to look for in the directory server’s search response, click
Optional Settings on the LDAP tab or the Active Directory tab at
Setup > Authentication > Authentication Servers. You can find more information about each field in
“Using LDAP optional settings” on page 166.
Defining Users and Groups for Policy Definitions
When you configure the Firebox® to use an authentication server, you can start to use specified user
and group names when you create policies in Policy Manager. For example, you can define all policies
User Guide

such that connections are allowed only for authenticated users. Or, you can limit connections on a policy to particular users.
The term “authorized users and groups” refers to users and groups that are allowed to access network
resources.
Defining users and groups for Firebox authentication
If you use the Firebox as an authentication server and want to define users and groups that will authenticate through the Firebox, see “Defining a new user for Firebox authentication” on page 159 and
“Defining a new group for Firebox authentication” on page 160.
Defining users and groups for third-party authentication

Firewall Intrusion Detection and
Prevention
WatchGuard® Fireware® and the policies you create in Policy Manager give you strict control over
access to your network. A strict access policy helps keep hackers out of your network. But, there are
other types of attacks that a strict policy cannot defeat. Careful configuration of the Firebox® default
packet handling options can stop attacks such as SYN flood attacks, spoofing attacks, and port or
address space probes.
With default packet handling, a firewall examines the source and destination of each packet it receives.
It looks at the IP address and port number and monitors the packets to look for patterns that show your
network is at risk. If there is a risk, you can configure the Firebox to automatically block against the possible attack. This proactive method of intrusion detection keeps attackers out of your network. You can
also purchase an upgrade for your Firebox to use signature-based intrusion prevention. For more information, see the chapter “Signature-Based Intrusion Detection and Prevention” in this manual.
Using Default Packet Handling Options
The firewall examines the source and destination of each packet it receives. It looks at the IP address
and the port number. The firewall also monitors the packets to look for patterns that can show that
your network is at risk.
Default packet handling:
•
Rejects a packet that can be a security risk, including packets that could be part of a spoofing
attack or SYN flood attack
•
Can automatically block all traffic to and from a source IP address
•
Adds an event to the log file
•
Sends an SNMP trap to the SNMP management server
•
Sends a notification of possible security risks
User Guide
173
Using Default Packet Handling Options
You set all default packet handling options with the Default Packet Handling dialog box.
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > Intrusion Prevention > Default Packet Handling.
Or,
Click the default packet handling icon on the Policy Manager toolbar.
The Default Packet Handling dialog box appears.
2
Select the check box for the traffic patterns you want to prevent, as explained in the sections that
follow.
Spoofing attacks
One procedure that attackers use to get access to your network is to make an “electronic false identity.”
With this “IP spoofing” procedure, the attacker sends a TCP/IP packet that uses a different IP address
than the host that first sent it.
With anti-spoofing enabled, the Firebox® checks to make sure that the source IP address of a packet is
from a network on that interface.
To protect against spoofing attacks, select the Drop Spoofing Attacks check box from the Default
Packet Handling dialog box.
IP source route attacks
Attackers use IP source route attacks to send an IP packet to find the route that the packet uses to go
through the network. The attacker can then see the response to the packets and get information about
the operating system of the target computer or network device.
To protect against IP source route attacks, select the Drop IP Source Route check box from the
Default Packet Handling dialog box.
174
WatchGuard System Manager
Using Default Packet Handling Options
Port space and address space attacks
Attackers use probes to find information about networks and their hosts. Port space probes examine a
host to find the services that it uses. Address space probes examine a network to see which hosts are
on that network.
To protect against port space and address space attacks, select the Block Port Space Probes and the
Block Address Space Probes check boxes from the Default Packet Handling dialog box. You then
use the arrows to select the maximum allowed number of IP addresses or port probes per second for
each source IP address.
For example, if you enter 8 in the dest Ports/src IP field for port space probes, a source is blocked if it
initiates connections to eight different ports within one second on the same host. If you enter 8 in the
dest IPs/src IP field for address space probes, a source is blocked if it initiates connections to eight
hosts within one second.
Flood attacks
In a flood attack, attackers send a very high volume of traffic to a system so it cannot examine and
allow permitted network traffic. For example, an ICMP flood attack occurs when a system receives sufficient ICMP ping commands that it uses all of its resources to send reply commands. The Firebox can
protect against these types of flood attacks:
•
IPSec flood attacks
•
IKE flood attacks
•
ICMP flood attacks
•
SYN flood attacks
•
UDP flood attacks
Flood attacks are also known as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. You can use the
Default Packet Handling dialog box to configure the Firebox to protect against these attacks. Select
the check boxes for the flood attacks you want to prevent. Use the arrows to select the maximum
allowed number of packets each second.
About the SYN flood attack setting
For SYN flood attacks, you set the threshold for the Firebox to report that a SYN flood attack may be
taking place. But, no packets are dropped if only that number of packets is received. At twice the
threshold, all SYN packets are dropped. At any level between the threshold you define and twice that
level, if a packet's src_IP, dst_IP, and total_length are the same as the previous packet received, then it
will always be dropped; otherwise 25 percent of the new packets received are dropped.
For example, suppose you define the threshold at 18 packets per second. When you receive that
amount, the Firebox warns you that a SYN flood attack may be taking place but it drops no packets. If
you receive 20 packets per second, the FB drops 25% of the packets (5 packets). If you receive 36 or
more, the last 18 or more packets are dropped.
Unhandled packets
An “unhandled” packet is a packet that does not match any rule created in Policy Manager. The Firebox
always denies the packet, but you can also select to always automatically block the source. This adds
the IP address that sent the packet to the temporary Blocked Sites list. You can also send a TCP reset or
ICMP error back to the client when an unhandled packet is received by the Firebox.
User Guide
175
Setting Blocked Sites
Distributed denial of service attacks
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are almost the same as flood attacks. In a DDoS, many connections are sent to one computer system to try to flood the system and to prevent legitimate users
from using the targeted system. You can use the Default Packet Handling dialog box to configure the
Firebox to protect against DDoS attacks. Use the arrow keys to set the maximum allowed number of
connections per second from a source IP address protected by the Firebox (Per Client Quota) or to a
destination IP address protected by the Firebox (Per Server Quota). Connections that exceed this
quota are dropped.
Setting logging and notification for packet handling
The default Firebox® configuration tells the Firebox to send a log message when one of these events as
specified in the Default Packet Handing dialog box occurs. To configure an SNMP trap or notification
for default packet handling:
1
From the Default Packet Handing dialog box, click Logging.
The Logging and Notification dialog box appears.
2
Set the parameters to comply with your security policy. For more information about these
parameters, see “Setting Logging and Notification Preferences in Policy Manager” on page 96.
Setting Blocked Sites
The Blocked Sites feature helps protect your network from systems you know or think are a security
risk. After you find the source of suspicious traffic, you can block all connections with that IP address.
You can also configure the Firebox to send a log message each time the source tries to connect to your
network. From the log file, you can see the services that the sources use to attack.
A blocked site is an IP address that cannot make a connection through the Firebox. If a packet comes
from a system that is blocked, it does not get through the Firebox®.
There are two different types of blocked IP addresses:
176
•
Permanently blocked sites — IP addresses on a list in the configuration file that you set manually.
This is known as the Blocked Sites list.
•
Auto-blocked sites — IP addresses that the Firebox adds to a temporary blocked site list. The
Firebox uses the packet handling rules that are specified for each policy. For example, suppose
you configure the Firebox to block the IP addresses that try to connect to a blocked port. These
addresses are then blocked for a specified time. This is known as the Temporary Blocked Sites list.
WatchGuard System Manager

Address.) Fireware tries to save computation cycles by not identifying the destination interface of a
packet if its source or destination address is blocked.
Blocking Ports
You can block the ports that you know can be used to attack your network. This stops specified external network services. When you block a port, you override all of the policy definitions you create in
Policy Manager (as described in the “Policies” and “Proxy Policies” chapter.
You can block a port because:
•
Blocking ports protects your most sensitive services. The feature helps protect you from errors in
your Firebox® configuration.
•
Probes against sensitive services can make independent log entries.
With the default configuration, the Firebox blocks some destination ports. This gives a basic configuration that you usually do not have to change. It blocks TCP and UDP packets for these ports:
X Window System (ports 6000-6005)
The X Window System (or X-Windows) client connection is not encrypted and is dangerous to
use on the Internet.
X Font Server (port 7100)
Many versions of X-Windows operate X Font Servers. The X Font Servers operate as the superuser on some hosts.
NFS (port 2049)
NFS (Network File System) is a frequently used TCP/IP service where many users use the same
files on a network. New versions have important authentication and security problems. To
supply NFS on the Internet can be very dangerous.
The portmapper frequently uses the port 2049 for NFS. If you use NFS, make sure that NFS uses the port
2049 on all your systems.
rlogin, rsh, rcp (ports 513, 514)
These services give remote access to other computers. They are a security risk and many
attackers probe for these services.
RPC portmapper (port 111)
The RPC Services use port 111 to find which ports a given RPC server uses. The RPC services are
easy to attack through the Internet.
port 8000
Many vendors use this port, and many security problems are related to it.
port 1
The TCPmux service uses Port 1, but not frequently. You can block it to make it more difficult for
the tools that examine ports.
port 0
This port is always blocked by the Firebox. You cannot allow traffic on port 0 through the
Firebox.
If you must allow traffic through for the types of software applications that use recommended blocked
ports, we recommend that you allow the traffic only through an IPSec VPN tunnel or use ssh to get access
to the port.

Policies
WatchGuard® System Manager uses two categories of policies to filter network traffic: packet filters and
proxies. A packet filter examines each packet’s IP and TCP/UDP header. If the packet header information
is legitimate, then the Firebox® allows the packet. Otherwise, the Firebox drops the packet. A proxy also
examines the header information, but it also examines the content. When you activate a proxy, the Firebox uses deep packet inspection to make sure that connections are secure. It opens each packet in
sequence, removes the network layer header, and examines the packet’s payload. Finally, the proxy
puts the network information back on the packet and sends it to its destination.
Policy Manager shows each packet filter and proxy as an icon. You configure the source and destination
for the traffic, and whether the traffic is allowed or denied. You also set rules for logging and notification and configure the ports, protocols, and other parameters of the packet filter or proxy.
WatchGuard Fireware® includes many pre-configured packet filters and proxies. For example, if you
want a packet filter for all Telnet traffic, you add a pre-defined Telnet policy that you can modify for
your needs. You can also make a custom packet filter or proxy for which you set the ports, protocols,
and other parameters.
In this guide, we refer to packet filters and proxies together as policies. Unless we tell you differently,
the procedures refer to both proxies and packet filters. Procedures that apply only to proxies are
described in the next chapter.
Using Policies in your Network
The security policy of your organization is a set of rules that define how you protect your computer network and the information that goes through it. The Firebox® denies all packets that are not specially
approved. This security policy helps to protect your network from:
•
Attacks that use new or different IP protocols
•
Unknown applications
When you configure the Firebox with the Quick Setup Wizard, the wizard adds only four basic policies
(TCP/UDP outgoing, FTP packet filter, ping, and WatchGuard) and interface IP addresses. If you have
more software applications and network traffic for the Firebox to examine, you must:

We recommend that you set limits on outgoing access when you configure your Firebox.
As an example of how a policy might be used, suppose the network administrator of a company wants
to activate a Windows terminal services connection to the company’s public web server on the
optional interface of the Firebox. He or she routinely administers the web server with a Remote Desktop connection. At the same time, he or she wants to make sure that no other network users can use
the Remote Desktop Protocol terminal services through the Firebox. The network administrator would
add a policy that allows RDP connections only from the IP address of his or her own desktop computer
to the IP address of the public web server.
About Policy Manager

About Custom Policies
Seeing and modifying policy templates
To see a policy template, select it on the Add Policies dialog box and click Edit. You normally do not
need to see the actual template because relevant information from the template appears in the Details
box when you select the policy template on the Add Policies dialog box. With pre-defined policies
(those listed under Packet Filters and Proxies in the Add Policies dialog box), you can edit only the
Description field on the policy template. You also cannot delete pre-defined policies. You can, however, perform both of these operations on custom policy templates. For more information on custom
policies, see “About Custom Policies,” below.
Disabling a policy
To disable a policy, you can right-click it in the Policy Manager window and select Disable. When a policy is disabled, the menu choice changes to Enable, which you can use to reenable the policy.
You can also clear the Enable check box at the top of the Edit Policy Properties dialog box to disable
a policy. If you want to reenable the policy, select the Enable check box.
Deleting a policy
As your security policy changes, you sometimes have to remove one or more policies. To remove a policy, you first remove it from Policy Manager. Then you save the new configuration to the Firebox®.
1
From Policy Manager, click the policy.
2
In Policy Manager, click the X button on the Policy Manager toolbar.
You can also select Edit > Delete Policy.

About Custom Policies
Policy Manager includes many packet filter policies. You can also add custom policies, which allow the
WatchGuard® Firebox® to safely accommodate new services.
192
WatchGuard System Manager
About Custom Policies
A custom policy definition includes ports and protocols that are unique to one type of network traffic.
You can add a custom policy that uses:
•
TCP ports
•
UDP ports
•
An IP protocol that is not TCP or UDP, such as GRE, AH, ESP, ICMP, IGMP, OSPF, and IP. You
identify an IP protocol that is not TCP or UDP with the IP protocol number.
Creating a custom policy template
The first step when you create a new policy is to make a template for it. The template is added to the
Add Policies dialog box. You can then add it to Policy Manager and configure it as you would a predefined policy.
1
In Policy Manager, click the plus (+) sign on the Policy Manager toolbar.
You can also select Edit > Add Policies. The Add Policies dialog box appears.
2
Click New.
The New Policy Template dialog box appears.
3
In the Name text box, type the name of the custom policy.
The name appears in Policy Manager as the policy type. A unique name helps you to find the
policy when you want to change or remove it. This name must not be the same as any name in
the list in the Add Policy dialog box.
4
In the Description text box, type a description of the policy.
This appears in the Details section when you click the policy name in the list of User Filters.
5
Select the type of policy: Packet Filter or Proxy.

To set properties for a policy, double-click the policy icon to open the Edit Policy Properties dialog
box.
Setting sources and destinations for a policy
You use the Policy tab of the Edit Policy Properties dialog box to configure access rules for a given
policy.
The Policy tab shows:
•
A From list (or “source”) that specifies who can send (or cannot send) network traffic with this
policy.
•
A To list (or “destination”) that specifies who the Firebox can route traffic to if the traffic matches
the policy specifications.
For example, you could configure a ping packet filter to allow ping traffic from all computers on the
external network to one web server on your optional network. Note, however, that the destination network is made vulnerable whenever you open it to connections over the port or ports that the policy
controls. Make sure you use care when you configure your policies.
The source and destination can be a host IP address, host range, host name, network address, user
name, alias, VPN tunnel, or any combination of those objects. For more information on the aliases that
appear as options on the From and To list, see “Working with Aliases” on page 76.
Access rules do not specify only source and destinations that are allowed; you can also use the rules to
deny traffic. You use these settings to configure how traffic is handled:
Allowed
The Firebox allows traffic that uses this policy if it matches the rules you set in the policy.
Denied
The Firebox denies all traffic that matches the rules in this policy. You can configure it to record a
log message when a computer tries to use this policy. It can also automatically add a computer
or network that tries to start a connection with this policy to the Blocked Sites list (configured on
the Properties tab).
Denied (send reset)
The Firebox denies all traffic that matches the rules in this policy. It can also automatically add a
computer or network that tries to start a connection with this policy to the Blocked Sites list

About policy-based routing
To send network traffic, a router usually examines the destination address in the packet and looks at
the routing table to find the next-hop destination. In some cases, you want to send traffic to a different
path than the default route specified in the routing table. You can configure a policy with a specific
external interface to use for all outbound traffic that matches that policy. This technique is known as
policy-based routing.
Policy-based routing can be used when you have more than one external interface and have configured your Firebox for multi-WAN. With policy-based routing, you can make sure that all traffic for a policy always goes out through the same external interface, even if your multi-WAN configuration is set to
send traffic in a round-robin configuration. When you use policy-based routing along with multi-WAN
failover, you can specify whether traffic that matches the policy uses another external interface when
failover occurs. The default is that the traffic is dropped until the interface is available again.
Policy-based routing takes precedence over other multi-WAN settings. Also, failback settings (defined
on the Multi-WAN tab of the Network Configuration dialog box) apply to policy-based routing. If a
failover event occurs, and the original interface later becomes available, the Firebox can send active
connections to the failover interface or it can fail back to the original interface. New connections are
sent to the original interface.
Note the following restrictions on policy-based routing:
•
Policy-based routing is available only if multi-WAN is enabled. If you enable multi-WAN, the Edit
Policy Properties dialog box automatically includes fields for configuring policy-based routing.
By default, policy-based routing is not enabled.
•
Policy-based routing does not apply to IPSec traffic, or to traffic destined for the trusted or
optional network (incoming traffic).

To specify the interface to send outbound traffic that matches the policy, select the interface
name from the adjacent drop-down list. You must make sure that the interface you select is a
member of the alias or network that you set in the To field of your policy. For example, in the
screenshot above, the interface named “External” is a member of the Any-External alias.

messages for both allowed and denied traffic, you must use different policies for each.
Configuring static NAT for a policy
Static NAT is also known as port forwarding. Static NAT is a port-to-host NAT. A host sends a packet
from the external network to a specified public address and port. Static NAT changes this address to an
User Guide
201
Setting Policy Properties
address and port behind the firewall. For more information on NAT, see the “Network Address Translation” chapter in this guide.
Because of how static NAT operates, it is available only for policies that use a specified port, which
includes TCP and UDP. A policy that uses a different protocol cannot use incoming static NAT. The NAT
button in the Properties dialog box of that policy does not operate. You also cannot use static NAT
with the Any policy.
Using NAT with SMTP
To help fight spam, many servers that receive email do a reverse lookup of the source IP address the
mail comes from. The receiving server does this to make sure that the sending server (the server sending the email) is an authorized mail server for that domain. Because of this, we recommend that you
use the external IP address of your Firebox as the MX record for your domain. An MX, or Mail exchange,
record is a type of DNS record that sets how email is routed through the Internet. MX records show the
servers to send an email message to, and which server to send an email message to first, by priority.
Usually, connections that start from a trusted or optional network and go to the Internet show the
external IP address of the Firebox as the source IP address of the packets. If the Firebox external IP
address is not your domain’s MX record IP address, some remote servers reject email that you send.
They do this because the SMTP session does not show your MX DNS record as the source IP address for
the connection. If your Firebox does not use your MX record IP address as the external interface IP
address, you can use a 1-to-1 NAT mapping to make outgoing email connections show the correct
source IP address. See the “Network Address Translation” chapter for more information on 1-to-1 NAT.

Configuring server load balancing for a policy
If you have Fireware® Pro, you can use the server load balancing feature to help you increase the scalability and performance of a high-traffic network with multiple public servers protected by your Firebox. With server load balancing, you can have the Firebox control the number of sessions initiated to as
many as 10 servers for each firewall policy you configure. The Firebox controls the load based on the
number of sessions in use on each server. For information on how to configure server load balancing,
see “Server Load Balancing” on page 149.
Setting an operating schedule
You can set an operating schedule for the policy. You can use the schedule templates in the Schedule
drop-down list or create a custom schedule. For information, see the “Basic Configuration Setup” chapter in this guide.
Note that schedules can be shared by more than one policy.
Applying Traffic Management actions
If you have Fireware Pro on your Firebox, you can assign a Traffic Management action to the policy. Use
the button on the far right to create a new Traffic Management action. After you create a new Traffic
Management action, it appears in the Traffic Management drop-down list. For more information, see

Applying NAT rules
You can apply Network Address Translation (NAT) rules to a policy. From the Advanced tab of the Edit
Policy Properties dialog box, select one of the following options:
1-to-1 NAT
With this type of NAT, the Firebox uses private and public IP ranges that you set, as described in
“Using 1-to-1 NAT” on page 144.
Dynamic NAT
With this type of NAT, the Firebox maps private IP addresses to public IP addresses. All policies
have dynamic NAT enabled by default. Select Use Network NAT Settings if you want to use the
dynamic NAT rules set for the Firebox. Select All traffic in this policy if you want to apply NAT to
all traffic in this policy.
You can use the Set Source IP field to set a dynamic NAT source IP address for any policy that
uses dynamic NAT. This makes sure that any traffic that uses this policy shows a specified address
from your public or external IP address range as the source. You would most often do this to
force outgoing SMTP traffic to show your domain’s MX record address when the IP address on
the Firebox’s external interface is not the same as your MX record IP address.
1-to-1 NAT rules have higher precedence than dynamic NAT rules.
Using QoS Marking for a policy
QoS Marking creates different classes of service for different kinds of outbound network traffic. When
you “mark” traffic, you change up to six bits on packet header fields defined for this purpose. QoS-capable external devices can make use of this marking and provide appropriate handling of a packet as it
travels from one point to another in a network.
You can use QoS Marking on a per-interface or per-policy basis. When you define QoS Marking for an
interface, packets leaving that interface are marked. QoS Marking for a policy marks traffic that uses the
policy.
1
From the Edit Policy Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
2
Midway down the dialog box, select the QoS tab.
3
Select the Override per-interface settings check box to make the QoS Marking for a policy
override any QoS Marking set on an interface.
For information on how to use QoS Marking, see “About QoS Marking” on page 456.

Enabling sticky connections for a policy
A sticky connection is a connection that continues to use the same interface for a defined period of
time. Stickiness makes sure that, if a packet goes out through one external interface, any future packets
between the source and destination address pair use the same external interface for a specified period
of time. By default, sticky connections use the same interface for 3 minutes.
The Sticky Connections tab appears only if multi-WAN is enabled.
The sticky connection setting for a policy overrides the setting, if any, at the interface level.

Setting Policy Precedence
Precedence is the sequence in which the Firebox® examines network traffic and applies a policy rule.
The Firebox routes the traffic according to the rules for the first policy that the traffic matches. Fireware® Policy Manager automatically sorts policies from the most specific to the most general. You can
also manually set the precedence.
Using automatic order
Unless you manually set precedence, Policy Manager gives the highest precedence to the most specific
policies and the lowest to the least specific. Policy Manager examines specificity of the following criteria in this order. If it cannot determine the precedence from the first criterion, it moves to the second,
and so on.
1
The policy itself. For example, an Any policy is less specific than policies that allow only specific
traffic.
2
Protocols set for the policy type. For example, a policy that specifies many ports for a given
protocol is less specific than a policy with fewer ports.
3
Traffic rules of the To field. Most specific to least specific are: rules specifying IP address ranges,
users, groups, interfaces.
4
Traffic rules of the From field. Most specific to least specific are: rules specifying IP address
ranges, users, groups, interfaces.
5
Firewall action applied to the policies. Most specific to least specific is: Denied or Denied (send
reset), Allowed (proxy policy), Allowed (packet filter policy).
6
Schedules applied to the policies. Most to least specific is: Always off, Sometimes on, Always on.

Proxy Policies
All WatchGuard® policies, whether they are packet filter policies or proxy policies, are important tools
for network security. While a packet filter examines each packet’s IP and TCP/UDP header, a proxy monitors and scans whole connections. It examines the commands used in the connection to make sure
they are in the correct syntax and order. It also uses deep packet inspection to make sure that connections are secure.
A proxy opens each packet in sequence, removes the network layer header, and examines the packet’s
payload. It then puts the network information back on the packet and sends it to its destination. As a
result, a proxy can find forbidden content hidden or embedded in the data payload. For example, an
SMTP proxy examines all incoming SMTP packets (email) to find forbidden content, such as executable
programs or files written in scripting languages. Attackers frequently use these methods to send computer viruses. The SMTP proxy can enforce a policy that forbids these content types, while a packet filter cannot detect the unauthorized content in the packet’s data payload.
If you have purchased and enabled additional security services (Gateway AntiVirus, Intrusion Prevention Service, spamBlocker, WebBlocker), proxies can apply these services.
WatchGuard System Manager supports the following proxies: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, DNS, and TCP.
Working with WatchGuard Proxies
When you add a proxy policy to Policy Manager for your Firebox®, you specify types of content that the
proxy must look for as it filters traffic. If the content matches (or does not match) the criteria you set in
the proxy definition, the proxy takes a certain action, such as denying a packet or stripping content from
it.
The procedures you use to define proxies are often very similar regardless of the type of proxy. Three
concepts are consistent throughout all proxy definitions:
•
Rules and rulesets
•
Proxy actions
•
Predefined and user-defined proxy actions
User Guide
209
Working with WatchGuard Proxies
About rules and rulesets
A major portion of the work you do to configure a proxy policy involves creating or modifying rules,
which are sets of criteria to which the proxy compares traffic. A rule consists of a type of content, pattern, or expression, and the action the Firebox does when a component of the packet’s content
matches that content, pattern, or expression. Rules also include settings for when the Firebox sends
alarms or if it sends events to the log file. A ruleset is a group of rules based on one feature of a proxy
such as the content types or filenames of email attachments. The process to create and modify rules is
consistent throughout all Fireware® proxies.
The Firebox includes default sets of rules for each proxy policy included in the Firebox configuration.
Separate sets of rules are provided for clients and servers—to protect both your trusted users and your
public servers. You can use these rules without changing them, or you can customize them to meet your
business needs.
For more information on how to work with, create, and modify rules, see “Working with Rules and
Rulesets” on page 251.
About proxy actions
Because your configuration can include several instances of each proxy, each instance is linked to a
specific group of settings or rulesets called a proxy action. For each proxy, you typically have separate
proxy actions for clients and servers. For example, you would use one proxy action for packets sent to a
POP3 server protected by the Firebox® and a different proxy action to apply to email messages
retrieved by POP3 clients.
You can create more than one proxy action for each type of proxy, but you can assign only one proxy
action to each proxy policy. For example, a POP3 proxy icon that appears in the Policy Manager main
window is linked to only one proxy action; for example, a POP3-Client action. If you want to create a
POP3 proxy for a POP3 server, or an additional policy for POP3 clients, you must add a new POP3 policy
to Policy Manager.
Predefined and user-defined proxy actions
The Firebox has predefined client and server proxy actions for each proxy. These predefined actions
are configured to balance the accessibility requirements of a typical company with the need to protect
your computer assets from attacks. You cannot change the settings of predefined proxy actions. If you
want to make changes to the configuration, you must clone (copy) the existing definition and save it as
a user-defined proxy action. For example, if you want to change a setting in the HTTP-Client proxy
action, you must save it with a different name, such as HTTP-Client.1. Note that this is necessary only
when you make changes to rulesets. If you make changes to general settings such as the allowed
sources or destinations or NAT settings for a policy, you do not need to save it under a new name.

When you configure a proxy, you can see the rulesets for that proxy in the Categories list on the
left side of the dialog box. Go to the section in this chapter on the specific proxy you want to
define.
SMTP Proxy
SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) is a protocol used to send email messages between email servers and also between email clients and email servers. It usually uses a TCP connection on port 25. You
use the SMTP proxy to control email messages and email content. The proxy scans SMTP messages for a
number of filtered parameters, and compares them against the rules in the proxy configuration.
When you use incoming static NAT with SMTP, you might see packets that come from the remote mail
server being denied with destination port 113. In these cases, you can add an IDENT policy to Policy
Manager. Configure IDENT to allow incoming connections to: Firebox. This enables outgoing mail
messages from behind the Firebox to the few SMTP servers on the Internet that use IDENT.
To add the SMTP proxy to your Firebox configuration, see “Adding a Proxy to your Firebox Configuration” on page 211. Then, if you choose, modify the rulesets for the proxy, as described in subsequent
sections.
SMTP proxy: General settings
On the General Settings page (the page that first appears after you click the View/Edit Proxy icon), you
can set basic SMTP proxy parameters such as idle timeout and message limits.
User Guide
213
SMTP Proxy
Idle timeout
You can set the length of time an incoming SMTP connection can idle before the connection
times out. The default value is 10 minutes.
Maximum email recipients
With the Set the maximum email recipients to check box, you can set the maximum number of
email recipients to which a message can be sent. The Firebox® counts and allows the specified
number of addresses through, and then drops the other addresses. For example, if you set the
value to 50 and there is a message for 52 addresses, the first 50 addresses get the email message.
The last two addresses do not get a copy of the message. A distribution list appears as one SMTP
email address (for example, [email protected]). The Firebox counts this as one address.
You can use this feature to decrease spam email because spam usually includes a large recipient
list. Be careful when you do this because you can also deny legitimate email.
Maximum address length
With the Set the maximum address length to check box, you can set the maximum length of
email addresses.
Maximum email size
With the Set the maximum email size to check box, you can set the maximum length of an
incoming SMTP message. Most email is sent as 7-bit ASCII text. The exceptions are Binary MIME
and 8-bit MIME. 8-bit MIME content (for example, MIME attachments) is encoded with standard
algorithms (Base64 or quote-printable encoding) to enable them to be sent through 7-bit email
systems. Encoding can increase the length of files by as much as one third. To allow messages as
large as 10 KB, you must set this field to a minimum of 1334 bytes to make sure all email gets
through.
214
WatchGuard System Manager
SMTP Proxy
Maximum email line length
With the Set the maximum email line length to check box, you can set the maximum line
length for lines in an SMTP message. Very long line lengths can cause buffer overflows on some
email systems. Most email clients and systems send short line lengths, but some web-based
email systems send very long lines.
Hide Email Server
Select the Message ID and Server Replies check boxes to replace MIME boundary and SMTP
greeting strings in email messages. These are used by hackers to identify the SMTP server vendor
and version.
If you have an email server and use the SMTP-Incoming proxy action, you can have the SMTP
proxy replace the domain shown in your SMTP server banner with a domain name you select. To
do this, next to Rewrite Banner Domain, type the domain name you want to use in your banner
in the text box that appears. For this to occur, you must also have the Server Replies check box
selected.
If you use the SMTP-Outgoing proxy action, you can have the SMTP proxy replace the domain
shown in the HELO or EHLO greetings. A HELO or EHLO greeting is the first part of an SMTP
transaction, when your email server announces itself to a receiving email server. To do this, next
to Rewrite HELO Domain, type the domain name you want to use in your HELO or EHLO
greeting in the text box that appears.
Allow uuencoded attachments
Select this check box if you want the SMTP proxy to allow uuencoded attachments to email
messages. Uuencode is an older program used to send binary files in ASCII text format over the
Internet. UUencode attachments can be security risks because they appear as ASCII text files but
can actually contain executables.
Allow BinHex attachments
Select this check box if you want the SMTP proxy to allow BinHex attachments to email
messages. BinHex, which is short for binary-to-hexadecimal, is a utility that converts a file from
binary format to ASCII.
Auto-block sources of invalid commands
Select this check box to add senders of invalid SMTP commands to the Blocked Sites list. Invalid
SMTP commands often indicate an attack on your SMTP server.
Turn on logging for Historical Reports
Select to send a log message for each connection request through SMTP. For Historical Reports
to create accurate reports on SMTP traffic, you must select this check box.

This is an extension to SMTP that allows an SMTP client and server to interact to start the
exchange of message queues for a given host.
Allow 8-Bit MIME
Select to allow 8-bit MIME, if the client and host give support to the extension. The 8-bit MIME
extension allows a client and host to exchange messages made up of text that has octets which
are not of the US-ASCII octet range (hex 00-7F, or 7-bit ASCII) that SMTP uses.

SMTP proxy: Content types
Certain kinds of content embedded in email can be a security threat to your network. Other kinds of
content can decrease the productivity of your users. You use the ruleset for the SMTP-Incoming proxy
action to set values for incoming SMTP content filtering. You use the ruleset for the SMTP-Outgoing
proxy action to set values for outgoing SMTP content filtering. The SMTP proxy allows these content
types: text/*, image/*, multipart/*, and message/*. If the default ruleset does not meet all of your business needs, you can add, delete, or modify rules:
1
From the Categories section, select Content Types.
Select the Enable content type auto detection check box for the SMTP proxy to examine
content to determine content type. Otherwise, the SMTP proxy uses the value stated in the email
header, which clients sometimes set incorrectly.
As an example, an attached .pdf file might have a content type stated as application/octetstream. If you enable content type auto detection, the SMTP proxy recognizes the .pdf file and
uses the actual content type, application/pdf. If the proxy does not recognize the content type

after it examines the content, it uses the value stated in the email header, as it would if content
type auto detection were not enabled.
Because hackers often try to disguise executable files as other content types, we recommend
that you enable content type auto detection to make your installation more secure.

Use the Mail From ruleset to put limits on email and allow email into your network only from specified
senders. The default configuration is to allow email from all senders. If the default ruleset does not
meet all of your business needs, you can add, delete, or modify rules.
The Mail To ruleset can limit the email that goes out of your network to only specified recipients. The
default configuration allows email to all recipients out of your network. On an SMTP-Incoming proxy
action, you can use the Mail To ruleset to prevent people from using your email server for email relaying. To do this, make sure that all domains your email server accepts email for appear in the rule list.
Then, make sure the Action to Take if None Matched is set to Deny. Any email with an address that
does not match the listed domains is denied.
You can also use the Rewrite As feature included in this rule configuration dialog box to have the Firebox change the From and To components of your email address to a different value. This feature is also
known as “SMTP masquerading.”
There are two more options available in the Mail From and Mail To rulesets:
Block source-routed addresses
Select this check box to block a message when the sender address or recipient address contains
source routes. A source route identifies the path a message must take when it goes from host to
host. The route can identify which mail routers or “backbone” sites to use. For example,
@backbone.com:[email protected] means that the host named Backbone.com must be
used as a relay host to deliver mail to [email protected]. By default, this option is enabled
for incoming SMTP packets and disabled for outgoing SMTP packets.
Block 8-bit characters
Select this check box to block a message that has 8-bit characters in the sender user name or
recipient user name. This allows an accent on an alphabet character. By default, this option is
enabled for incoming SMTP packets and disabled for outgoing SMTP packets.

POP3 Proxy
POP3 Proxy
POP3 (Post Office Protocol v.3) is a protocol that moves email messages from an email server to an
email client on a TCP connection on port 110. Most Internet-based email accounts use POP3. With
POP3, an email client contacts the email server and checks for any new email messages. If it finds a new
message, it downloads the email message to the local email client. After the message is received by the
email client, the connection is closed.
To add the POP3 proxy to your Firebox configuration, see “Adding a Proxy to your Firebox Configuration” on page 211. Then, if you choose, modify the rulesets for the proxy, as described in subsequent
sections.
POP3 proxy: General settings
On the General Settings page (the page that first appears after you click the View/Edit Proxy icon), you
can adjust time out and line length limits as well as other general parameters for the POP3 proxy:
1
If you are not already on this page, from the Categories section, select General Settings.
2
Change any of these settings to meet your business needs:
Set the timeout to
Use this setting to limit the number of minutes that the email client tries to open a connection to
the email server before the connection is closed. This prevents the proxy from using too many
network resources when the POP3 server is slow or cannot be reached.
222
WatchGuard System Manager
POP3 Proxy
Set the maximum email line length to
Use this setting to prevent some types of buffer overflow attacks. Very long line lengths can
cause buffer overflows on some email systems. Most email clients and systems send relatively
short lines, but some web-based email systems send very long lines. However, it is unlikely that
you will need to change this setting unless it prevents access to legitimate mail.
Hide server replies
Select this check box if you want to replace the POP3 greeting strings in email messages. These
strings can be used by hackers to identify the POP3 server vendor and version.
Allow uuencoded attachments
Select this check box if you want the POP3 proxy to allow uuencoded attachments to email
messages. Uuencode is an older program used to send binary files in ASCII text format over the
Internet. UUencoded attachments can be security risks because they appear as ASCII text files
but can actually contain executable files.
Allow BinHex attachments
Select this check box if you want the POP3 proxy to allow BinHex attachments to email
messages. BinHex, which is short for binary-to-hexadecimal, is a utility that converts a file from
binary format to ASCII.
Turn on logging for Historical Reports
Select this check box if you want the POP3 proxy to send a log message for each connection
request through POP3. If you want to use Historical Reports to create reports on POP3 traffic, you
must select this check box.

POP3 proxy: Content types
The headers for email messages include a Content Type header to show the MIME type of the email
and of any attachments. The content type or MIME type tells the computer the types of media the message contains. Certain kinds of content embedded in email can be a security threat to your network.
Other kinds of content can decrease the productivity of your users.
If the default ruleset does not meet all of your business needs, you can add, delete, or modify rules. On
the Content Types page, you can set values for content filtering and the action to take for content
types that do not match the criteria. For the POP3-server proxy action, you set values for incoming content filtering. For the POP3-client action, you set values for outgoing content filtering.
224
1
From the Categories section, select Content Types.
2
Select the Enable content type auto detection check box for the POP3 proxy to examine
content to determine content type. Otherwise, the POP3 proxy uses the value stated in the email
header, which clients sometimes set incorrectly.
As an example, an attached .pdf file might have a content type stated as application/octetstream. If you enable content type auto detection, the POP3 proxy recognizes the .pdf file and
uses the actual content type, application/pdf. If the proxy does not recognize the content type
after it examines the content, it uses the value stated in the email header, as it would if content
type auto detection were not enabled.
Because hackers often try to disguise executables files as other content types, we recommend
that you enable content type auto detection to make your installation more secure.

FTP Proxy
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to send files from one computer to a different computer over a TCP/
IP network. The FTP client is usually a computer. The FTP server can be a resource that keeps files on
the same network or on a different network. The FTP client can be in one of two modes for data transfer: active or passive. In active mode, the server starts a connection to the client on source port 20. In
passive mode, the client uses a previously negotiated port to connect to the server. The Fireware FTP
proxy monitors and scans these FTP connections between your users and FTP servers they connect to.
To add the FTP proxy to your Firebox configuration, see “Adding a Proxy to your Firebox Configuration”
on page 211. Then, if you choose, modify the rulesets for the proxy, as described in subsequent sections.

HTTP Proxy
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. The
HTTP client is usually a web browser. The HTTP server is a remote resource that keeps or creates HTML
files, images, and other content. When the HTTP client starts a request, it establishes a Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) connection on port 80. An HTTP server listens for requests on port 80. When it
receives the request from the client, the server replies with the requested file, an error message, or
some other information.
The HTTP proxy is a high performance content filter. It examines web traffic to identify suspicious content which can be a virus, spyware, or other type of intrusion. It can also protect your web server from
attacks from the external network.
To add the HTTP proxy to your Firebox configuration, see “Adding a Proxy to your Firebox Configuration” on page 211. Then, if you choose, modify the rulesets for the proxy, as described in subsequent

the HTTP proxy closes the connection. In the adjacent field, enter the number of minutes before
the proxy times out.
Set the maximum URL path length to
Select to set a maximum length for the path component of a URL. This does not include the
“http:\\” or host name. Control of the URL length can help to prevent buffer overflow attacks. In
the adjacent field, enter the number of bytes for the maximum URL length.
Allow range requests through unmodified
Select to allow range requests through the Firebox. Range requests allow a client to request
subsets of the bytes in a web resource instead of the full content. For example, if you want only
some sections of a large Adobe file but not the whole file, the download occurs more quickly and
prevents the download of unnecessary pages if you can request only what you need.
However, range requests can be a risk for your network. If you allow range requests through the
Firebox and download a file infected with a virus whose signature is divided between two pages,
antivirus software will not detect the virus.

HTTP requests: Request methods
Most browser HTTP requests are in one of two categories: GET and POST operations. Browsers usually
use GET operations to download objects such as a graphic, HTML data, or Flash data. More than one
GET is usually sent by a client computer for each page, because web pages usually contain many different elements. The elements are put together to make a page that appears as one page to the end user.
Browsers usually use POST operations to send data to a web site. Many web pages get information
from the end user such as location, email address, and name. If you disable the POST command, the
Firebox denies all POST operations to web servers on the external network. This feature can prevent
your users from sending information to a web site on the external network.
If webDAV extensions (described below) are not enabled, the HTTP proxy supports request methods:
HEAD, GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, and DELETE. For HTTP-Server, the proxy supports these request methods by default: HEAD, GET, and POST. OPTIONS, PUT, and DELETE are added but are disabled by default.

HTTP requests: URL paths
You use URL path rules to filter the content of the host, path, and query-string components of a URL. If

are examples of how to block content using HTTP request URL paths:
•
To block all pages that have the host name www.test.com, type the pattern:
www.test.com*
•
To block all paths containing the word “sex”, on all web sites: *sex*
•
To block URL paths ending in “*.test”, on all web sites: *.test
Usually, if you filter URLs with the HTTP request URL path ruleset, you must configure a complex pattern
that uses full regular expression syntax from the advanced view of a ruleset. It is easier and gives better
results to filter based on header or body content type than it is to filter by URL path.

HTTP requests: Header fields
This ruleset supplies content filtering for the full HTTP header. By default, the HTTP proxy uses exact
matching rules to strip Via and From headers, and allows all other headers. This ruleset matches against
the full header, not only the name. Thus, to match all values of a header, type the pattern: “[header
name]:*”. To match only some values of a header, replace the asterisk (*) wildcard with a pattern. If your
pattern does not start with an asterisk (*) wildcard, include one space between the colon and the pattern when typing in the Pattern text box. For example, type: [header name]: [pattern] and not [header
name]:[pattern].
Note that the default rules do not strip the Referer header, but do include a disabled rule to strip this
header. To enable the rule, select Change View. Some web browsers and software applications must
use the Referer header to operate correctly.

HTTP requests: Authorization
This rule sets the criteria for content filtering of HTTP Request Header authorization fields. When a web
server starts a “WWW-Authenticate” challenge, it sends information about which authentication methods it can use. The proxy puts limits on the type of authentication sent in a request. It uses only the
authentication methods that the web server accepts. With a default configuration, the Firebox allows
Basic, Digest, NTLM, and Passport1.4 authentication, and strips all other authentication. If the default

HTTP responses: Content types
When a web server sends HTTP traffic, it usually adds a MIME type to the response. The HTTP header on
the data stream contains this MIME type. It is added before the data is sent.
This ruleset sets rules for the content type (MIME type) allowed in HTTP response headers. By default
the Firebox allows some safe content types, and denies MIME content that has no specified content
type. Some web servers supply incorrect MIME types to get around content rules. If the default ruleset

HTTP responses: Cookies
HTTP cookies are small files of alphanumeric text put by web servers on web clients. Cookies monitor
the page a web client is on to enable the web server to send more pages in the correct sequence. Web
servers also use cookies to collect information about an end user. Many web sites use cookies for
authentication and other legitimate functions and cannot operate correctly without cookies.
This ruleset gives you control of the cookies in HTTP responses. You can configure rules to strip cookies,
based on your network requirements. The default rule for the HTTP-Server and HTTP-Client proxy
action allows all cookies. If the default ruleset does not meet all of your business needs, you can add,
delete, or modify rules.
The Cookies ruleset looks for packets based on the domain associated with the cookie. The domain can
be specified in the cookie. If there is no domain in the cookie, the proxy uses the host name in the first
request. Thus, to block all cookies for nosy-adware-site.com, add a rule with the pattern: “*.nosyadware-site.com”.

Working with Rules and Rulesets
A rule includes a type of content, pattern, or expression to which the proxy compares traffic, and the
action the Firebox® does when a component of the packet’s content matches those criteria. A ruleset is
a group of rules based on one feature of a proxy such as the content types or filenames of email attachments. For basic information on rules and rulesets, see “About rules and rulesets” on page 210.
When you configure a proxy, you can see the rulesets for that proxy in the Categories list. The rulesets
you see change when you change the proxy action on the Properties tab of a proxy configuration window. For example, the rules for the FTP-Client action have different settings than the rules for the FTPServer action.
WatchGuard proxies have predefined rulesets that provide a good balance of security and accessibility
for most installations. If a default ruleset does not meet all of your business needs, you can add, delete,
or modify rules.
Simple and advanced views
You can see rules in two ways. The simple view is shown below. You use this view to configure wildcard
pattern matching with simple regular expressions.

possible actions. Different ones appear for different proxies or for different features of a
particular proxy. For example, the actions Strip and Lock apply only to signature-based intrusion
prevention actions. The AV Scan action applies to all proxies except DNS.
Allow
Allows the connection.
Deny
Denies a specific request but keeps the connection if possible. Sends a response to the sender.
Drop
Denies the specific request and drops the connection. Does not send a response to the sender.
Quarantine
Sends the email message to the Quarantine Server. (For more information, see the “Quarantine
Server” chapter. Consider this option as an alternative to Lock, below. Applies only to the SMTP
proxy used with spamBlocker.
Block
Denies the request, drops the connection, and adds the source host to the Blocked Sites list. For
more information on blocked sites, see “Setting Blocked Sites” on page 176.
Strip
Removes an attachment from a packet and discards it. The other parts of the packet are sent
through the Firebox to its destination.

and paste it into the Deny Message box for the SMTP proxy.
When you copy between proxy definitions, you must make sure the field you copy is compatible with
the proxy you paste it into.
Changing the order of rules
The order that rules are shown in the Rules list is the same as the order in which traffic is compared to
the rules. The proxy compares traffic to the first rule in the list and continues in sequence from top to
bottom. When traffic matches a rule, the Firebox performs the related action. It performs no other
actions, even if the traffic matches a rule later in the list.
To change the sequence of rules, you must use the advanced view:

2
Select the rule whose order you want to change. Click the Up or Down button to move the rule
up or down in the list.
Modifying the default rule
If traffic does not match any of the rules you have defined for a proxy category, the Firebox uses the
default rule. This rule appears at the bottom of any list of rules when you use the advanced view.
To modify the default rule:
1
Select it and click Edit.
The Edit Default Rule dialog box appears.
2
You can change the action for the default rule, and whether the action triggers an alarm or a log
message. You cannot change the name “Default” or the order of the rule. It must be the last rule
in the list.

Click OK.
Import and Export Functions for Proxies
WatchGuard proxies support several import and export functions. You can import and export policy
actions and rulesets.
User Guide
255
Import and Export Functions for Proxies
Importing and exporting user-defined proxy actions
If you manage several Fireboxes and have user-defined proxy actions for them, you can use the policy
action import/export function to save time. You can define custom proxy actions on one Firebox,
export them to an ASCII file, and then import them to another Firebox.
The Firebox for which you created the policies must run the same version of WSM as the version of Policy Manager you use to import the proxy actions. You cannot import a proxy action from an old version
into the current version.
1
On the first Firebox, create the user-defined proxy actions that you need.
2
From the Proxy Actions dialog box, click Export.
You do not need to select the user-defined actions. The Export function automatically exports all
custom actions regardless of which proxy action is actually selected.
3
In the Save dialog box, select where you want to save the proxy actions file. Type a name for the
file and click Save.
The default location is My Documents > My WatchGuard.
4
From Policy Manager on a different Firebox, from the Proxy Actions dialog box, click Import.
5
Find the file you created in step 3 and click Open.
6
If user-defined proxy actions are already defined in the current Policy Manager, you are asked
whether you want to replace the existing actions or append the imported actions to the existing
ones. Click Replace or Append.
If you click Replace, the existing user-defined proxy actions are deleted and replaced with the
new actions.
If you click Append, both the existing and the imported actions are listed in on the dialog box.
Importing and exporting rulesets
If you want to copy rulesets between or within proxies, you can define the rules once for one proxy or
category, export them to an XML file, and then import them to a new proxy or category. For example,
you can export the Content Types ruleset of an HTTP proxy action, and then import it to the Content
Types ruleset of an SMTP proxy action. Or, you can export the SMTP Mail From ruleset to the SMTP Mail
To ruleset.
You can copy rulesets only between proxies or categories within these four groups. Other combinations are not compatible.

Management Server Setup and
Administration
The WatchGuard® Management Server manages the VPN tunnels of a distributed enterprise from one
easy-to-use management interface. The Management Server also allows you to centrally manage multiple Firebox and Firebox® X Edge devices. After you complete the setup procedures in this chapter,
you can use the WatchGuard Management Server to configure and manage a Firebox device that is
connected to the Management Server. You can open the correct tools from the Management Server
device page to manage Firebox X Core, Firebox X Peak, Firebox III, Firebox X Edge, and SOHO 6 devices.
Installing the Management Server
You can install the Management Server on your management station during installation. Or, you can
use the same installation procedure to install the Management Server on another computer that uses
the Windows operating system. We recommend that you install the Management Server software on a
computer with a static IP address that is behind a Firebox with a static external IP address. Otherwise,
the Management Server may not operate correctly.
WatchGuard Management Server Passphrases
The WatchGuard® Management Server uses a number of passwords to protect sensitive information on
its hard disk and to secure data with client systems. After you install the WatchGuard Management
Server software, you must use the Management Server Setup Wizard to configure the Management
Server. This wizard prompts for these passphrases:
•
Master passphrase
•
Management Server passphrase
The Management Server passphrase and other automatically created passphrases are kept in a passphrase file.
Master passphrase
The first passphrase that you set with the Setup Wizard is the master passphrase. This passphrase protects all passphrases in the passphrase file.
User Guide
273
WatchGuard Management Server Passphrases
The master passphrase is used to encrypt all other passphrases that are on the hard drive of the
Management Server. This prevents a person with access to the hard drive or its archived contents from
getting the passphrases and using them to get access to other sensitive data on the hard drive.
Select and secure the master passphrase carefully. Make sure that the master passphrase and the Management Server passphrase are not the same.
You use the master passphrase when you:
•
Migrate the Management Server data to a new system
•
Restore a lost or corrupt master key file
•
Change the master passphrase
The master passphrase is not used frequently. We recommend that you write it down and lock it in a
secure location.
Management Server passphrase
The second passphrase that the Setup Wizard prompts for is the Management Server passphrase. This
passphrase is used frequently by the administrator. You use this passphrase to connect to the Management Server and the Quarantine Server in WatchGuard System Manager.
Password and key files
The Management Server passphrase and all the automatically created passphrases are kept in a passphrase file. The passphrase data in this file is protected by the master passphrase. The master passphrase is not kept on the hard drive. An encryption key is created from the master passphrase.
The default locations for the password file and encryption key are:
•
C:\Documents and Settings\WatchGuard\wgauth\wgauth.ini
•
C:\Documents and Settings\WatchGuard\wgauth\wgauth.key
Note that these files are used by the Management Server software and must not be modified directly
by an administrator.
Microsoft SysKey utility
The password file is protected by the master key. This key is protected by an encryption key, which is
protected by the Windows system key.
Windows operating systems use a system key to protect the Security Accounts Management (SAM)
database. This is a database of the Windows accounts and passwords on the computer. By default, the
system key data is hidden in the registry. The system is protected, and the system key is created from
the registry during the startup procedure. If you want a more secure system, you can remove the system key data from the registry so that this sensitive data is not on the system at all.
You can use the SysKey utility to:
•
Move the system key to a floppy disk
•
Make the administrator type a password at start time
•
Move the system key from the floppy disk to the system
If you move the startup key to a floppy disk, then that disk must be inserted in the drive for the system
to start. If you make the administrator type a startup password, the administrator must type in the
password each time the system starts.
To configure SysKey options, click Start > Run, type syskey, and click OK.

Type the external IP address and passphrases for your gateway Firebox. The gateway Firebox
protects the Management Server from the Internet. When you add an IP address, the wizard does
three things:
- The wizard uses this IP address to configure the gateway Firebox to allow connections to the
Management Server. If you do not type an IP address here, you must configure any firewall
between the Management Server and the Internet to allow connections to the Management
Server on TCP ports 4110, 4112, and 4113.
- If you have an earlier version of WatchGuard System Manager, and have a Firebox configured
as a DVCP server, the wizard gets the DVCP server information from the gateway Firebox and
moves these settings to your Management Server. See the Migration Guide for more
information.
- The wizard sets the IP address for the Certificate Revocation List (CRL). The devices you add as
managed clients use this IP address to connect to the Management Server. This IP address
must be the public IP address your Management Server shows to the Internet. If you do not
type an IP address here, the wizard uses the current IP address on your Management Server
computer for the CRL IP address. If this is not the IP address your computer shows to the
Internet because it is behind a device that does network address translation (NAT), you must
edit the CRL and type the public IP address your Management Server uses. For more
information, see “Changing the Management Server Configuration” on page 276.

Using Aliases
Aliases are used with managed Firebox® X Edge devices to define a common destination for policy configuration on the Management Server. For example, with aliases, you can create an Edge Configuration
Template for a mail server, and define that policy to operate with your mail server. Because the mail
server can have a different IP address on each Firebox X Edge network, you create an alias on the Management Server called MailServer. When you create the Edge Configuration Template for the mail
server, you use this alias as the destination. Then you define that alias as either the source or destination, depending on the direction of the policy. In this example you can configure an incoming SMTP
Allow policy with MailServer as the destination.
To make the Edge Configuration Template operate correctly on Edge devices that use the policy, you
configure the MailServer alias in the Network Settings for each Firebox X Edge device.
Alias configuration is done in two steps:

Managed BOVPN Tunnels
WatchGuard® System Manager supplies speed and reliability when you create IPSec VPN tunnels
through the drag-and-drop procedure, an automatic wizard, and the use of templates. You can make in
minutes IPSec tunnels that use authentication and encryption. You can be sure that these tunnels operate with other tunnels and security policies. These tunnels are called managed BOVPN tunnels. Another
type of tunnel is a manual BOVPN tunnel, which is a BOVPN tunnel that you use dialog boxes to define.
Like manual tunnels, managed tunnels are shown in the Device Status tab for each Firebox®.
About Managed BOVPN Tunnels
You perform the following steps to create a managed BOVPN tunnel:
•
Configure a WatchGuard® Management Server and Certificate Authority (CA) (described in the
“Certificates and the Certificate Authority” chapter).
•
Add Fireboxes or Firebox® X Edge devices to the Management Server, as described in “Adding
Devices” on page 291.
•
(Dynamic devices only) Configure the Firebox as a managed client.
•
If necessary, create VPN Resources, Policy Templates, and Security Templates. Or, you can use
those that are currently defined.
•
Create tunnels between the devices, as described in “Making Tunnels Between Devices” on
page 325.
VPN Failover
VPN Failover, described in “About VPN Failover” on page 344, is supported with managed BOVPN tunnels. If you have multi-WAN configured, and create managed tunnels, WSM automatically sets up gateway pairs that include the external interfaces of both ends of your tunnel. No other configuration is
necessary.
Global VPN settings
Global VPN settings on your Firebox apply to all manual BOVPN tunnels, managed tunnels, and MUVPN
tunnels. You can use these settings to:
User Guide
319
VPN Resources and Templates
•
Enable IPSec pass-through.
•
Clear or maintain the settings of packets with Type of Service (TOS) bits set.
•
Use an LDAP server to verify certificates.
To change these settings, from Policy Manager, select VPN > VPN Settings. For more information on
these settings, see “Using Global VPN Settings” on page 81.
VPN Resources and Templates
You can use the following to simplify tunnel creation, especially if you need to create large numbers of
tunnels:
VPN Resources
The networks that can connect through VPN tunnels. If a VPN endpoint device has a static IP
address, the Management Server automatically creates a default VPN resource for the device that
includes all trusted networks. If the trusted network behind the device has many routed or
secondary networks configured, consider adding your own VPN resource, as described below in
“Adding VPN Resources”.
VPN Firewall Policy Templates
Sets of one or more bidirectional firewall policies that restrict the type the traffic allowed across a
VPN. If you do not select a Policy Template for a tunnel, the default “Any” policy applies to the
tunnel.
Security Templates
Sets of encryption types, authentication types, and renegotiation lifetimes to be applied to VPNs.
WSM includes default Security Templates, but you can modify them or create new ones.
Later sections in this chapter describe how to create and use these objects.
Configuring a Firebox as a Managed Firebox Client
To allow WatchGuard® System Manager to manage a Firebox® or Edge, or SOHO with a dynamic IP
address, you must enable it as a managed Firebox client. For instructions on how to enable a Firebox as
a managed client, see the “Device Management Setup” chapter.
Adding VPN Resources
For a VPN, you can configure (and put a limit to) the networks that have access through the tunnel. You
can make a VPN between hosts or networks. To configure the networks that are available through a
given VPN device, you define VPN resources.
320

Adding VPN Resources
Getting the current resources from a device
Before you add more VPN resources, get the current resources from the device. This is most important
for dynamic devices because the Firebox® automatically adds a network resource for static devices.
Before you update a device, make sure that it is configured as a managed Firebox client.

Encrypt traffic to and from this resource. This is the most commonly used option.
bypass
Sends the traffic in cleartext. You might use this option if one Firebox is in drop-in mode and the
tunnel routes traffic to the drop-in network. In this case, the drop-in IP address must be bypassed
but not blocked or the tunnel cannot negotiate.
block
Do not allow the traffic through the VPN. You might use this option to exclude one or more IP
addresses from using a VPN that allows a full subnet, but only when given a higher precedence
than the full subnet.
If you want to create a VPN resource for a Firebox X Edge, the Disposition field does not appear

Adding VPN Firewall Policy Templates
You use VPN Firewall Policy templates to create a set of one or more bidirectional firewall policies that
restrict the type the traffic allowed across a VPN. Note that Policy Templates do not support proxy policies.
If you use the default “Any” VPN firewall policy, a log message is generated for all traffic through the
managed VPN tunnel. If you want to control what traffic is recorded in the logs, you must create your
own VPN firewall policy template and use the Enable logging for this traffic check box. You cannot
turn off logging for the default “Any” VPN firewall policy or change it in any way.

“Configuring mode and transforms (Phase 1 settings)” on page 334 and “Configuring Phase 2 settings”
on page 339.
Default Security Templates are supplied for the available encryption types. You can use these settings

Manual BOVPN Tunnels
Branch Office Virtual Private Networking (BOVPN) enables businesses to deliver secure, encrypted connectivity between geographically separated offices. These communications often contain the types of
critical data exchanged inside the corporate firewall. In this scenario, a BOVPN ensures confidential
connections between these offices, streamlining communication, reducing the cost of dedicated lines,
and retaining security at each end. Manual BOVPN tunnel refers to a BOVPN tunnel that you use dialog
boxes to define. The other type of VPN tunnel is a managed BOVPN tunnel, which you create with a
drag-and-drop procedure, an automatic wizard, and the use of templates.
About Manual VPN Tunnels
The basic procedure for creating a manual tunnel involves configuring gateway endpoints—connection points on both the local and remote sides of the tunnel—configuring routes for the tunnel, specifying how the devices control security, and making a policy for the tunnel. Note that the two ends of
the tunnel must use the same encryption and authentication method.
VPN and failover
VPN tunnels automatically fail over to the backup WAN interface during a WAN failover. You can configure BOVPN tunnels such that they fail over to a backup peer endpoint. In the event of a dead peer,
the tunnel can fail over to a backup endpoint.
You can also use the VPN Failover feature as described in “About VPN Failover” on page 344.
Global VPN settings
Global VPN settings on your Firebox® apply to all manual BOVPN tunnels, managed tunnels, and
MUVPN tunnels. You can use these settings to:
•
Enable IPSec pass-through.
•
Clear or maintain the settings of packets with Type of Service (TOS) bits set.
•
Use an LDAP server to verify certificates.
User Guide
329
Configuring Gateways
To change these settings, from Policy Manager, select VPN > VPN Settings. For more information on
these settings, see “Using Global VPN Settings” on page 81.
Configuring Gateways
A gateway is a connection point for one or more tunnels. To create a tunnel, you must set up gateways
on both the local and remote devices. To configure these gateways, you specify:
•
Credential method—either pre-shared keys or an IPSec Firebox certificate.
•
Location of local and remote gateway endpoints, either by IP address or domain information.
•
Settings for Phase 1 of the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) negotiation. This phase defines the
security association—protocols and settings that the gateway endpoints will use to
communicate—to protect data that is passed during the negotiation.

From the New Gateway dialog box, select either Use Pre-Shared Key or Use IPSec Firebox
Certificate to identify the authentication procedure to use.
If you selected Pre-Shared Key
Type the shared key. You must use the same shared key on the remote device. This shared key must use
only standard ASCII characters.
If you selected Use IPSec Firebox Certificate
From the table below the radio button, select the certificate to be used for the gateway.
Certificates for the devices at each gateway endpoint must use the same algorithm. Either both must
use DSS or both must use RSA.
You must start the Certificate Authority if you select certificate-based authentication. For information on
this, see the “Certificates and the Certificate Authority” chapter in this manual. Also, if you use certificates
you must use the WatchGuard® Log Server for log messages. We do not support third-party certificates.

Configuring mode and transforms (Phase 1 settings)
Phase 1 of establishing an IPSec connection is where the two peers make a secure, authenticated channel they can use to communicate. This is known as the ISAKMP Security Association (SA).
A Phase 1 exchange can use either Main Mode or Aggressive Mode. The mode determines the type and
number of message exchanges that take place during this phase.
A transform is a set of security protocols and algorithms to protect data. During IKE negotiation, the
peers make an agreement to use a certain transform.
You can define a tunnel such that it offers a peer more than one transform for negotiation, as described
in “Adding a Phase 1 transform” on page 335.
334
1
On the New Gateway dialog box, select the Phase1 Settings tab.
2
From the Mode drop-down list, select Main, Aggressive, or Main fallback to Aggressive.
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring Gateways
Main Mode
More secure; Uses three separate message exchanges (total of six messages). The first two
negotiate policy; the next two exchange Diffie-Hellman data, and the last two authenticate the
Diffie-Hellman exchange. Main Mode supports Diffie-Hellman groups 1, 2, and 5. This mode also
enables you to use multiple transforms, as described in “Adding a Phase 1 transform” on
page 335.
Aggressive Mode
Quicker because it uses only three messages, which exchange Diffie-Hellman data and identify
the two VPN endpoints. The latter makes Aggressive Mode less secure.
Main fallback to aggressive
The Firebox attempts Phase 1 exchange with Main Mode. If the negotiation fails, it uses
Aggressive Mode.
3
If you want to build a BOVPN tunnel between the Firebox and another device that is behind a
NAT device, select the NAT Traversal check box. NAT Traversal, or UDP Encapsulation, allows
traffic to get to the correct destinations. To set the Keep-alive interval, type the number of
seconds or use the value control to select the number of seconds you want.

5
To set the maximum number of times the Firebox tries to send an IKE keep-alive message before
it tries to negotiate Phase 1 again, type the number you want in the Max failures box.
6
The Firebox contains one default transform set, which appears in the Transform Settings list.
This transform specifies SHA1 authentication, 3DES encryption, and the Diffie-Hellman group 1.
You can either:
- Use this default setting.
- Remove it and replace it with a new one.
- Add an additional setting, as explained in the next section.
Adding a Phase 1 transform
You can define a tunnel such that it offers a peer more than one transform for negotiation. For
example, one transform might bundle SHA1-DES-DF1
([authentication method]-[encryption method]-[key group]) and a second transform might
consist of MD5-3DES-DF2, with the SHA1-DES-DF1 transform having a higher priority than MD53DES-DF2. When traffic passes through the tunnel, the security association can use either SHA1DES-DF1 (first priority) or MD5-3DES-DF2 (second priority) depending on which of the
transforms match the peer’s transform.

Configuring Phase 2 settings
Phase 2 settings include settings for a security association (SA), which defines how data packets are
secured when they are passed between two endpoints. The SA keeps all information necessary for the
Firebox to know what it should do with the traffic between the endpoints. Parameters in the SA can
include:
•
Encryption and authentication algorithms used.
•
Lifetime of the SA (in seconds or number of bytes, or both).
•
IP address of the device for which the SA is established (the device that handles IPSec encryption
and decryption on the other side of the VPN, not the computer behind it that sends or receives
traffic).
•
Source and destination IP addresses of traffic to which the SA applies.
•
Direction of traffic to which the SA applies (there is one SA for each direction of traffic, incoming
and outgoing).
1
From the New Tunnel dialog box, select the Phase2 Settings tab.

Perfect Forward Secrecy gives more protection to keys that are created in a session. Keys made
with PFS are not made from a previous key. If a previous key is compromised after a session, your
new session keys are secure. Diffie-Hellman Group 1 uses a 768-bit group to create the new key
exchange, Diffie-Hellman Group 2 uses a 1024-bit group, and Diffie-Hellman Group 5 uses a
1536-bit group.

339
Making Tunnels between Gateway Endpoints
- Use this default proposal.
- Remove it and replace it with a new one.
- Add an additional proposal, as explained in “Adding a Phase 2 proposal” on page 341.
If you plan to use the IPSec pass-through feature, you must use a proposal that specifies ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) as the proposal method. IPSec pass-through supports ESP but not AH. For
more information on IPSec pass-through, see “Using Global VPN Settings” on page 81.
Using advanced Security Association (SA) settings
1
From the Phase2 Settings tab of the New Tunnel dialog box, click Settings.
The Advanced SA Settings dialog box appears.
2
Define addressing and service usage for the SA:
Create one SA that includes all tunnel routes
This check box controls whether or not a unique SA is created for each Local/Remote address
pair in your VPN tunnel definition. We recommend you keep this check box cleared. Most IPSec
devices create an SA for each Local/Remote address pair. This is compliant with the RFC and
increases Firebox interoperability with other vendors’ IPSec devices, but can affect your BOVPN
license count as each SA is equal to one BOVPN tunnel.
Select this check box only if you know that the other VPN endpoint can put all Local/Remote
address pairs into one SA.
If you want to use Any as the source address, destination address, or both, select
Use Any for source address in selector or Use Any for destination address in selector.
Create one SA that includes all ports and protocols
This check box specifies, when selected, that all ports/protocols will use the same SA. If you clear
this check box, one SA will be created for each unique port/protocol pair. We recommend you
keep this check box selected because many IPSec devices cannot make an SA that includes port
and protocol information. This is compliant with the RFC and increases Firebox interoperability
with other vendors’ IPSec devices.
You can still filter the traffic that the Firebox allows to go through the VPN tunnel with the
firewall policies on your Firebox. The Firebox sends traffic to the IPSec module only if there is a
firewall policy to allow the traffic. Even if an SA is for all ports and protocols, your firewall policies
control what is allowed in and out of your network.
Clear this check box only if you know that the other VPN endpoint can make an SA that can

WatchGuard System Manager
Making Tunnels between Gateway Endpoints
select traffic by port or protocol. If you do this, you must control what port is used by each SA in
your firewall policies.
Adding a Phase 2 proposal
You can define a tunnel such that it offers a peer more than one proposal for Phase 2 of the IKE.
For example, you might specify ESP-3DES-SHA1 in one proposal, and ESP-DES-MD5 for second
proposal. When traffic passes through the tunnel, the security association can use either ESP3DES-SHA1 (first priority) or ESP-DES-MD5 (second priority) depending on which of the
proposals match the peer's transform.
You can include a maximum of nine proposals.

We recommend that you use ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). The differences between ESP
and AH (Authentication Header) are:
User Guide
341
Making Tunnels between Gateway Endpoints
- ESP is authentication with encryption. AH is authentication only.
- ESP authentication does not include the protection of the IP header, while AH does.
- IPSec pass-through supports ESP but not AH. If you plan to use the IPSec pass-though feature,
you must specify ESP as the proposal method. For more information on IPSec pass-through,
see “Using Global VPN Settings” on page 81.
3
From the Authentication drop-down list, select SHA1, MD5, or None for the authentication
method.
4
(If you selected ESP from the Type drop-down list) From the Encryption drop-down list, select
the encryption method.
The options are DES, 3DES, and AES 128, 192, or 256 bit, which appear in the list from the most
simple and least secure to most complex and most secure.
5
To make the gateway endpoints generate and exchange new keys after a quantity of time or
amount of traffic passes, select the Force Key Expiration check box. In the fields below, enter a
quantity of time and a number of bytes after which the key expires.
If Force Key Expiration is disabled, or if it is enabled and both the time and kBytes are set to
zero, the Firebox tries to use the key expiration time set for the peer. If this is also disabled or
zero, the Firebox uses a key expiration time of 8 hours.
You can set the time up to one year.
6
Click OK.
Editing or cloning a proposal
To “clone” a proposal is to copy an existing proposal to a new name and make changes. You must do
this if you want to edit a predefined proposal because you can edit only user-defined proposals.

Changing order of tunnels
Order of tunnels is particularly important when more than one tunnel uses the same routes or when
the routes overlap. A tunnel higher in the list of tunnels on the Branch Office IPSec Tunnels dialog
box takes precedence over a tunnel below it when traffic matches tunnel routes of multiple tunnels.
You can change the order in which the Firebox attempts connections:

Making a Tunnel Policy
2
Select a tunnel and click Move Up or Move Down to move it up or down in the list.
Making a Tunnel Policy
Tunnel policies are sets of rules that apply to tunnel connections.
By default, a new VPN tunnel is automatically added to the BOVPN-Allow.in and BOVPN-Allow.out policies, which allow all traffic to use the tunnel. You can configure the tunnel such that it is not added to
this policy (as explained at the end of “Configuring routes for the tunnel” on page 337) and then create
a custom VPN policy to allow specified policy types. You can also keep the default setting of adding the
tunnel to BOVPN-Allow.in and BOVPN-Allow.out and then add other policies for other types of traffic,
such as HTTP proxy.
1
From Policy Manager, select VPN > Create BOVPN Policy.
The BOVPN Policy wizard starts.
2
Click through the wizard and add the information it asks for. The wizard has these screens:
Choose a name for the policies
The name is prepended to “.in” and “.out” to create the firewall policy names for incoming and outgoing tunnels, respectively. For example, if you use “williams” as the name base, the wizard creates the
policies “williams.in” and “williams.out.”
Select the policy type
Specify the traffic type allowed to pass through the BOVPN tunnel.
Select the BOVPN tunnels
Specify the tunnels to which the policy will apply.
Create an alias for the tunnels
(Optional) As with the policy name, the name you specify is prepended to “.in” and “.out” to create the
alias names for incoming and outgoing tunnels, respectively. You can use these aliases in other policies
as well.
You should consider creating an alias when you create policies for many BOVPN tunnels. Include those
tunnels in the alias. You can then modify the alias as you add or remove tunnels instead of regenerating the policy.
The BOVPN Policy Wizard has completed successfully
The final screen tells you which policies and aliases were created by the wizard.
Setting up Outgoing Dynamic NAT through a BOVPN
Tunnel
You can use dynamic NAT through BOVPN tunnels. Dynamic NAT acts as unidirectional NAT, and keeps
the VPN tunnel open in one direction only. This can be helpful when you make a BOVPN to a remote

About VPN Failover
business partner wants to allow you access, but only from a single IP address so they can monitor the
connection.
You must have the external IP address and the trusted network address of each VPN endpoint to do
this procedure. If you enable dynamic NAT though a BOVPN tunnel, you cannot use the VPN Failover
feature for that VPN tunnel.
1
From Policy Manager at your site, select VPN > Branch Office Tunnels. Select Add to add a new
BOVPN tunnel.
2
Give the BOVPN tunnel a name.
3
Select the New Gateway icon (button at the far right of the Gateway field).
The New Gateway dialog box appears.

Click OK. Save these changes to the Firebox®.
8
From Policy Manager at the remote site, select VPN > Branch Office Tunnels. Select Add to add
a new BOVPN tunnel.
9
Do steps 2 – 7 at the remote site, but do not select the DNAT check box.
When the Firebox at the remote site restarts, the two Firebox devices negotiate a VPN tunnel. Your
Firebox applies dynamic NAT to all traffic destined for the trusted network of the remote site. When
this traffic reaches the remote site, it arrives as traffic that originated on your external interface.
About VPN Failover
When you have multi-WAN failover configured, VPN tunnels automatically fail over to a backup external interface if a failure occurs. You can also configure VPN tunnels to fail over to a backup endpoint if
the primary endpoint becomes unavailable.
VPN Failover occurs when one of these two events occur:
•
A physical link is down. The Firebox® monitors the status of the VPN gateway and the devices
identified in the multi-WAN link monitor configuration. If the physical link is down, VPN failover
occurs.
•
The Firebox detects the VPN peer is not active.
When failover occurs, IKE continues to send Phase 1 keep-alive packets to the peer. When it gets a
response, IKE triggers failback to the primary VPN gateway.
When a failover event occurs, most new and existing connections failover automatically. For example,
if you start an FTP “PUT” command and the primary VPN path goes down, the existing FTP connection
continues on the backup VPN path. The connection is not lost, but there is some delay. Note that VPN
Failover can occur only if:
344
•
Fireboxes at each tunnel endpoint have Fireware v9.1 installed.
•
Multi-WAN failover is configured, as described in the chapter “Network Configuration with
Multiple External Interfaces.”
WatchGuard System Manager
About VPN Failover
The interfaces of your Firebox are listed as gateway pairs on the remote Firebox. If you have
already configured multi-WAN failover, your VPN tunnels will automatically fail over to the
backup interface.
•
VPN Failover does not occur for branch office VPN tunnels with dynamic NAT enabled as part of their
tunnel configuration. For non-NAT BOVPN tunnels, VPN Failover occurs and the BOVPN session continues.
With MUVPN tunnels, the session does not continue. You must authenticate your MUVPN client again
to make a new MUVPN tunnel.
Configuring multiple gateway pairs
To configure VPN tunnels to fail over to a backup endpoint, you must configure more than one set of
local and remote endpoints (gateway pairs) for each gateway. For complete failover functionality for a
VPN configuration, you must define gateway pairs for each combination of external interfaces on each
side of the tunnel. For example, suppose your primary local endpoint is 205.122.1.1/24 with a backup
of 205.122.2.1/24. Your primary remote endpoint is 50.50.1.1/24 with a backup of 50.50.2.1/24. For
complete VPN Failover, you would need to define these four gateway pairs:
205.122.1.1 - 50.50.1.1
205.122.1.1 - 50.50.2.1
205.122.2.1 - 50.50.1.1
205.122.2.1 - 50.50.2.1

Certificates and the Certificate
Authority
When you use local authentication to connect to your Firebox® over secure HTTP, your session is
secured using a certificate. You can also use certificates for managed, branch office, or remote user VPN
authentication. Certificates are files that use a digital signature to match the identity of a person or
organization with an encryption key.
Certificates use a security component called a key pair, which consists of two mathematically related
numbers. The user keeps one number, the private key, secret. The user can supply the other number,
known as the public key, to other users. The private key has the ability to “unlock” data that was
encrypted using the public key.
To create a certificate, you place a private key in a certificate signing request (CSR) and send the CSR to
a certificate authority. A certificate authority (CA) is an organization or application that gives certificates to clients. In WatchGuard® System Manager, the workstation that is configured as the
Management Server also operates as a CA. The CA gives certificates to managed Firebox clients when
they contact the Management Server to receive configuration updates.
Each certificate has a lifetime set when it is created. When the end date and time set for the certificate
lifetime is reached, the certificate expires and can no longer be used. Sometimes, certificates are
revoked before their lifetime expiration. The Firebox keeps a current list of these revoked certificates,
called the Certificate Revocation List (CRL). The CRL is published to each Firebox when the Firebox connects to the Management Server.
Creating a New Certificate
If you have not prepared a certificate, you can create a certificate signing request (CSR) using
Firebox® System Manager. You can also create a new certificate for an MUVPN using the built-in Certificate Authority (CA) Manager on your Management Server.

Completing a Certificate Signing Request
Completing a Certificate Signing Request
Each certificate signing request (CSR) must be signed by a certificate authority (CA) before it can be
used for authentication. When you do this procedure yourself, you act as the CA and digitally sign your
own request. For compatibility reasons, however, we recommend that you instead send your CSR to a
widely known CA, such as Verisign or GeoTrust. Because the root certificates for these organizations are
installed by default with most major Internet browsers, you do not have to distribute the root certificates yourself.
You can use Windows Server 2003 to complete a CSR.

Using Certificates for Authentication
You can use certificates for:
•
Firebox® authentication (such as local or LDAP)
•
MUVPN and BOVPN tunnel authentication
Third-party or self-signed certificates can be used only for BOVPN and Firebox authentication.
When you perform any of these procedures, we recommend that you connect to the Firebox directly
so Policy Manager can download the list of currently installed certificates. If you save changes from a
local configuration file and the new settings do not match the certificates on the Firebox, your Firebox
may not operate correctly.
Firebox authentication
When users connect to the Firebox with a web browser, they often see a security warning. This warning
occurs because the default certificate does not match the IP address or domain name used for authentication. To remove this warning, you can use a third-party certificate, or create a custom certificate
that matches the IP or domain name.
To configure the web server certificate for Firebox authentication:
1
In Policy Manager, select Setup > Authentication > Web Server Certificate.
2
To use the default certificate, select the Default certificate signed by Firebox radio button.
Skip to step 7.
3
To use a certificate you have previously imported, select the Third-party certificate radio
button. Select a certificate from the drop-down list. Skip to step 7.

Mobile User VPN (MUVPN) tunnel authentication
When a Mobile User VPN tunnel is created, the IPSec protocol checks the identity of each endpoint
using a pre-shared key (PSK). This key can be a passphrase known by both endpoints, or a certificate
from the Management Server. The Firebox must be a managed client to use a certificate for MUVPN
authentication.

Remote User VPN with PPTP
Remote User Virtual Private Networking (RUVPN) uses Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) to
make a secure connection. It supports as many as 50 users at the same time for each Firebox®. RUVPN
users can authenticate to the Firebox or to a RADIUS authentication server. You must configure the
Firebox and the remote host computers of the remote user.
Configuration Checklist
Before you configure a Firebox® to use RUVPN, make sure you have this information:
•
The IP addresses for the remote client to use for RUVPN sessions. For RUVPN PPTP tunnels, the
Firebox gives each remote user a virtual IP address. These IP addresses cannot be addresses
that the network behind the Firebox uses. The safest procedure to give addresses for RUVPN
users is to install a “placeholder” secondary network with a range of IP addresses. Then, select an
IP address from that network range. For example, create a new subnet as a secondary network
on your trusted network 10.10.0.0/24. Select the IP addresses in this subnet for your range of
PPTP addresses.
•
The IP addresses of the DNS and WINS servers that resolve host names to IP addresses.
•
The user names and passphrases of users that are allowed to connect to the Firebox with RUVPN.
Encryption levels
For RUVPN with PPTP, you can select to use 128-bit encryption or 40-bit encryption. U.S. domestic versions of Windows XP have 128-bit encryption enabled. You can get a strong encryption patch from
Microsoft for other versions of Windows. The Firebox always tries to use 128-bit encryption first. It uses
40-bit encryption (if enabled) if the client cannot use the 128-bit encrypted connection.
For information on how to enable the drop from 128-bit to 40-bit, see “Preparing the Client Computers”
on page 367.
If you do not live in the U.S. and you want to have strong encryption allowed on your LiveSecurity™ Service account, send an email message to [email protected] and include in it:
•
Your LiveSecurity Service key number
•
Date of purchase

Configuring WINS and DNS Servers
•
Name of your company
•

If you live in the U.S. and are not already using WSM with strong encryption, you must download the
strong encryption software from your archive page in the LiveSecurity Service web site. Go to
www.watchguard.com, click Support, log in to your LiveSecurity Service account, and then click Latest
Software. Download WatchGuard® System Manager with strong encryption.
Then, uninstall WatchGuard System Manager, and install WatchGuard System Manager with strong
encryption software from the downloaded file.
To keep your current Firebox configuration, do not use the Quick Setup Wizard when you install the new
software. Open WatchGuard System Manager, connect to the Firebox, and save your configuration file.
Configurations with a different encryption version are compatible.
Configuring WINS and DNS Servers
RUVPN clients use shared Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and Domain Name System (DNS)
server addresses. DNS changes host names into IP addresses, while WINS changes NetBIOS names to IP
addresses. The trusted interface of the Firebox® must have access to these servers.
1
From Policy Manager, select Network > Configuration. Click the WINS/DNS tab.

Adding IP Addresses for RUVPN Sessions
Defining timeout settings for PPTP tunnels
You can define two timeout settings for PPTP tunnels:
Session Timeout
Maximum length of time the user can send traffic to the external network. If you set this field to
zero (0) seconds, minutes, hours, or days, no session timeout is used and the user can stay
connected for any length of time.
Idle Timeout
Maximum length of time the user can stay authenticated when idle (not passing any traffic to the
external network). If you set this field to zero (0) seconds, minutes, hours, or days, no idle timeout
is used and the user can stay idle for any length of time.
Adding IP Addresses for RUVPN Sessions
RUVPN with PPTP supports as many as 50 users at the same time. The Firebox® gives an open IP
address to each incoming RUVPN user from a group of available addresses. This goes on until all the
addresses are in use. After a user closes a session, the address is put back in the available group. The
subsequent user who logs in gets this address.
You must configure two or more IP addresses for PPTP to operate correctly.
From the PPTP tab on the Remote Users Configuration dialog box:
1
Click Add.
The Add Address dialog box appears.
2
From the Choose Type drop-down list, select Host IP (for a single IP address) or Host Range (for
a range of IP addresses).
You can configure 50 addresses. If you select Host IP, you must add at least two IP addresses. If
you select Host Range and add a range of IP addresses that is larger than 50 addresses, RUVPN
with PPTP uses the first 50 addresses in the range.
3
In the Value text box, type the host IP address. If you selected Host Range, type the first and last
IP address in the range. Click OK.
Type IP addresses that are not in use that the Firebox can give to clients during RUVPN with PPTP
sessions. The IP address appears in the list of addresses available to remote clients.

To create a PPTP VPN tunnel with the Firebox®, a remote user types their user name and password to
authenticate. WatchGuard® System Manager software uses this information to authenticate the user to
the Firebox.
When you enable PPTP in your Firebox configuration, a default user group is created automatically. This
user group is called pptp_users. You see this group name when you create a new user or add user
names to policies.
For more information on Firebox groups, see the “Authentication” chapter in this guide.

From Policy Manager, click Setup > Authentication Servers.
The Authentication Servers dialog box appears.
2
Click the Firebox tab.

The new user is put on the Users list. The Authentication Servers dialog box stays open so you can
add more users.
5
To close the Authentication Servers dialog box, click OK.
You can use the users and groups to configure policies. See the subsequent section.
Configuring policies to allow RUVPN traffic
RUVPN users have no access privileges through a Firebox. You must add user names or the full PPTPUsers group as sources and definitions in individual policy definitions to give remote users access to
specified network resources.
To use WebBlocker to control the access of remote users, add PPTP users or groups to a proxy policy
that controls WebBlocker, such as HTTP-proxy.
Preparing the Client Computers
You must first prepare each computer that you use as an RUVPN with PPTP remote host with Internet
access. Then, do these procedures using the instructions in the subsequent sections:
•
Install the necessary version of Microsoft Dial-Up Networking and the necessary service packs
•
Prepare the operating system for VPN connections
•
Install a VPN adapter (not necessary for all operating systems)
Installing MSDUN and service packs
It can be necessary to install these options for the correct configuration of RUVPN:
•
MSDUN (Microsoft Dial-Up Networking) upgrades
•
Other extensions
•
Service packs

Running RUVPN and Accessing the Internet
You can enable remote users to get access to the Internet through a RUVPN tunnel. But this option has
an effect on security, because Internet traffic is not filtered or encrypted.
This risky configuration is less vulnerable when all of the Internet traffic of the remote user goes through
a VPN tunnel to the Firebox®. From the Firebox, the traffic is then sent back out to the Internet (tunnel
switching). With this configuration the Firebox examines all traffic and gives better security.
When you use tunnel switching, a dynamic NAT policy must include the outgoing traffic from the
remote network. This allows the remote users to browse the Internet when they send all traffic to the
Firebox.
Split tunneling decreases security, but it does increase performance. If you use split tunneling, remote
users must have personal firewalls for computers behind the VPN endpoint.

interface. If you use WebBlocker to control remote user web access, add PPTP-Users to the policy
that controls WebBlocker (such as HTTP-proxy).
WatchGuard System Manager
Running RUVPN and Accessing the Internet
If you use the “route print” or “ipconfig” commands after you start a PPTP RUVPN tunnel on a computer
with Microsoft Windows installed, you see incorrect default gateway information. You will see correct
information if you look at the Details tab of the Virtual Private Connection Status dialog box.
Making outbound PPTP connections from behind a Firebox
If necessary, you can make a PPTP connection to a Firebox from behind a different Firebox. For example, a remote user goes to a customer office that has a Firebox. The user can make PPTP connections to
their network with PPTP. For the local Firebox to correctly allow the outgoing PPTP connection, add
the PPTP policy and allow PPTP to Any-External. For information on enabling policies, see the “Policies”
chapter of this guide.

WebBlocker
WebBlocker is an option for WatchGuard® Fireware® that gives you control over the web sites that are
available to your users. You can restrict access to offensive web sites or those that decrease employee
productivity.
WebBlocker uses a database of web site addresses controlled by SurfControl, a leading web filter company. When a user on your network tries to connect to a web site, the Firebox® examines the WebBlocker database. If the web site is not in the database or is not blocked, the page opens. If the web site
is in the WebBlocker database and is blocked, a notification appears and the web site is not displayed.
If you have not configured the HTTP proxy, it is automatically enabled when you configure the
WebBlocker service.
WebBlocker works with the HTTP proxy to filter web browsing. Because WebBlocker works with only this
proxy, you cannot use WebBlocker to stop access to web sites using HTTPS.
Installing the Feature Key
To install WebBlocker, you must have a WebBlocker license key and register it on the LiveSecurity® web
site. After you register the license key, LiveSecurity gives you a new feature key.
For information on working with feature keys, see “Working with Feature Keys” on page 61.
Getting Started with WebBlocker
You can install the WebBlocker Server on your WatchGuard® management station when you first do
the setup for WatchGuard System Manager. You can also install the WebBlocker Server software on a
different computer. To do this, use the same method as you used to install the WatchGuard System
Manager software, but select only the WebBlocker Server component.
Operating systems that are supported for the WebBlocker Server are Windows 2000, Windows 2003,
and Windows XP.
User Guide
373
Getting Started with WebBlocker
If you install one of the WSM Servers on a computer with a personal firewall other than the Microsoft
Windows firewall, you must open the ports for the servers to connect through the firewall. To allow
connections to the WebBlocker Server, open UDP port 5003. It is not necessary to change your
configuration if you use the Microsoft Windows firewall. See the “Getting Started” chapter for more information.
Before you configure WebBlocker, you must download the WebBlocker database.
1
Right-click the WebBlocker Server icon in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. (The
WebBlocker Server icon is the one on the right.)
2
Select Get Full Database.
The Download WebBlocker Database dialog box appears.
3
If you want to use a folder other than the default
C:\Documents and Settings\WatchGuard\wbserver\db as the destination folder for the
database, click Browse and select a new folder.
You cannot save the WebBlocker database to a root directory, such as c:\.
4
Select Download to download the new database.
The WebBlocker database has more than 140 MB of data. Your connection speed sets the download
speed, and the download can be more than 30 minutes. Make sure the hard disk drive has a minimum of
200 MB of free space.
You can use the WebBlocker utility at any time to:
•
Download a new version of the database
•
See the database status
•
Start or stop the server
To get an incremental update of the WebBlocker database, you must first stop the WebBlocker Server
service. To stop the service, right click the WebBlocker Server icon on the WatchGuard toolbar and
select Stop Service.
Automating WebBlocker database downloads
The best procedure to keep your WebBlocker database updated is to use Windows Task Scheduler. You

The Firebox attempts to reach the WebBlocker Server even when it is unavailable. If you allow
web traffic when the server is unavailable, each user who sends a web request must wait the
amount of time in the above field to try to connect to the WebBlocker Server and time out. After
this number of seconds, the Firebox allows access to the web site. When the Firebox can connect
to the WebBlocker Server again, it will starts to apply WebBlocker rules again.
Defining WebBlocker Exceptions
You can override a WebBlocker action with an exception. A web site normally denied by WebBlocker
can be defined as an exception to allow users to access it. For example, suppose employees in your
company frequently use web sites that contain medical information. Some of these web sites are forbidden by WebBlocker because they fall into the sex education category. To override WebBlocker, you
write an exception rule that specifies the web site’s IP address or its domain name. You can also write
exception rules to deny sites that WebBlocker normally allows.
Exception rules apply only to HTTP traffic. If you deny a site with an exception rule, the site is not automatically added to the Blocked Sites list.
User Guide
381
Defining WebBlocker Exceptions
Components of exception rules
Exception rules are based on IP addresses or a pattern based on IP addresses. You can have the Firebox
block a URL with an exact match. Usually, it is more convenient to have the Firebox look for URL patterns. The URL patterns do not include the leading "http://". To match a URL path on all web sites, the
pattern must have a trailing “/*”.
The host in the URL can be the host name specified in the HTTP request, or the IP address of the server.
Network addresses are not supported at this time, though you can use subnets in a pattern (for example, 10.0.0.*).
For servers on port 80, do not include the port. For servers on ports other than 80, add “ :port”, for
example: 10.0.0.1:8080. You can also use a wildcard for the port—for example,10.0.0.1:*—but this does
not apply to port 80.
Exceptions with part of a URL
You can create WebBlocker exceptions with the use of any part of a URL. You can set a port number,
path name, or string that must be blocked for a special web site. For example, if it is necessary to block
only www.sharedspace.com/~dave because it has inappropriate photographs, you type “www.sharedspace.com/~dave/*”. This gives the users the ability to browse to www.sharedspace.com/~julia, which
could contain content you want your users to see.
To block URLs that contain the word “sex” in the path, you can type “*/*sex*”. To block URLs that contain “sex” in the path or the host name, type “*sex*”.
You can block ports in an URL. For example, look at the URL
http://www.hackerz.com/warez/index.html:8080. This URL has the browser use the HTTP protocol on
TCP port 8080 instead of the default method that uses TCP 80. You can block the port by matching
*8080.

www.pattern.com. Be sure to drop the leading “http://” and include “/* at the end. Use the
User Guide
383
Defining WebBlocker Exceptions
wildcard symbol, *, to match any character. You can use more than one wildcard in one pattern.
For example, the pattern www.somesite.com/* will match all URL paths on the
www.somesite.com web site.
To enter a network address, use a pattern match that ends in a wildcard. For example, to match
all the web sites at 1.1.1.1 on port 8080, set the directory to “*”.
Exact match
Exact matches match an exact URL or IP address, character by character. You cannot use
wildcards, and you must type each character exactly as you want it to be matched. For example,
if you enter an exception to allow www.yahoo.com as an exact match only, and a user types
“www.yahoo.com/news”, the request is denied.
Regular expression
Regular expression matches use a Perl-compatible regular expression to make a match. For
example, \.[onc][eor][gtm] matches .org, .net, .com, or any other three-letter combination of one
letter from each bracket, in order. Be sure to drop the leading “http://” Supports wild cards used
in shell script.
For example, the expression “(www)?\.watchguard\.[com|org|net]” will match URL paths
including www.watchguard.com, www.watchguard.net, and www.watchguard.org. The
expression 1.1.1.[1-9] will match all IP addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.9.

10 Click the Log check box if you want a log message when an action is taken on a WebBlocker
exception.
11 To disable a exception but keep it in your configuration for possible use at a later time, clear the
Enabled check box.
Defining the action for sites that do not match exceptions
In the Use category list section below the list of exception rules, you can configure the action to occur
if the URL does not match the exceptions you configure. The default setting is that the Use the WebBlocker category list to determine accessibility radio button is selected, and WebBlocker compares
sites against the categories you selected on the Categories tab to determine accessibility.
You can also choose to not use the categories at all and instead use exception rules only to restrict web
site access. To do this, click the Deny website access radio button. Select the Log the denied action
check box below the radio button to send a log message for that action.
Changing the order of exception rules
The order that the exception rules are listed in the dialog box shows the order in which sites are compared to the rules. WebBlocker compares messages to the first rule in the list and continues in
384
WatchGuard System Manager
Defining WebBlocker Exceptions
sequence from top to bottom. When a messages matches a rule, WebBlocker performs the related
action. It performs no other actions, even if a site matches a rule or rules later in the list.
To change the order of rules, select the rule whose order you want to change. Click the Up or Down
button to move the rule up or down in the list.
Importing or exporting exception rules
If you manage several Fireboxes or use WebBlocker with more than one proxy definition, you can
import and export exception rules between them. This saves time because you must define the rules
only once.
You can transfer exception rules between proxies or Fireboxes in two ways. You can write an ASCII file
that defines the rules and import it to other Fireboxes or proxies. Or, you can use the WebBlocker user
interface to define the exception rules, export the file to an ASCII file, and import that file into another
Firebox configuration file or proxy definition.
Writing rulesets in an ASCII file
You can write rules in a normal ASCII file that uses the standard UTF-8 character set.
You must include only one rule per line. The syntax for rules is:
[rule_name, action, enabled|disabled, log|no log, match_type,] pattern_value
where:
rule_name is the name of the rule as it appears in the exception list. The default is WB Rule n.
action = Allow or Deny. The default action is Allow.
enabled|disabled = Whether the rule is currently enabled or disabled. The default is enabled.
log|no log = Specifies whether you want a log message when the action is taken. The default is
no log.
match_type = Specifies the type of match: exact match, regular expression or pattern match. The
default is pattern match.
value = value to be matched.
The fields enclosed in brackets are optional. If you omit them, the default values are used.
To add comments to a file, precede the comment with a number sign (#). Make sure the comment is on
its own line.
Below is an example exceptions file.
#
# Here are five exception rules
#
AllowFB, allow, enabled, No Log,*.firebox.net/*
deny, disabled, Log, very.badsite.com/*

ASCII text file in the format described in “Writing rulesets in an ASCII file” on page 385.
1
From the Exceptions tab of the WebBlocker Configuration dialog box, define exceptions as
described in “Adding exceptions” on page 382.
2
Click Export.
3
In the Open dialog box, select where you want to save the exceptions file and click Save.
You can now open another HTTP proxy definition in the same or in a different Firebox
configuration file and import the exceptions file.
WebBlocker Actions
The basic configuration you created with Tasks > WebBlocker > Configure is a WebBlocker action—a
set of WebBlocker settings—that you can apply to an HTTP proxy definition. You can define additional
WebBlocker actions if you want to apply different settings to different proxies.
Defining additional WebBlocker actions
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > Actions > WebBlocker.
The WebBlocker Configurations dialog box appears.

Scheduling WebBlocker actions
You can set an operating schedule for the policy. You can use the predefined settings in the dropdown list or create custom schedules. You use these time periods to set rules for when to block different web sites. For example, you can block sports web sites during usual business hours of operation,
but allow users to browse at lunch time, evenings, and weekends.
To set a schedule for a policy:
1
Open the policy to edit it, and click the Advanced tab.
2
Select a schedule from the drop-down list, or click the New/Clone icon to make a new schedule.
For more information, see “Creating Schedules” on page 82.
3
Configure an HTTP policy that uses the schedule.
You can also configure two HTTP policies, but create a schedule for only one of them. Each policy uses
one of the HTTP proxy actions. Each of these HTTP proxy actions points to one of at least two WebBlocker actions.

spamBlocker
Unwanted email, also known as spam, fills the average inbox at an astonishing rate. A large volume of
spam decreases bandwidth, degrades employee productivity, and wastes network resources.
The WatchGuard® spamBlocker option uses industry-leading pattern detection technology from
Commtouch to block spam at your Internet gateway and keep it from getting to your email server.
About spamBlocker
Commercial mail filters use many methods to find spam. Blacklists keep a list of domains that are used
by known spam sources or are open relays for spam. Content filters search for key words in the header
and body of the email message. URL detection compares a list of domains used by known spam
sources to the advertised link in the body of the email message. However, all of these procedures scan
each individual email message. Attackers can easily bypass those fixed algorithms. They can mask the
sender address to bypass a blacklist, change key words, embed words in an image, or use multiple languages. They can also create a chain of proxies to disguise the advertised URL.
spamBlocker uses the Recurrent-Pattern Detection (RPD) solution created by Commtouch to detect
these hard-to-find spam attacks. RPD is an innovative method that searches the Internet for spam outbreaks in real time. RPD finds the patterns of the outbreak, not only the pattern of individual spam
messages. Because it does not use the content or header of a message, it can identify spam in any language, format, or encoding. To see an example of real-time spam outbreak analysis, visit the
Commtouch Outbreak Monitor at:
http://www.commtouch.com/Site/ResearchLab/map.asp
spamBlocker works with the WatchGuard® POP3 and SMTP proxies to scan your email. If you have not
configured the POP3 or SMTP proxy, they are enabled when you configure the spamBlocker service. If
you have more than one proxy policy for POP3 or for SMTP, spamBlocker works with all of them.
spamBlocker requirements
Before you install spamBlocker, you must have:
•
spamBlocker feature key
•
SMTP or POP3 email server behind the Firebox®
User Guide

About spamBlocker
•
DNS configured on the Firebox that will apply spamBlocker rules. From Policy Manager, select
Network > Configuration. Click the WINS/DNS tab and type the IP addresses of the DNS servers
your Firebox uses to resolve host names.
•
Connection to the Internet
spamBlocker actions
The Firebox uses spamBlocker actions to apply decisions about the delivery of an email message that is
spam. spamBlocker can take the following actions:
•
Allow — Let the email message go through the Firebox normally.
•
Add subject tag — Let the email message go through the Firebox, but insert text in the subject
line of the email message to mark it as spam or possible spam. You can keep the default tags for
or you can customize them. See the next section for more information on spamBlocker tags.
•
Quarantine — (SMTP only) Send the email message to the Quarantine Server. Note that the
Quarantine option is supported only if you use spamBlocker with the SMTP proxy. The POP3
proxy does not support this option. For more information on the Quarantine Server, see the
“Quarantine Server” chapter in this guide.
•
Deny — (SMTP only) Stop the email message from being delivered to the mail server. The
Firebox sends this 571 SMTP message to the sending email server: “Delivery not authorized,
message refused”. Note that the Deny option is supported only if you use spamBlocker with the
SMTP proxy. The POP3 proxy does not support this option.
•
Drop — (SMTP only) Drop the connection immediately. The Firebox does not give any error
message to the sending server. Note that the Drop option is supported only if you use
spamBlocker with the SMTP proxy. The POP3 proxy does not support this option.
spamBlocker tags
The Firebox can add spamBlocker tags to the subject line of the email message. You can use the default
tags provided, or you can create a custom tag. This example shows the subject line of an email message that was found to be spam. The tag added is the default tag: ***SPAM***.
Subject: ***SPAM*** Free auto insurance quote
This example shows a custom tag: [SPAM]
Subject: [SPAM] You've been approved!
spamBlocker categories
The Commtouch Recurrent-Pattern Detection (RPD) solution classifies spam attacks in its Anti-Spam
Detection Center database according to severity. spamBlocker queries this database and assigns a category to each email message. spamBlocker has three categories: Confirmed spam, Bulk, and Suspect.
spamBlocker assigns email messages to these categories based on the number of patterns found in the
email message.
390
•
The Confirmed spam category includes email messages that come from known spammers. We
recommend you use the Deny action for this type of email if you use spamBlocker with the SMTP
proxy; Add subject tag if you use spamBlocker with the POP3 proxy.
•
The Bulk category includes email messages that do not come from known spammers, but do
match some known spam structure patterns. We recommend that you use the Add subject tag
action for this type of email, or the Quarantine action if you use spamBlocker with the SMTP
proxy.
WatchGuard System Manager
Installing the spamBlocker Feature Key
The Suspect category includes email messages that look like they could be associated with a new
spam attack. Frequently, these messages are legitimate email messages. We recommend that
you use the Allow action for this type of email.
•
Installing the spamBlocker Feature Key
To install spamBlocker, you must have a spamBlocker feature key and register it on the LiveSecurity®
web site. After you register it, LiveSecurity gives you a new Firebox® key that contains the spamBlocker
feature key.

Click through the wizard and add the information it asks for. The wizard has either one or two
screens depending on how your Firebox is currently configured.
Apply spamBlocker settings to your policies
This screen appears if you already have one or more SMTP or POP3 policies defined on your
Firebox. From the list, select the proxy policies for which you want to enable spamBlocker. The
Select check box for any policies that have spamBlocker already enabled is dimmed.
Create new proxy policies
This screen appears if your Firebox does not yet have policies created for either SMTP or POP3, or
if your Firebox has either SMTP or POP3 but not both. The wizard will create one or both of these
policies for you. For either policy, you must have at least one external interface with a static IP
address.
- To create a POP3 policy, select the POP3 check box.
- To create an SMTP policy, select the Incoming SMTP check box. Enter the email server IP
address.
- The SMTP policy created by this wizard contains “Any-External” for the From field and a static
NAT entry for the To field. The static NAT entry uses the first static external IP address
configured on the Firebox. It enables static NAT for the email server IP address you enter in
the wizard. If this default static NAT SMTP policy is not the best choice for your organization,
you can use Policy Manager to create an SMTP policy before you use the wizard.

If you want to record a log message each time spamBlocker takes an action, select the
Send log message check box for the action. If you do not want to record log messages for an
action, clear this check box.
5
The When the spamBlocker server is unavailable, access to POP3/SMTP email is check box
specifies how the Firebox handles incoming email when the spamBlocker server is down. We
recommend you use the default Allowed action.
If you configure spamBlocker to deny POP3 or SMTP email when it cannot contact the
spamBlocker server, it causes a conflict with Microsoft Outlook. When Outlook starts a
connection to the email server, spamBlocker tries to contact the spamBlocker server. If the
spamBlocker server is not available, spamBlocker stops the email download. When this happens,
a cycle starts. Outlook tries to download email and spamBlocker stops the download. This
continues until the Firebox can connect to the spamBlocker server, until the request is dropped
because the proxy times out, or until you cancel the request.
If you set this option to Denied with the SMTP proxy, the Firebox sends this 450 SMTP message
to the sending email server: “Mailbox is temporarily unavailable.”
6
The Send log message for each email classified as not spam check box specifies whether a
message is added to the log if an email message is scanned by spamBlocker but is not

designated as Confirmed Spam, Bulk, or Suspect. Select this check box if you want to add a
message to the log in this situation.
7
(Optional) Add spamBlocker exception rules, as described in the next section.
8
Click OK.
If you have any perimeter firewall between the Firebox that uses spamBlocker and the Internet, it must not
block HTTP traffic. The HTTP protocol is used to send requests from the Firebox to the spamBlocker server.
Using spamBlocker Exception Rules
You can create an exception list to the general spamBlocker actions that is based on the sender’s
address. For example, if you want to allow a newsletter that spamBlocker identifies as Bulk email, you
can add that sender to the exception list and use the Allow action regardless of the spamBlocker category the sender is assigned to. Or, if you want to apply a tag to a sender that spamBlocker designates
as safe, you can add that to the exceptions list as well.
You can also add exception rules by writing them in an ASCII file and importing them into your Firebox
configuration, as described in “Writing rulesets in an ASCII file” on page 396 and “Importing an ASCII
exceptions file” on page 396.
Adding spamBlocker exception rules
1
From the Exceptions block of the spamBlocker Configuration dialog box, click Add.
The Add Exception Rule dialog box appears.
2
Select a rule action: Allow, Add subject tag, Quarantine, Deny, or Drop. (Remember that the
POP3 proxy supports only the Allow and Add subject tag actions in spamBlocker.)
3
Type a sender, recipient, or both. You can type the full email name or use wildcards.
Make sure you use the sender’s actual address that is listed in the “Mail-From” field in the email
message header, which may not match the address in the “From:” field that you see at the top of
the email message. To get the actual address for an exception, get the full email message header
(from Microsoft Outlook, with the message open, select View > Options and look in the Internet
headers box). The addresses of the sender and recipient are in these lines:
X-WatchGuard-Mail-From:
X-WatchGuard-Mail-Recipients:
Use care when you add wildcards to an exception. Spammers can spoof header information. The
more specific the addresses in your exception list, the more difficult it will be to spoof them.
User Guide

Using spamBlocker Exception Rules
Changing the order of exception rules
The order that the exception rules are listed in the dialog box shows the order in which email messages
are compared to the rules. The proxy compares messages to the first rule in the list and continues in
sequence from top to bottom. When a message matches a rule, the Firebox performs the related
action. It performs no other actions, even if the message matches a rule or rules later in the list.
To change the order of rules, select the rule whose order you want to change. Click the Up or Down
button to move the rule up or down in the list.
Importing or exporting exception rules
If you manage several Fireboxes or use spamBlocker with more than one proxy definition, you can
import and export exception rules between them. This saves time because you must define the rules
only once.
You can transfer exception rules between proxies or Fireboxes in two ways. You can write an ASCII file
that defines the rules and import it to other Fireboxes or proxies. Or, you can use the spamBlocker user
interface to define the exception rules, export the file to an ASCII file, and import that file into another
Firebox configuration file or proxy definition.
Writing rulesets in an ASCII file
You can write rules in a normal ASCII file that uses the standard UTF-8 character set.
You must include only one rule per line. The syntax for rules is:
[action, <tag>,] sender [, recipient]
where:
action = Allow, Add subject tag <tag>, Quarantine, Deny, or Drop. (Quarantine, Deny, and
Drop are not supported by the POP3 proxy.) The default action is Allow.
tag = The identifier you want to add to the email messages. The identifier must be enclosed in
angle brackets.
sender = Email address ([email protected]) or pattern (*@firebox.net). The default is all
senders.
recipient = Email address ([email protected]) or pattern (*@firebox.net). The default is
all recipients.
The fields enclosed in brackets are optional. If you omit them, the default values are used.
To add comments to a file, precede the comment with a number sign (#). Make sure the comment is on
its own line.
Here is an example of a spamBlocker exception rules file:
# allow all email from firebox.net
*@firebox.net
# use **SPAM** tag on all email from xyz.com
Add subject tag, <**SPAM**>, *@xyz.com
# deny all email from unknown.com to [email protected]
Deny, *@unknown.com, [email protected]

If you import a rule with the Deny exception into the POP3 proxy, you will get an error message. If you
import a rule with the Quarantine action into the POP3 proxy, it is converted to Allow.
Exporting rules to an ASCII file
When you export exception rules from a proxy definition, the Firebox saves the current rules to an
ASCII text file in the format described in “Writing rulesets in an ASCII file” on page 396.

2
spamBlocker creates a thread for each message it processes. The thread includes information
about the message that is used to generate its spam score. spamBlocker sets a default maximum
number of threads that can be simultaneously buffered according to your Firebox appliance
model. You can use the Maximum number of threads field to increase or decrease this value. If
the amount of traffic handled by your proxy policies is low, you can increase the number of
supported threads for spamBlocker without affecting performance. If you have memory
problems related to your use of proxies on the Firebox, you might want to decrease the value in
this field.
3
Use the Maximum file size to scan field to set the number of bytes of an email message to be
passed to spamBlocker to be scanned. Usually, 20–40K is sufficient for spamBlocker to correctly
detect spam. However, if image-based spam is a problem for your organization, you can increase
the maximum file size to block more image-based spam.
4
In the Cache size field, enter the number of entries spamBlocker caches locally for messages that
have been categorized as spam and bulk. A local cache can improve performance because no
network traffic to Commtouch is required. Usually, you do not have to change this value.
You can set the Cache size field to 0 to force all email to be sent to Commtouch. This is generally
used only for troubleshooting.

of the proxy server, the port the Firebox must use to contact the proxy server, and authentication credentials for the Firebox to use for proxy server connections (if required by the proxy server).
Adding trusted email forwarders
Part of the spam score for an email message is calculated using the IP address of the server that the
message was received from. If an email forwarding service is used, the IP address of the forwarding
server is used to calculate the spam score. Because the forwarding server is not the initial source email
server, the spam score can be inaccurate.
User Guide
399
Setting Global spamBlocker Parameters
To improve spam scoring accuracy, you can enter one or more host names or domain names of email
servers that you trust to forward email to your email server. With this feature, spamBlocker ignores the
trusted email forwarder in the email message headers. The spam score is calculated using the IP
address of the source email server.
To add trusted email forwarders, on the spamBlocker Settings dialog box, click the Trusted Email
Forwarders tab. Type a host or domain name in the text field at the bottom of the dialog box and click
Add. If you add a domain name, make sure you add a leading period (.) to the name, as in .firebox.net.

Creating Rules for Bulk and Suspect Email on Email
Clients
Many network administrators allow email that is not confirmed as spam to be delivered to the email
recipient. They set up rules in their email client software to have any email tagged and put into a special folder on the email client. The procedure below gives instructions on how to configure the
Microsoft Outlook email client. For information about how to use this procedure on other types of
email clients, look at the user documentation for those products.
If you use spamBlocker with the SMTP proxy, you can have spam email sent to the Quarantine Server. For
more information on the Quarantine Server, see the “Quarantine Server” chapter in this guide.
Sending spam or bulk email to special folders in Outlook
This procedure shows you the steps to create rules for bulk and suspect email in Microsoft Outlook.
You can have email with a “spam” or “bulk” tag delivered directly to special folders in Outlook. When
you create these folders, you keep possible spam email out of your usual Outlook folders, but you can
get access to the email if it becomes necessary.
If you use another email client, check your user documentation for that product.
Before you start, make sure that you set the action for confirmed spam and bulk email to Add Subject
Tag. You can use the default tags, or create custom tags. The steps below describe how to create folders with the default tags.

Quarantine Server
The WatchGuard® Quarantine Server provides a safe, full-featured quarantine mechanism for spam,
bulk mail, and any email messages suspected to be spam. This repository receives email messages from
the SMTP proxy and filtered by spamBlocker. Granular control allows you to configure preferences for
mail disposition, storage allocations, and other parameters.
The Quarantine Server operates only with the SMTP proxy and spamBlocker. If you do not use
spamBlocker, or if you use spamBlocker with the POP3 proxy and not the SMTP proxy, you cannot use the
Quarantine Server.
About the Quarantine Server
The Quarantine Server provides tools for both users and administrators. Users get periodic email messages from the Quarantine Server that tell them they have email stored on the Quarantine Server. Users
can then click a URL in the email message to go to the Quarantine Server. On the Quarantine Server,
they see the sender and the subject of the suspicious email messages. They can release any email messages they choose to their email inbox and delete the others. Administrators can configure the
Quarantine Server to automatically delete future messages from a specific domain or sender, or those
that contain specific text in the subject line.
You can see statistics on Quarantine Server activity, such as the number of messages quarantined during a specific range of dates or the number of suspected spam messages.
The Quarantine Server has several classifications for quarantined messages:
•
Suspected spam: Could be spam, but not enough information to decide.
•
Confirmed spam: Definitely spam.
•
Bulk: The message is part of a commercial bulk mailing.

Signature-Based Security Services
Hackers use many methods to attack computers on the Internet. These attacks (called intrusions in this
chapter) are created to cause damage to your network, get sensitive information, or use your computers to attack other networks.
WatchGuard® offers the Gateway AntiVirus/Intrusion Prevention Service (Gateway AV/IPS) that can
work with WatchGuard proxy policies to identify and stop a possible intrusion.
When a new virus or intrusion is identified, the features that make the virus or intrusion unique are
recorded. These recorded features are known as the signature. Gateway AV/IPS uses these signatures
to find viruses and intrusions.
WatchGuard cannot guarantee that the product can stop all viruses or intrusions, or prevent damage to
your systems or networks from a virus or intrusion.
Installing and Updating Security Services
To install Gateway AntiVirus and Intrusion Prevention Service, you must get a feature key for each of
them and add the feature keys to the Firebox. For information on how to do this, see “Working with
Feature Keys” on page 61.
New viruses and intrusion methods appear on the Internet frequently. To make sure that
Gateway AV/IPS gives you the best protection, you must update the signatures frequently. You can
configure the Firebox® to update the signatures automatically from WatchGuard, as described in “Configuring the update server” on page 424. You can also update the signatures manually, as described in
“Updating signatures or engines manually” on page 434.
About Gateway AntiVirus
WatchGuard® Gateway AntiVirus (Gateway AV) stops viruses before they get to computers on your network. Gateway AV operates with the WatchGuard SMTP, POP3, HTTP, FTP, and TCP proxies. When you
enable Gateway AV, the SMTP, POP3, HTTP, FTP, or TCP proxy looks at various types of traffic and performs an action that you specify, such as dropping the connection or blocking the packet and adding
its source address to the Blocked Sites list.
User Guide
417
Activating Gateway AntiVirus
Gateway AntiVirus scans different types of traffic according to which proxy or proxies you use the feature with:
•
If you enable Gateway AntiVirus with the SMTP or POP3 proxy, it finds viruses encoded with
frequently used email attachment methods. These include base64, binary, 7-bit, 8-bit encoding,
and uuencoding.
•
If you enable Gateway AntiVirus with the HTTP proxy, it finds viruses in web pages that users try
to download.
•
Gateway AntiVirus works with the TCP proxy to scan HTTP traffic on dynamic ports. It recognizes
that traffic and forwards it to the default or user-defined HTTP proxy to perform antivirus
scanning.
•
If you enable Gateway AntiVirus with the FTP proxy, it finds viruses in uploaded or downloaded
files.
Each proxy that uses Gateway AntiVirus is configured with options that are special to that proxy. For
example, if you use Gateway AntiVirus with the FTP proxy, you can limit file scanning up to a specified
kilobyte count.
Signatures for Gateway AV are not automatically updated by default. To make sure Gateway AV has current signatures, either enable automatic updates for the Gateway AV server, (as described in “Configuring
the update server” on page 424) or use the Security Services tab of Firebox System Manager to manually
update the signatures.
Activating Gateway AntiVirus
You can activate Gateway AntiVirus in two ways: with the Activate Gateway AntiVirus wizard or
through the definitions of proxies you want to use with the feature.
When you use the Activate Gateway AntiVirus wizard, you can create proxies in one step and enable
Gateway AntiVirus for several proxies at the same time. If you plan to use Gateway AntiVirus for more
than one proxy, you may save time if you use the wizard.

This screen includes a list of proxy policies that are already on your Firebox. From the list, select
the proxy policies for which you want to enable Gateway AntiVirus. The Select check boxes for
any policies that are disabled or that have Gateway AntiVirus already enabled appear dimmed.
You can also automatically enable Gateway AntiVirus for the SMTP, POP3, HTTP, FTP, or TCP
proxies if you change settings in the proxy definition, as described in the “Activating Gateway AV
from proxy definitions” section, below.
User Guide

Create new proxy policies
This screen appears if your Firebox does not yet have policies created for Incoming SMTP, POP3,
TCP, FTP, or HTTP Client.
To create a policy, select the corresponding check box. If you select SMTP, enter the mail server IP
address.
If you select to create an SMTP policy, the wizard creates a default SMTP policy, which is a static
NAT policy. To create this default SMTP policy, you must have at least one external interface with
a static IP address or PPPoE. Only one policy is created even if you have more than one external
interface. The To field of the policy is a static NAT entry (the static IP address of the first external
interface to the specified mail service IP address). If this default policy does not meet your
requirements, you can create an SMTP policy in Policy Manager before you run this wizard.
Activating Gateway AV from proxy definitions
You can activate Gateway AntiVirus from proxy definitions instead of the Activate Gateway AntiVirus
wizard.

Gateway AV can scan traffic that matches rules in several categories for each proxy. For example,
for the SMTP and POP3 proxies, Gateway AV can scan traffic that matches rules in the Content
Types and File Names categories. From the Categories list on the left side of the Proxy
Configuration window, click one of the following categories.

Gateway AntiVirus is automatically activated and enabled for the proxy. To use Gateway
AntiVirus with other proxies, you must repeat this procedure for each one.
Configuring Antivirus Actions
When you enable Gateway AntiVirus, you must set the actions to be taken if a virus or error is found in
an email message (SMTP or POP3 proxies), web page (HTTP or TCP proxies), or uploaded or downloaded file (FTP proxy). The options for antivirus actions are:
Allow
Allows the packet to go to the recipient, even if the content contains a virus.
Lock (SMTP and POP3 proxies only)
Locks the attachment. This is a good option for files that cannot be scanned by the Firebox®. A
file that is locked cannot be opened easily by the user. Only the administrator can unlock the file.
The administrator can use a different antivirus tool to scan the file and examine the content of
the attachment. For information on how to unlock a file locked by Gateway AntiVirus, see
“Unlocking a file locked by Gateway AntiVirus” on page 423.
Remove (SMTP and POP3 proxies only)
Removes the attachment and allows the message through to the recipient.
Drop (not supported in POP3 proxy)
Drops the packet and drops the connection. No information is sent to the source of the message.
Block (not supported in POP3 proxy)
Blocks the packet, and adds the IP address of the sender to the Blocked Sites list.
If you set the configuration to allow attachments, your configuration is less secure.

password-protected Zip files. See the beginning of this section for a description of the proxy
actions.
5
(FTP proxy only) You can limit file scanning up to a specified kilobyte count. Any additional bytes
in the file are not scanned. This allows the proxy to partially scan very large files without a large
effect on performance. Enter the limit in the Limit scanning to first field.
Creating alarms or log entries for antivirus actions
An alarm is a mechanism to tell users when a proxy rule applies to network traffic. Use the Alarm check
box on the AntiVirus page of a proxy definition to create an alarm when the adjacent action occurs. If
you do not want an alarm for the antivirus action, clear the Alarm check box for that action.
To use the alarm feature successfully, you must also configure the type of alarm to use in each proxy
policy. To configure the alarm type to use, use the Proxy and AV Alarms category for the proxy. For
information about the settings for this category, see “Setting Logging and Notification Preferences in
Policy Manager” on page 96.
If you want to record log messages for a proxy action, select the Log check box for the antivirus
response. If you do not want to record log messages for an antivirus response, clear the Log check box.

Hackers use many methods to attack computers on the Internet. The function of these attacks is to
cause damage to your network, get sensitive information, or use your computers to attack other networks. These attacks are known as intrusions.
You use the Firebox® Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) with the WatchGuard® proxies to find and stop
intrusions. IPS examines DNS, FTP, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP traffic. It uses the TCP proxy to scan other
TCP-based traffic.
Before you use IPS in a proxy policy, you must run the Activate Intrusion Prevention wizard to activate
the feature and create a basic configuration:

About intrusion severity levels
The proxy settings for intrusion prevention generally use three separate security levels. These three
intrusion severity levels look for the following:
High
Vulnerabilities that allow remote access or execution of code, such as buffer overflows, remote
command execution, password disclosure, backdoors, and security bypass.
Medium
Vulnerabilities that allow access, disclose server-side source code to attackers, and deny access
to legitimate users. Examples are directory traversal, file/source disclosure, DoS, SQL injection,
and cross-site scripting.
Low
Vulnerabilities that do not allow the attacker to directly get access, but allow the attacker to get
information that can be used in an intrusion. For example, an attacker can send a command that
gets information about the operating system, IP addresses, or topology of a network. Signatures

Dynamic Routing
The OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols are available only in Fireware® Pro. Only Routing
Information Protocol (RIP) is available with Fireware.
A routing protocol is the language a router speaks with other routers to share information about the
status of network routing tables. With static routing, routing tables are set and do not change. If a
router on the remote path fails, a packet cannot get to its destination.
Dynamic routing lets routing tables in routers change as the routes change. If the best path to a destination cannot be used, dynamic routing protocols change routing tables when necessary to keep your
network traffic moving. Fireware Pro supports RIP v1 and v2, OSPF, and BGP v4 dynamic routing protocols. Fireware supports only RIP v1 and v2.
Routing Daemon Configuration Files
To use any of the dynamic routing protocols with Fireware®, you must import or type a dynamic routing configuration file for the routing daemon you choose. This configuration file includes information
such as a password and log file name. To see configuration templates for each of the routing protocols,
see the Dynamic Routing section of the product FAQs at:
www.watchguard.com/support/faqs/fireware/
You can find a list of supported configuration commands for each routing protocol in the sections
below. The command sections below appear in the order they must go in an operating configuration
file.
Notes about configuration files:
•
The “!” and the “#” characters are comment characters. If the first character of the word is one of
the comment characters, then the rest of the line is interpreted as a comment. If the comment
character is not the first character of the word, it is interpreted as a command.
•
Usually, you can use the word “no” at the beginning of the line to disable a command. For
example: “no network 10.0.0.0/24 area 0.0.0.0” disables the backbone area on the specified
network.

437
Using RIP
Using RIP
Support for this protocol is available in both Fireware® and Fireware Pro.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is used to manage router information in a self-contained network,
such as a corporate LAN or a private WAN. With RIP, a gateway host sends its routing table to the closest router each 30 seconds. This router, in turn, sends the contents of its routing tables to neighboring
routers.
RIP is best for small networks. This is because the transmission of the full routing table each 30 seconds
can put a large traffic load on the network, and because RIP tables are limited to 15 hops. OSPF is a better alternative for larger networks.
RIP Version 1
RIP V1 uses a UDP broadcast over port 520 to send updates to routing tables. To create or modify a
routing configuration file, here is a table of supported routing commands. The sections must appear in
the configuration file in the same order they appear in this table. You can also use the sample RIP configuration file in the Dynamic Routing section of the Fireware FAQs at:

Using OSPF
Support for this protocol is available only in Fireware® Pro.
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an interior router protocol used in larger networks. With OSPF, a
router that sees a change to its routing table or that detects a change in the network immediately
sends a multicast update to all other routers in the network. OSPF is different from RIP because:
•
OSPF sends only the part of the routing table that has changed in its transmission. RIP sends the
full routing table each time.
•
OSPF sends a multicast only when its information has changed. RIP sends the routing table every
30 seconds.
Also, note the following about OSPF:
•
If you have more than one OSPF area, one area must be area 0.0.0.0 (the backbone area).
•
All areas must be adjacent to the backbone area. If they are not, you must configure a virtual link
to the backbone area.

OSPF Interface Cost table
The OSPF protocol finds the most efficient route between two points. To do this, it looks at factors such
as interface link speed, the number of hops between points, and other metrics. By default, OSPF uses
the actual link speed of a device to calculate the total cost of a route. You can set the interface cost
manually to help maximize efficiency if, for example, your gigabyte-based firewall is connected to a
100M router. Use the numbers in the OSPF Interface Cost table to manually set the interface cost to a
value different than the actual interface cost.

and destinations for a policy” on page 196.) Click OK.
Using BGP
Support for this protocol is available only in Fireware® Pro.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a scalable dynamic routing protocol used on the Internet by groups
of routers to share routing information. BGP uses route parameters or “attributes” to define routing
policies and create a stable routing environment. This protocol allows you to advertise more than one
path to and from the Internet to your network and resources, which gives you redundant paths and can
increase your uptime.
Hosts that use BGP use TCP to send updated routing table information when one host finds a change.
The host sends only the part of the routing table that has the change. BGP uses classless interdomain
routing (CIDR) to reduce the size of the Internet routing tables. The size of the BGP routing table in Fireware Pro is set at 32K.
The size of the typical WatchGuard® customer wide area network (WAN) is best suited for OSPF
dynamic routing. A WAN can also use external border gateway protocol (EBGP) when more than one
gateway to the Internet is available. EBGP allows you to take full advantage of the redundancy possible
with a multi-homed network.
446
WatchGuard System Manager
Using BGP
To participate in EBGP with an ISP you must have an autonomous system number (ASN). You must get

Traffic Management and Quality of
Service
To use the features described in this chapter, you must have Fireware® Pro installed on your Firebox®.
In a large network with many computers, the volume of data that moves through the firewall can be
very large. A network administrator can use Traffic Management and Quality of Service (QoS) actions to
prevent data loss for important business applications and to make sure mission-critical applications
take priority over other traffic.
About Traffic Management and QoS
Traffic Management and QoS provide a number of benefits. You can:
•
Guarantee or limit bandwidth
•
Control the rate at which the Firebox® sends packets to the network
•
Prioritize when to send packets to the network
To apply traffic management to policies, you define a Traffic Management action, which is a collection
of settings that you can apply to one or more policy definitions. This way you do not need to configure
the traffic management settings separately in each policy. You can define additional Traffic Management actions if you want to apply different settings to different policies.
Guaranteeing bandwidth
Bandwidth reservation prevents connection timeouts. A traffic management queue with reserved
bandwidth and low priority can give bandwidth to real-time applications with higher priority when
necessary without disconnecting. Other traffic management queues can take advantage of unused
reserved bandwidth when it becomes available.
For example, suppose your company has an FTP server on the external network and you want to guarantee that FTP always has at least 200 Kilobytes per second through the external interface. You might
also consider setting a minimum bandwidth from the trusted interface to make sure that the connection has end-to-end guaranteed bandwidth. To do this, you would create a Traffic Management action
that defines a minimum of 200 kbps for FTP traffic on the external interface. You would then create an
User Guide
451
Configuring Outgoing Interface Bandwidth
FTP policy and apply the Traffic Management action. This will allow “ftp put” at 200 kbps. If you want to
allow “ftp get” at 200 kbps, you must configure the FTP traffic on the trusted interface to also have a
minimum of 200 kbps.
As another example, suppose your company uses multimedia materials (streaming media) for training
external customers. This streaming media uses RTSP over port 554. You have frequent FTP uploads
from the trusted to external interface, and you do not want these uploads to compete with your customers receiving streaming media. You would apply a Traffic Management action to the external interface for the streaming media port to guarantee sufficient bandwidth.
Restricting bandwidth
The guaranteed bandwidth setting works with another setting configured for each external interface,
Outgoing Interface Bandwidth, to make sure you do not guarantee more bandwidth than actually
exists. This setting also helps you make sure the sum of guaranteed bandwidth settings does not fill
the link such that non-guaranteed traffic cannot pass. For example, suppose the link is 1 Mbps and you
try to use a Traffic Management action that guarantees 973 Kbps (0.95 Mbps) to the FTP policy on that
link. With these settings, the FTP traffic could prevent other types of traffic from using the interface. If
you try to configure the Firebox this way, Policy Manager warns you that you are approaching the Outgoing Interface Bandwidth setting for that interface.
QoS Marking
QoS Marking creates different classes of service for different kinds of outbound network traffic. When
you “mark” traffic, you change up to six bits on packet header fields defined for this purpose. QoS-capable external devices can make use of this marking and provide appropriate handling of a packet as it
travels from one point to another in a network.
You can use QoS Marking on a per-interface or per-policy basis. When you define QoS Marking for an
interface, packets leaving that interface are marked. QoS Marking for a policy marks traffic that uses the
policy.
Traffic priority
You can assign different levels of priority either to policies or for traffic from a particular interface. Traffic prioritization at the firewall allows you to manage multiple class of service (CoS) queues and reserve
the highest priority for real-time or streaming data. A policy with high priority can take bandwidth
away from existing low priority connections when the link is congested and traffic is competing for
bandwidth.
Configuring Outgoing Interface Bandwidth
Before you use Traffic Management features, you must give each interface a bandwidth limit, known as
Outgoing Interface Bandwidth, for traffic sent from that interface to the network segment to which it is
connected. After you set this limit, Fireware® will refuse packets that exceed the limit. Also, Policy Manager gives a warning if you allocate too much bandwidth as you create or adjust traffic management
actions.
If you keep the Outgoing Interface Bandwidth setting for any interface at its default value of 0, it is set
to the auto-negotiated link speed for that interface.

In the Outgoing Interface Bandwidth field, enter the amount of bandwidth provided by the
network. Use your Internet connection upload speed (in Kbps rather than KBps) as the limit for
external interfaces. Set your LAN interface bandwidth based on the minimum link speed
supported by your LAN infrastructure.
Using Traffic Management Actions
Traffic Management actions can enforce an absolute maximum connection rate and bandwidth for
groups of policies. Traffic Management actions can also guarantee minimum bandwidth for groups of
policies per interface. This allows you to control how much bandwidth is reserved for connections from
trusted to external independently from those between trusted and optional where more bandwidth
might be available.
All policies that use a given Traffic Management action share its connection rate and bandwidth settings. When they are created, policies automatically belong to the default Traffic Management action,
which enforces no restrictions or reservations. If you create a Traffic Management action to set a maximum bandwidth of 10 Mbps and apply it to an FTP and an HTTP policy, all connections handled by
those policies must share 10Mbps. If you later apply the same Traffic Management action to a Citrix policy, all three must share 10 Mbps. This logic applies to connection rate limits and guaranteed minimum
bandwidth as well. Unused guaranteed bandwidth reserved by one Traffic Management action can be
used by others.

Setting traffic priority in a policy
Many different algorithms can be used to prioritize network traffic. Fireware uses a high performance,
class-based queueing method based on the Hierarchical Token Bucket algorithm. Prioritization in Fireware is applied per policy and is equivalent to CoS (class of service) levels 0 to 7 where 0 is normal priority (default) and 7 is the highest priority. Use the table below as a guideline when you assign priorities.
Level 5 is commonly used for streaming data such as VoIP or video conferencing. Reserve levels 6 and 7
for policies that allow system administration connections to make sure they are always available and
avoid interference from other high priority network traffic.

Using Traffic Management actions in a multi-WAN environment
When a Traffic Management action is applied on a multiple WAN policy with the multi-WAN feature set
up in round-robin mode, the maximum bandwidth and connection rate settings in the Traffic Management action control the total throughput and connection rate across all interfaces. This includes all
external interfaces that are configured to route traffic.

Setting Connection and Bandwidth Limits
When a Traffic Management action is applied on a multiple WAN policy with multi-WAN set up in WAN
failover mode, the maximum bandwidth and connection rate settings in the Traffic Management
action control the throughput and connection rate across the one external interface that is currently
sending packets.
Setting Connection and Bandwidth Limits
You can define an alarm to occur when network capacity is exceeded according to the parameters that
you specify. You can configure the alarm to make the Firebox® send an event notification to the SNMP
management system, or to send a notification in the form of an email message or a pop-up window on
the management station.

Start to define the Traffic Management action, as described in steps 1 and 2 of “Defining a Traffic
Management action” on page 453.
2
Use the Connection Rate drop-down list to set a maximum number of connections per second
that can occur before Traffic Management actions start.
The default configuration puts no limits on the connection rate. If you select Custom, you can
type the maximum connection rate. When this limit is reached, the Traffic Management action
starts.

About QoS Marking
Today’s networks often consist of many kinds of network traffic that compete for bandwidth. All traffic,
whether of prime importance or negligible importance, has an equal chance of reaching its destination
in a timely manner. Quality of Service (QoS) Marking gives critical traffic preferential treatment to make
sure it is delivered quickly and reliably.
QoS functionality must be able to differentiate the various types of data streams that flow across your
network. It must then “mark” data packets. The Fireware feature called QoS Marking creates different
classifications of service for different kinds of network traffic. When you mark traffic, you change up to
six bits on packet header fields defined for this purpose. The Firebox and other QoS-capable external
devices can make use of this marking and provide appropriate handling of a packet as it travels from
one point to another in a network.
456
WatchGuard System Manager
About QoS Marking
Make sure your LAN equipment supports QoS Marking and handling. You might also need to make
sure your ISP supports QoS.
The use of QoS procedures on a network requires that you do extensive planning. You can first identify
theoretical bandwidth available and then determine which network applications are high priority, particularly sensitive to latency and jitter, or both.
The networking industry has many different algorithms to prioritize network traffic. Fireware uses a
high performance, class-based queueing method based on the Hierarchical Token Bucket algorithm.
Prioritization in Fireware is equivalent to CoS levels 0 to 7 where 0 is normal priority (default) and 7 is
the highest priority.
Per-interface and per-policy QoS Marking
You can use QoS Marking on a per-interface or per-policy basis. When you define QoS Marking for an
interface, packets leaving that interface are marked. QoS Marking for a policy marks traffic that uses the
policy. The QoS Marking for a policy overrides any QoS Marking set on an interface.
For example, suppose your Firebox receives QoS-marked traffic from the external network and sends it
to the trusted network. However, you want only the traffic to your executive team from external to
trusted to be differentiated by QoS Marking. You set the QoS Marking for the trusted interface to Clear.
Then, you add a policy with QoS Marking set for the traffic to your executive team.
Marking types and values
Fireware supports two types of QoS Marking: IP Precedence marking (also known as Class of Service)
and Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) marking. IP Precedence marking affects only the first
three bits in the IP type of service (TOS) octet. DSCP marking expands marking to the first six bits in the
IP TOS octet. Both methods allow you to either preserve the bits in the header, which may have been
marked previously by an external device, or change them to a new value.
DSCP values can be expressed in numeric form or by special keyword names that correspond to perhop behavior (PHB). Per-hop behavior is the priority applied to a packet when traveling from one point
to another in a network. Fireware DSCP marking supports three types of per-hop behavior:
•
Best-Effort
Best-Effort is the default type of service and is recommended for traffic that is not critical or realtime. All traffic falls into this class if you do not use QoS Marking.
•
Assured Forwarding (AF)
Assured Forwarding is recommended for traffic that needs better reliability than the best-effort
service.
•
Expedited Forwarding (EF)
This type has the highest priority. It is generally reserved for mission-critical and real-time traffic.
Within the Assured Forwarding (AF) type of per-hop behavior, traffic can be assigned to three classes:
Low, Medium, and High.
Class-Selector (CSx) code points are defined to be backward compatible with IP Precedence values.
CS1 through CS7 are identical to IP Precedence values 1 through 7.
The following table shows the DSCP values you can select, the corresponding IP Precedence value
(which is the same as the CS value), and the description in PHB keywords.

business traffic a priority of 5 or lower.
QoS Marking and IPSec traffic
If you want to apply QoS to IPsec traffic, you must create a specific firewall policy for the corresponding
IPsec policy and apply QoS Marking to that policy.
Consider also the setting of the Enable TOS for IPSec check box in the VPN Settings dialog box. If you
select this check box, any existing marking is preserved when the packet is encapsulated in an IPSec
header. If the check box is cleared, the TOS bits are reset and no marking is preserved.

High Availability
To use the features described in this chapter, you must have Fireware® Pro installed on your Firebox.
High Availability (HA) refers to the ability of a network to operate when hardware or software fails.
When you add redundancy to your network, you remove one point of vulnerability.
This chapter includes two methods to configure High Availability. Use the first method if the Firebox
devices to configure for High Availability are Firebox X Core or Peak e-Series devices. If the two Firebox
devices are Firebox X Core or Peak devices and not e-Series appliances, you can use either the first or
second method.
About WatchGuard High Availability
The WatchGuard® High Availability feature enables the installation of two Firebox® devices in a failover
configuration. The configuration includes one Firebox we identify as the primary device and the other
we identify as the secondary device. One of these devices is always in active mode and the other in
standby mode. These two Fireboxes are known as peers. They constantly send messages to each other
to communicate their status.
HA failover occurs when the internal heartbeat is lost or when an HA-monitored physical interface is
down. When a failover event occurs, the standby system becomes active. After a Firebox becomes
active, it stays active until it goes offline and the standby Firebox starts as the active unit.
When High Availability is enabled, WSM continues to support:
•
Secondary networks on external, trusted, or optional interfaces
•
Multi-WAN connections, with the limitation that a multi-WAN failover caused by a failed
connection to a link monitor host does not trigger HA failover. HA failover occurs only when the
physical interface is down or does not respond. HA failover takes precedence over multi-WAN
failover.
•
VLANs
When High Availability is enabled, the following connections are disconnected when a failover event
occurs:
User Guide
461
High Availability Requirements
•
RUVPN with PPTP
•
MUVPN with IPsec
•
Proxy connections
Users must manually reestablish these connections after a failover.
When a High Availability Firebox becomes active, its non-HA interfaces get a new MAC address with
the format 00:00:5E:00:01:xy. The non-HA interfaces of the standby Firebox keep their original MAC
addresses, which start with 00:90:7F.
High Availability Requirements
Here are the requirements for the High Availability feature:
•
One Firebox® in each HA pair is the primary Firebox. We recommend that you use the Firebox
with the most licensed features and capacities as the primary HA device.
•
The two Fireboxes in an HA configuration must be the same model and must use the same
software version. If the software versions are different, you must upgrade the Firebox with the
old version to match the other Firebox. The Firebox with the old software must have a license for
the upgraded software.
•
Each active interface on the primary HA Firebox must connect to the same hub or switch as its
matching active interface on the secondary HA Firebox.
High availability requires an interface or interfaces dedicated specifically for HA synchronization.
Selecting a Primary High Availability Firebox
When you activate High Availability, each Firebox® in the pair must have a Fireware® feature key that
enables the same version of the Fireware appliance software. We recommend that you select the
Firebox with the most features as the primary Firebox. If you purchase an upgrade for your High Availability pair, you must apply the upgrade to the serial number of the primary Firebox when you activate
the upgrade on the LiveSecurity® web site. Both Fireboxes in the High Availability pair will use the
licensed features of the primary Firebox.

Forcing a failover and transferring management to peer
The Force Admin option is similar to Force Failover except that it transfers the management of
High Availability from the current Firebox to the peer. The current Firebox is put into a state
where it cannot become active. If the peer is available, the peer becomes active. The current
Firebox cannot become active again unless you restart it (or the active Firebox issues the Restart
Peer command) and then a failover occurs or you force a failover back to the original Firebox.
From Firebox System Manager, select
Tools > High Availability > Force Admin
Restarting the peer
When you connect to an HA configuration, you communicate only to the active Firebox. To
restart the peer Firebox, you must send the command from the active Firebox:
From Firebox System Manager, select
Tools > High Availability > Restart Peer.
When the Firebox is in a high CPU or traffic condition and you use Firebox System Manager to control HA
operations, you can get an incorrect “timeout” message. In this case, the operation may have completed,
and it is possible the timeout message is not correct.
Backing up an HA configuration
When a Firebox is in a High Availability pair, you can back up the flash image of the Firebox only when it
is the active Firebox. To create a backup image (.fxi) of the active Firebox:
1
From Policy Manager, select File > Backup.
2
Type the configuration passphrase. Click OK.
3
Type and confirm an encryption key. This key is used to encrypt the backup file.
Type a strong encryption key that is easy to remember.
4
Browse or type the location for the backup file. Click OK.
The backup file is created.
5
Click OK when the backup is complete.
Upgrading Software in an HA Configuration
If you install the software on the active Firebox®, the standby Firebox in the HA configuration does not
automatically upgrade. You must upgrade each Firebox. Upgrade the active Firebox first. The Firebox
restarts when the upgrade is complete. When this occurs, the standby Firebox becomes the active Firebox. You can then upgrade that Firebox. You cannot upgrade the software on a Firebox that is in
standby mode.
Using HA with Proxy Sessions
When High Availability is activated and a failover event occurs, all outgoing TCP sessions are disconnected. Users must manually reestablish all interactive or persistent sessions. This is because proxy session state is not retained between HA peers. Consider adding specific packet filter policies to your
configuration for telnet, ssh, or any other policy for which you want failover. Note that IPS does not
operate with these new policies.
If you use proxy policies with signature-based Gateway AV/IPS and a failover event occurs, the standby
Firebox becomes the active Firebox and checks automatically for signature updates.

WatchGuard and Customer hereby agree as follows:
1 Definitions. As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the following
meanings: "Add-on Product/Service" means the software license and renewable subscription service made generally available
by WatchGuard to its customers purchasing the equivalent
product/service (including level of service, if applicable) as indicated on the License Key, which may include the provision of/
access to Software, Threat Signatures, information or other items/services, and
which is subject to change by WatchGuard from time to time. "Software" means any WatchGuard software, which includes
computer software components (whether installed separately on a computer workstation or on a WatchGuard hardware
product or included/pre-installed with a WatchGuard hardware product) and may include associated media, printed materials,
and on-line or electronic documentation, and any updates or modifications thereto, including those received through the
WatchGuard LiveSecurity Service (or its equivalent) or the Add-on Product/Service. “License Key” means the license key or other
written or online documentation provided to Customer evidencing Customer's purchase or renewal/upgrade (as applicable) of
the Add-on Product/Service. “Threat Signatures” means information used to scan for and identify known cyber-threats that fall
into specific classes (e.g., virus signatures or intrusion prevention signatures).
2 Add-on Product/Service. WatchGuard will make the Add-on Product/Service available to Customer during
the Term. Customer agrees that (i) an Add-on Product/Service (and all benefits associated with the Add-on Product/Service) may
only be used in conjunction with that number of WatchGuard products as expressly provided for in the License Key and that
additional Add-on Product/Service licenses/subscriptions must be purchased for additional WatchGuard products that are to
receive any benefits of the Add-on Product/Service and (ii) a renewal/upgrade to an Add-on Product/Service (and all benefits
associated with the Add-on Product/Service renewal/upgrade) may only be used in conjunction with that number of
WatchGuard products as expressly provided for in the renewal/upgrade License Key and that additional renewals/upgrades
must be purchased for additional WatchGuard products that are to receive any benefits of the renewal/upgrade.
3 Add-on Product/Service Fees. Customer will pay to WatchGuard the applicable Add-on Product/Service fee and any and all
applicable Add-on Product/Service renewal/upgrade fees for Add-on Product/Service renewals/upgrades purchased, each as
established by WatchGuard from time to time. The Add-on Product/Service and Add-on Product/Service renewal/upgrade fees
are non-refundable to Customer, even in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 prior to the
expiration of the initial Term, or any renewal of the Term.
4 Term. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence upon acceptance of this Agreement and
activation of the Add-on Product/Service or Add-on Product/Service renewal/upgrade by Customer, and shall end upon
expiration of the term specified in the applicable License Key, unless renewed in accordance with Section 5 or sooner
terminated in accordance with Section 6. The term of the WatchGuard Firebox Software End-User License Agreement applicable
to all Software associated with the Add-on Product/Service as described below shall be as stated in such end-user license
agreement.

WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. Add-on Product/Service Customer Agreement/End-User License Agreement
5 Renewal. WatchGuard may establish different renewal options from time to time that will be effective as a renewal pursuant to
this Section 5 once payment is made in accordance with such option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, renewals may not be
available to Customers with WatchGuard products that have been discontinued or that WatchGuard no longer supports for
purposes of the Add-on Product/Service.
6 Termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party is in material breach and fails to cure such breach
within fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notice of such breach, except that WatchGuard may terminate this Agreement
immediately upon Customer's failure to pay any applicable fees when due.
7 Software License. Customer expressly agrees that use of all Software associated with the Add-on Product/Service shall be
governed solely by the terms and conditions of the WatchGuard Firebox Software End-User License Agreement as a “SOFTWARE
PRODUCT”or, if applicable, the WatchGuard software end-user license agreement associated with such Software, and such
terms and conditions are incorporated herein by reference.
8 Disclaimer and Release. Warranty Disclaimer. WatchGuard warrants that the Add-on Product/Service will be provided to
Customer in accordance with all the requirements of this Agreement. WATCHGUARD MAKES NO OTHER GUARANTEES OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE OR THE ACCURACY,
RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY THREAT SIGNATURES, INFORMATION OR OTHER ITEM/SERVICE (OR UPDATES THERETO)
PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE AS PART OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE. WATCHGUARD SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ANY USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/
SERVICE OR ANY THREAT SIGNATURES, INFORMATION OR OTHER ITEM/SERVICE PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE AS PART OF OR
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE. THE WARRANTY CONTAINED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS
PARAGRAPH 8 IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN SUBSTITUTION FOR, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE, DISCLAIM AND RELEASE ANY AND ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF WATCHGUARD AND ALL OTHER RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND REMEDIES YOU
MAY HAVE AGAINST WATCHGUARD, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE ADD-ON
PRODUCT/SERVICE OR THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY THREAT SIGNATURES, INFORMATION OR
OTHER ITEM/SERVICE (OR UPDATES THERETO) PROVIDED OR MADE AVAILABLE AS PART OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADDON PRODUCT/SERVICE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE
OF TRADE, ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE
(WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED) OR FAULT OF WATCHGUARD AND ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR
REMEDY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY, THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE). Some jurisdictions do
not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to Customer. This limited warranty gives
Customer specific legal rights, and Customer may also have other legal rights, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
9 Limitation of Liability. WATCHGUARD'S LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE; AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAULT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR PRODUCT LIABILITY) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH
RESPECT TO THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY SUBCRIBER FOR THE
ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE. THIS SHALL BE TRUE EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE FAILURE OF AN AGREED REMEDY. IN NO EVENT
SHALL WATCHGUARD OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT
(INCLUDING WARRANTY), TORT (INCLUDING ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY AND FAULT),
FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF
BUSINESS PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THE PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM THE ADD-ON PRODUCT/SERVICE, EVEN IF WATCHGUARD OR ITS SUPPLIERS HAVE
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS SHALL BE TRUE EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE FAILURE OF AN
AGREED REMEDY. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations or exclusions, so they may not apply to Customer.
10 Reservation of Rights. WatchGuard and its licensors hereby reserve ownership of and all
rights in the Threat Signatures, information and other items/services provided or made available as part of or in connection with
the Add-on Product/Service and all copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights associated with such Threat Signatures,
information and other items/services. Except as provided for in this Agreement or as expressly authorized by WatchGuard in
writing (including by publishing the terms and conditions of use by WatchGuard of any Threat Signatures subject to “open
source” licensing), you may not reproduce, republish, post, transmit or distribute the Threat Signatures, information or other
items/services provided as part of the Add-on Product/Service.
11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the WatchGuard License Key, the WatchGuard Firebox Software End-User
License Agreement, any software end-user license agreements accompanying the Software licensed to Customer, and any
agreement between Customer and WatchGuard explicitly stating that the terms of such agreement control over the terms of
any of the agreements listed in this sentence in the case of any conflict or inconsistency, constitutes the entire Agreement
between WatchGuard and Customer and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous statements, representations and
agreements, written or oral, with regard to the Add-on Product/Service. If the Customer has purchased the right to utilize the
Add-on Product/Service on additional WatchGuard products, this Agreement will therefore supersede all prior customer
agreements/end-user license agreements applicable to the same Add-on Product/Service and the terms of this Agreement shall
govern all uses of this Add-on Product/Service by Customer. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written
instrument executed by both parties or by Customer accepting a subsequent customer agreement for this Add-on Product/
Service provided by WatchGuard.

GNU Lesser General Public License
Some components of the WatchGuard System Manager software distribute with source code covered
under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Version 2.1, February 1999
Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2,
hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for
all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully
about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive
source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you
are informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we
gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must
provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library
and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the
original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Licenses
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company
cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist
that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this
license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We
use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally
speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such
linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for
linking other code with the library.
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary
General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs.
These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license
provides advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it
becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that
a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to
free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large
body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use
the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program
that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference
between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library,
whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called
“this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application
programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on
the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what
the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License
along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the
facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in
the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its
purpose remains meaningful.
476
WatchGuard System Manager
Licenses
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be
optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for
other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on
a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the
Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public
License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has
appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library,
and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because
it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License.
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may
be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work
can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)
Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce
a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you
must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this
License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable
linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so
that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is
understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the
application to use the modified definitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
copy of the library already present on the user's computer system rather than copying library functions into the executable, and
(2) operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interfacecompatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the
above specified materials from the same place.
User Guide
477
Licenses
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything
that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an
executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work
based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from
the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not
impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at
all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he
or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it
and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with
these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all
its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source
code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission
to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this
free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it
clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a
copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy
and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do
not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus
the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components
(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program
at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he
or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

WatchGuard System Manager
Licenses
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to
it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to
the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY
OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR
OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU OR SOURCEFIRE BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
WORK STOPPAGE, SECURITY BREACHES OR FAILURES, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER

inadequate, in addition to its other remedies: (a) demand return of the VRT Certified Rules; (b) forbid and enjoin your further use
of the VRT Certified Rules; (c) assess you a use fee appropriate to your actual use of the VRT Certified Rules.
12. United States Government Users.

prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier), then the Government's rights in the VRT Certified Rules and Modifications shall
be subject to Sourcefire's standard commercial terms and only as set forth in this Agreement; and only with "Limited Rights" and
"Restricted Rights" as defined the federal regulations if the commercial terms are deemed not to apply.

held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This Agreement
shall be governed by Maryland law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its
conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the state and Federal
Courts serving Greenbelt, Maryland, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. You hereby submit to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this Agreement. Headings and
section references are used for reference only and shall not be used to define, limit or describe such section.

WatchGuard File Locations
This appendix gives the locations where common data files are kept by the WatchGuard® System Manager software. Because it is possible to configure the Windows operating system (OS) to put these
directories on different disk drives, you must know the correct location of these files based on the configuration of Windows on your computer.
It is also possible to configure log files to be kept in a different directory than other installation files. If
you change the default location of log files, these default locations do not apply.
If you are using an OS version that is not English, you must translate directory names (such as “Documents and Settings” or “Program Files”) to match the OS language you use.

Default File Locations
These tables give the default locations where the WatchGuard® software applications and servers look
for their data files or for data files created by users (such as Firebox® configuration files). In some cases,
the default location changes based on where the software application opened a file of a similar type. In
these cases, the software application remembers the last place the file was read/written and looks in
that location first.
Because it is possible to configure the Windows operating system (OS) to put these directories on different disk drives, you must determine the exact location of these files based on the configuration of
Windows on your computer.
It is also possible to configure log files to be kept in a different directory than other installation files. If
you change the default location of log files, these default locations do not apply.
If you are using an OS version that is not English, you must translate directory names (such as “Documents and Settings” or “Program Files”) to match the OS language you use.

Appendix C
Types of Policies
This chapter gives a list of the pre-defined policies included with Fireware® appliance software, their
protocols, and their ports. It also gives special information about circumstances that could have an
effect on the security of some policies.
In this chapter, policies are divided into two groups—policies that are controlled by a packet filter and
policies that are controlled by a proxy.
Packet Filter Policies
Packet filter policies examine the source and destination headers of each packet. Packets are allowed
or denied based on if the headers appear to come from and go to trusted addresses.
Any
Use an Any policy only to allow all traffic between two specified trusted IP or network addresses. An
Any policy opens a “hole” through the Firebox®, and allows all traffic to flow freely between specified
hosts. We recommend that the Any policy be used only for traffic through a VPN.
The Any policy is different from other policies. For example, if you allow FTP only to a specified host, all
other FTP sessions to other hosts are denied by that policy (unless you have also configured other FTP
policies). The Any policy does not deny like other policies.
You also cannot use an Any policy unless specified IP addresses, network addresses, host aliases, group
names, or user names are used in the From or To lists. If not, the Any policy does not operate.
Characteristics

archie
archie is a search protocol used to find files on FTP servers. We recommend that you use the available
web interfaces to archie. A current list of archie servers is available through anonymous FTP from:

Packet Filter Policies
ftp://microlib.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/mac/info/archie-servers.txt
External hosts can be spoofed. The Firebox cannot make sure that these packets were sent from the
correct location. You can configure your Firebox to add the source IP address to the Blocked Sites list
when an incoming archie connection is denied. You can use all of the usual log options with archie.
Characteristics
•
Internet Protocol(s): UDP

Port Number(s): 1525
auth
The Authentication Server protocol (AUTH) has a new name. It is now called the Identification Protocol
(IDENT). Refer to IDENT for more information about this policy.
BGP
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used across most of the Internet. It is a highly
configurable protocol that can add redundancy to links to and from the Internet for LANs. We recommend that you use this service only if you have enabled and configured BGP in the dynamic routing
processes in the Fireware® configuration.
Characteristics
•
Internet Protocol(s): TCP
•
Port Number(s): 179
Citrix
Citrix, or Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), is an application protocol used by Citrix software
applications such as Winframe and Metaframe Presentation Server (MPS). Winframe gives access to a
Windows computer from different types of clients that use TCP port 1494. Citrix MPS 3.0 uses ICA with
Session Reliability over TCP port 2598. If you use Citrix MPS, you must add a custom policy for TCP port
2598. If you add the Citrix policy, you could put your network security at risk because it allows remote
access to computers through the firewall without authentication. The threat to a Winframe or MPS
server includes denial-of-service attacks. We recommend that you use VPN options to give more security for ICA connections. You can use all of the usual log options with WinFrame.

HTTPS
HTTPS is a secure and encrypted version of the HTTP protocol. The client and the web server set up an
encrypted session on TCP port 443. Because this session is encrypted, the proxy cannot examine
packet contents using a proxy. This policy uses a packet filter to examine the connection.
Characteristics

IDENT
The Identification Protocol (IDENT) is a protocol used to match TCP connections to a user name. It is
used most frequently by large public SMTP and FTP servers. It is used for logs, but you cannot trust the
information it gives, as attackers can change their servers to have them send back incorrect information. IDENT uses false information to hide internal user information.
When you use incoming static NAT with SMTP, you might see packets that come from the remote mail
server being denied with destination port 113. In these cases, you can add an IDENT policy to Policy
Manager. Configure IDENT to allow incoming connections to: Firebox. This enables outgoing mail
messages from behind the Firebox to the few SMTP servers on the Internet that use IDENT.
If you are not using dynamic NAT, allow IDENT to the IP address of your email server.
We recommend that IDENT policies be allowed to and from the Firebox, but know that hackers can use
IDENT to collect user names.
Characteristics

IGMP
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is the standard for IP multicasting on the Internet. It
is used to control host memberships in multicast groups on a single network. When you add an IGMP
policy to your Fireware configuration, Fireware does not pass IGMP multicast traffic through the Firebox or between Firebox interfaces. It only passes IGMP multicast traffic between an interface and the
Firebox.
Characteristics

PPTP
PPTP is a VPN tunnel protocol with encryption. It uses one TCP port (for negotiation and authentication
of a VPN connection) and one IP protocol (for data transfer) to connect the two peers in a VPN. Configure the PPTP policy to allow access from Internet hosts to an internal network PPTP server. PPTP cannot
get access to hosts’ static NAT because NAT cannot forward IP protocols. Because this policy enables a
tunnel to the PPTP server and the Firebox cannot examine packets in the tunnel, use of this policy must

This policy serves as the default policy for all TCP and UDP connections, and other policies override it.
Connections that do not match specified policies in Policy Manager do not complete unless TCP-UDP,
TCP and UDP, or the TCP Proxy are also configured in Policy Manager. This policy does not enable
active mode FTP, which operates only with an FTP policy.
Telnet
The telnet policy is used to log in to a remote computer. It is almost the same as dial-up access, but the
connection is made across a network.

Timbuktu
Timbuktu Pro is remote control and file transfer software used to get access to Windows computers.
The protocol uses TCP port 1417 and UDP port 407. Add the Timbuktu policy and allow access from the
hosts on the Internet that must get access to internal Timbuktu servers, and to the internal Timbuktu
servers.
Timbuktu is not a very secure software application and can put network security at risk. It allows traffic
inside the firewall without authentication. In addition, the Timbuktu server can receive denial-of-service attacks. We recommend that you use VPN options for more security.

Traceroute
Traceroute is a software application that creates maps of networks. It is used for network troubleshooting, network route troubleshooting, and finding the Internet service provider of a site. The WatchGuard
traceroute policy controls UNIX-based, UDP-style traceroute only. For a DOS-based or Windows-based
traceroute packet filter, use the ping policy (see “ping” on page 42).
Traceroute uses ICMP and UDP packets to create paths across networks. It uses the UDP TTL field to
send back packets from each router and computer between a source and a destination. If you allow
traceroute to computers protected by your Firebox®, this can enable a hacker to create a map of your
private network.

WAIS
Wide Area Information Services (WAIS) is a protocol you can use to find documents on the Internet.
Thinking Machines Incorporated first developed WAIS. Some web sites use WAIS to look for searchable
indices, but it is not used frequently.
WAIS is created on the ANSI Z39.50 search protocol, and the words Z39.50 and WAIS refer to the same
technology.

WinFrame
Citrix ICA is a protocol used by Citrix for its software applications, which includes the Winframe product. Winframe gives access to Windows from different types of clients. Citrix uses TCP port 1494 for its
ICA protocol. Citrix MPS 3.0 uses Session Reliability by default. This changes the ICA protocol to use TCP
2598. If you use Citrix MPS, you must add a policy for TCP port 2598.
A WinFrame policy could put your network security at risk because it allows traffic through the firewall
without authentication. In addition, your Winframe server can receive denial-of-service attacks. We recommend that you use VPN options to give more security for ICA connections. You can use all of the
usual log options with WinFrame.

Proxy Policies
This section reviews the proxy policies supplied by the WatchGuard® System Manager. A proxy policy
opens packets, strips out forbidden data types in the packet content, and assembles the packets again
using the source and destination headers of the proxy.
You configure and activate proxies the same way you add packet filter policies.
DNS-proxy
Domain Name Service (DNS) matches host names to IP addresses. The DNS proxy policy examines the
contents of DNS packets to help protect your DNS servers from hackers. It puts limits on the type of
operations allowed in a DNS query and can look for specified patterns in query names.
Characteristics
•
Internet Protocol(s): TCP and UDP
•
Port Number(s): TCP 53 and UDP 53
FTP-proxy
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to send files from one computer to a different computer over a TCP/
IP network. The FTP client is usually a computer. The FTP server can be a resource that keeps files on
the same network or on a different network. The FTP client can be in one of two modes for data transfer: active or passive. In active mode, the server starts a connection to the client on source port 20. In
passive mode, the client uses a previously negotiated port to connect to the server. The Fireware FTP
proxy monitors and scans these FTP connections between your users and FTP servers they connect to.

Port Number: 21
HTTP-proxy
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a request/response protocol between clients and servers. The
HTTP client is usually a web browser. The HTTP server is a remote resource that keeps or creates HTML
files, images, and other content. When the HTTP client starts a request, it establishes a Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) connection on port 80. An HTTP server listens for requests on port 80. When it
receives the request from the client, the server replies with the requested file, an error message, or
some other information.
The WatchGuard policy “HTTP Proxy” is not the same as an HTTP caching proxy. An HTTP caching proxy
controls the caching of Web data. If you use an external caching proxy, you must enable (by adding
policies) any outgoing policies that are necessary for your organization. If you do not, outgoing TCP
connections do not operate correctly.
Characteristics
•
Internet Protocol(s): TCP
•
Port Number(s): 80 (but servers can operate on any port, a common alternative is 8080, and
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections are usually served on port 443)
POP3-proxy
Post Office Protocol v.3 (POP3) is a protocol that moves email messages from an email server to an
email client on a TCP connection on port 110. Most Internet-based email accounts use POP3. With
POP3, an email client contacts the email server and checks for any new email messages. If it finds a new
message, it downloads the email message to the local email client. After the message is received by the
email client, the connection is closed.
Characteristics
•
Internet Protocol(s): TCP
•
Port Number(s): 110
SMTP-proxy
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the Internet standard protocol used to transmit and receive
email messages. Usually SMTP servers are public servers. You use the SMTP proxy to control email messages and email content. The proxy scans SMTP messages for a number of filtered parameters, and compares them against the rules set in the proxy configuration.
When you use incoming static NAT with SMTP, you might see packets that come from the remote mail
server being denied with destination port 113. In these cases, you can add an IDENT policy to Policy
Manager. Configure IDENT to allow incoming connections to: Firebox. This enables outgoing mail
messages from behind the Firebox to the few SMTP servers on the Internet that use IDENT.
If you do not want to use the SMTP proxy but want to use SMTP, but have SMTP operate correctly, add
a packet filter SMTP policy that uses TCP protocol and port 25.

Proxy Policies
TCP-proxy
The TCP Proxy policy gives configuration options for HTTP on port 80 and adds a rule that allows TCP
connections from networks behind the Firebox® to networks external to the Firebox by default. The
TCP Proxy rule makes sure that all HTTP traffic from behind the Firebox on all ports is proxied with the
HTTP proxy rules.
We recommend that you allow HTTP only to any public HTTP servers kept behind the Firebox. External
hosts can be spoofed. WatchGuard cannot make sure that these packets were sent from the correct
location.
Configure WatchGuard to add the source IP address to the Blocked Sites list when an HTTP connection
to a host behind your Firebox is denied. Configure the parameters and MIME types the same as you do
for the HTTP Proxy.
