WatchGuard System Manager
CHAPTER 1
Introduction
WatchGuard® System Manager gives you an easy and efficient way to manage your network security.
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 three WSM server components. WatchGuard System Manager also provides access to other
WatchGuard tools, including Policy Manager and Firebox System Manager. The following diagram
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.
2
WatchGuard System Manager
About the WatchGuard System Manager Window
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
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:
User Guide
3
About WatchGuard Servers
- 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.
- 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 three types of WatchGuard server
software:
• Management Server
• Log Server
• WebBlocker Server
The WatchGuard toolbar is one of the toolbars in the Windows System Tray at the bottom 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-anddrop 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
4
WatchGuard System Manager
About Fireware and Fireware Pro
- 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.
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. Its
advanced network features include dynamic routing, High Availability, and QoS. 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.
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
starts. If you add a Firebox X700 operating with Fireware appliance software and click the Policy Manager icon, Policy Manager for Fireware starts.

CHAPTER 2
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, and WebBlocker Server 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.
Note
This chapter gives the default information for a Firebox with a three-interface configuration. If your
Firebox has more than three interfaces, use the configuration tools and procedures in the “Network
Configuration” chapter.
Installation requirements
Before you install WatchGuard System Manager, make sure that you have these items:
• WatchGuard Firebox security device
• A serial cable (blue)

Collecting network information
License keys
Collect your license key certificates. Your WatchGuard Firebox comes with a LiveSecurity license key that
enables the features on your Firebox.
You get the license keys 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.
Network IP Addresses Without the Firebox

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.
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.
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).
User Guide
9
Installing WatchGuard System Manager
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 dropin 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.
10
WatchGuard System Manager
Installing WatchGuard System Manager
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.
• 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 three WatchGuard System Manager
server components on the same computer. Or you can use the same installation procedure to install the
Log Server and WebBlocker 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 the Management Server, Log Server, or WebBlocker Server 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 your 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 staUser Guide

tion, you must have administrative privileges. After installation, you can operate with Windows XP or
Windows 2003 Power User privileges.
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 Web 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.
Note
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 WatchGuard® WFS to Fireware Pro Migration Guide.
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:
• Configure the policies on the Firebox to let necessary traffic through
12
WatchGuard System Manager
Quick Setup Wizard
• 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
Firebox X Core and Peak e-Series Web Quick Setup Wizard
When you purchase a Firebox X Core or Peak e-Series device, you can use the new Web Quick Setup Wizard to configure your Firebox. If you have configured a Firebox X Core or X Peak before, it is important for
you to 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 Firebox X Core and Peak e-Series and 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 Eth1
Ethernet interface 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-based 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 as passphrases are sent in plain-text format.
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
3
Plug the power cord into the Firebox power input and into a power source.
On the front of the Firebox X, press the up arrow button while you turn on the power to the Firebox.
The Firebox X boots into Safe Mode. You can release the up arrow button when you see the message “Invoking
Recovery”.
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.
If you leave the Web Quick Setup Wizard idle for 15 minutes or more, you must go back to step 3
and start again.
This opens an HTTP connection between your management station and the Firebox X e-Series device. The Web Quick
Setup Wizard starts automatically.
After the Firebox is configured with this basic configuration, you can use Policy Manager to expand or
change the Firebox configuration.
User Guide
13
Putting the Firebox into Operation
Using the Web Quick Setup Wizard for recovery
You can use the Web Quick Setup Wizard when you first configure your Firebox X e-Series 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. Here are some things to check if you have problems with the wizard:
• 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.
Quick Setup Wizard
If you use an older model Firebox X Core or Peak (not an e-Series Firebox), then you must use the Quick
Setup Wizard that runs as a Windows application to make a basic configuration file. 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 9.0 > Quick Setup
Wizard. From System Manager, select Tools > Quick Setup Wizard.
Note
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.
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.
Complete these steps to put the Firebox into operation on your network:
14
WatchGuard System Manager
Starting WatchGuard System Manager
• Put the Firebox in its permanent physical location.
• Make sure the management station and the rest of the trusted network use the IP address of the
Firebox’s trusted interface as their gateway.
• In WatchGuard® System Manager, use File > Connect To Device to connect the management
station to the Firebox.
• If you use a routed configuration, change the default gateway on all computers that you connect
to the Firebox trusted IP address.

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 filtered
and proxied 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. 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
User Guide
17
Upgrading to a New Version of Fireware
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 proxied 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 68.
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.
3
Launch the file or files that you downloaded from the LiveSecurity web site and use the on-screen
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\9.0 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 8.3 or Earlier
Downgrading to WSM 8.3 or Earlier
If you have problems when you upgrade your management station to 9.0, 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 v8.3).
2

4
Open Policy Manager v8.3 and select File > Upgrade to install Fireware v8.3.
Run the v8.3 Quick Setup Wizard and use it to save a basic configuration to the Firebox.
Open your policy in Policy Manager v8.3 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, 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, 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. Thus, 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 there is one more network 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 Web 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
Note
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.

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.

WatchGuard System Manager
Seeing Basic Firebox and Network Status
Seeing 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.
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
User Guide
33
Seeing Basic Firebox and Network Status
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.
Firebox and VPN tunnel status
The section in Firebox System Manager to the right side of the front panel shows:
• Status of the Firebox
• Certificates
• Branch office VPN tunnels
• Mobile user and PPTP VPN tunnels
• Viruses, intrusions, and spam email messages found
Firebox Status
In the Firebox Status section, expand the entries to see:
• Status of the High Availability feature. When it has a correct configuration and is available, the IP
address of the standby Firebox appears. If High Availability is installed, but there is no network
connection to the secondary Firebox, a “Not Responding” message appears.
• The IP address of each Firebox interface and the configuration mode of the external interface.
• Status of the CA (root) certificate and the IPSec (client) certificate.
34
WatchGuard System Manager
Seeing Basic Firebox and Network Status
If you again expand the entries in the Firebox System Manager main window, you can see:
• IP address and netmask of each configured interface
• The Media Access Control (MAC) address of each interface
• Number of packets that are sent and received since the last Firebox restart
• End date and time of CA and IPSec certificates
• CA fingerprint
• Status of the physical link (an interface or link icon in color means an interface or link is
configured, and a dark icon indicates the interface or link is down)
Branch Office VPN Tunnels
Below the Firebox Status section is a section on BOVPN tunnels. There are two types of IPSec BOVPN
tunnels: tunnels you create manually (manual BOVPN tunnels) and tunnels you create with the Management Server (managed BPOVPN tunnels). The Firebox keeps a short history of the BOVPN tunnels created and used. Firebox System Manager shows the current tunnel status, and up to three historical
records for each VPN tunnel.
If there are no active tunnels, Firebox System Manager shows only the tunnel history. 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 there has not yet been tunnel negotiation. No traffic
has been sent through the VPN tunnel.
Expired
The BOVPN tunnel was active, but is no longer active because there is no traffic on the tunnel or
because the link between the gateways is lost.
PPTP User VPN Tunnels
For PPTP User VPN tunnels, Firebox System Manager shows the user name, IP address information, and
the quantity of sent and received packets.
Mobile User VPN Tunnels
For Mobile User VPN tunnels, Firebox System Manager shows the user name and the quantity of sent
and received packets.

Learning more about a traffic log message
To learn more about a traffic log message, you can:
Copy the IP address of the source or destination
Make a copy of the source or destination IP address of a traffic log message, and paste it into a
different software application. To copy the source IP address, right-click the message, and
select Source IP Address > Copy Source IP Address. To copy the destination IP address, rightclick the message, and select Destination IP Address > Copy Destination IP Address.
Ping the source or destination
To ping the source or destination IP address of a traffic log message, do this: Right-click the
message, and select Source IP Address > Ping or Destination IP Address > Ping. A pop-up
window shows the results.
Trace the route to the source or destination
To use a traceroute command to the source or destination IP address of a traffic log message,
do this: Right-click the message, and select Source IP Address > Trace Route or Destination
IP Address > Trace Route. A pop-up window shows you the results of the traceroute
operation.
If the traceroute operation takes longer than two minutes, the Firebox returns an error. While
the traceroute operation runs, information on other FSM tabs cannot refresh because
management traffic to the Firebox is temporarily blocked.
Temporarily block the IP address of the source or destination
To temporarily block all traffic from a source or destination IP address of a traffic log message,
do this: Right-click the message, select Source IP Address > Block: [IP address] or Destination
IP Address > Block: [IP address]. The length of time that an IP address is temporarily blocked by
this command is set in Policy Manager. To use this command you must give the configuration
password.
Clearing the ARP Cache
The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache on the Firebox® keeps the hardware addresses (also
known as MAC addresses) of TCP/IP hosts. Before an ARP request starts, the system makes sure that a
hardware address is in the cache. You must clear the ARP cache on the Firebox after installation when
your network has a drop-in configuration.
1
2
From Firebox System Manager, select Tools > Clear ARP Cache.
Type the Firebox configuration passphrase. Click OK.
This flushes the cache entries.
38
WatchGuard System Manager
Using the Performance Console
When a Firebox is in drop-in mode, this procedure clears only the content of the ARP table and not the
MAC table. The oldest MAC entries in the MAC table are removed if the table has more than 2000
entries. If you want to clear the MAC table, you must restart the Firebox.
Using the Performance Console
The Performance Console is a Firebox® utility that you use to make graphs that show how different parts
of the Firebox are operating. To get the information, you define the counters that identify the information that is used to make the graph.
Types of counters
You can monitor these types of performance counters:
System Information
Show how the CPU is used.
Interfaces
Monitor and report on the events of selected interfaces. For example, you can set up a counter
that monitors the number of packets a specified interface receives.
Policies
Monitor and report on the events of selected policies. For example, you can set up a counter
that monitors the number of packets that a specified policy examines.
VPN Peers
Monitor and report on the events of selected VPN policies.
Tunnels
Monitor and report on the events of selected VPN tunnels.

6
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.

List, Blocked Sites, and Security Services.
Status Report
The Status Report tab gives you statistics about Firebox traffic and performance.
The Firebox Status Report contains this information:
Uptime and version information
The Firebox uptime, the WatchGuard® Firebox System software version, the Firebox model, and
appliance software version. There is also a list of the status and version of the product
components on the Firebox.
Log Servers
The IP addresses of all configured Log Servers.
Logging options
Log message options that are configured with the Quick Setup Wizard or Policy Manager.
Memory and load average
Statistics on the memory use (shown in bytes of memory) and load average of the Firebox.
The load average has three values that typically show an average over the last minute, 5
minutes, and 15 minutes. Values over 1.00 (100%) indicate some threads are queued until
resources are available. (A system load that exceeds 1.00 does not mean the system is
overloaded.)

Viewing Information About Firebox Status
Processes
The process ID, the name of the process, and the status of the process.
Network configuration
Information about the network cards in the Firebox: the interface name, its hardware and
software addresses, and its netmask. The display also includes local routing information, IP
aliases, and reserved DHCP leases.
Blocked Sites list
The current manually blocked sites and any current exceptions. Temporarily blocked site entries
appear on the permanent Blocked Sites tab.
Interfaces
Each Firebox interface appears in this section, along with information about the type of
interface it is configured as (external, trusted, or optional), its status, and packet count.
Routes
The Firebox kernel routing table. You use these routes to find which Firebox interface is used
for each destination address.
Dynamic routes that have been accepted by the dynamic routing daemon appear here as well.
ARP table
The ARP table on the Firebox. The ARP table is used to match IP addresses to hardware
addresses. (When an appliance is in drop-in mode, use the contents of the ARP table only to
troubleshoot connectivity over secondary networks on the interfaces.)
Total Dynamic Network Address Translation (DNAT) entries
Number of used and available entries.
Multi-WAN status
Information on gateways and sticky connections. Also includes the sticky connections table.
Dynamic Routing
This shows dynamic routing components in use on the Firebox, if any.
Refresh interval
This is the rate at which this display updates the information.
Support
Click Support to open the Support Logs dialog box. This is where you set the location to which
you save the diagnostic log file. You save a support log in tarzipped (*.tgz) format. You create
this file for troubleshooting, when asked by your support representative.

Viewing Information About Firebox Status
IP Address
The internal IP address being used by the user. For MUVPN and PPTP users, the IP address
shown here is the IP address assigned to them by the Firebox.
From Address
The IP address on the computer the user authenticates from. For MUVPN and PPTP users, the IP
address shown here is the IP address on the computer they used to connect to the Firebox. For
Firewall users, the IP Address and From Address are the same.
You can click the column headers to sort users. You can also remove an authenticated user from the list.
To do this, right-click their user name and then stop their authenticated session.
Blocked Sites
The Blocked Sites List tab of Firebox System Manager shows the IP addresses of all the external IP
addresses that are temporarily blocked. Many events can cause the Firebox to add an IP address to the
Blocked Sites tab: a port space probe, a spoofing attack, an address space probe, or an event you configure.
Adjacent to each IP address is the time when it comes off the Blocked Sites tab. You can use the
Blocked Sites dialog box in Policy Manager to adjust the length of time that an IP address stays on the
list.
Adding and removing sites
Add allows you to temporarily add a site to the Blocked Sites list. Click Change Expiration to
change the time at which this site is deleted from the list. Delete removes the site from the
Blocked Sites list.

Using 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. To select an interface, right-click the current interface name. Select the new interface.
Double-click an item on one of the sides to get the Connections For dialog box for connections that
involve that item. The dialog box shows information about the connection, and includes the IP
addresses, port number, time, connection type, and direction.

Working with SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a set of tools for monitoring and managing networks.
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.

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.
The Firebox supports these read-only object MIBs:
- RFC1155-SMI
- SNMPv2-SMI
- RFC1213-MIB
- RAPID-MIB
- RAPID-SYSTEM-CONFIG-MIB
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. Make a new acronym that only you know.
• 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.
62
WatchGuard System Manager
Recovering a Firebox
An additional security measure is to change the Firebox passphrases at regular intervals. To do this, you
must have the configuration passphrase.

2
From Policy Manager, open the configuration file on the Firebox.
Click File > Change Passphrases.
The Change Passphrases dialog box appears.
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.

7
When you are ready, select File > Save > To Firebox. Save your configuration to the Firebox at IP
address 10.0.1.1, with the administrative passphrase “admin”.
8
After the Firebox restarts with its new configuration, it is a good idea to change the passphrases for
the Firebox. Select File > Change Passphrases to set new passphrases.
9
You can now put the Firebox back on to your network and connect to it with the IP addresses and
passphrases you set in your new configuration.
If you did not change the IP address or passphrase, you can connect to the trusted IP address
10.0.1.1 with the passphrase “admin”.

CHAPTER 6
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 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
Opening a working configuration file
A common task for a network administrator is to make a change to your current security policy. For
example, your business purchases a new software application, and you must open a port and protocol

• 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
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. You can open configuration files that are on any network drive to which your management station can connect.

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.

before you connect to the Firebox again.
If you cannot successfully restore your Firebox image, you can reset the Firebox with the procedure
shown in “Recovering a Firebox” on page 63.
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:
• 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.
User Guide
69
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 137.
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

Using Global Settings
2
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,
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.
72
WatchGuard System Manager
Using Global Settings
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.
Limit to
You set a size adjustment limit.
Defining global authentication settings
The global authentication settings are:
Session Timeout
Maximum length of time the user can send traffic to the external network. If this field is set to
zero (0) minutes, there is no session timeout 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). A setting of zero (0) minutes means there is no idle timeout and the user
can stay idle for any length of time.
For both authentication timeout fields, the values in the Setup Firebox User dialog box (from Policy
Manager, select Setup > Authentication > Authentication Servers, and then click Add in the Users
box) override the global settings. The global settings for the Firebox are used if no values are set in the
Setup Firebox User dialog box. For more information, see “About authentication timeout values” on
page 138.
These global timeouts do not apply to PPTP users.
User Guide
73
Using Global VPN Settings
Allowing multiple concurrent logins
Select the Allow multiple concurrent 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.
Disabling Traffic Management and QoS
Disable all traffic management and QoS features. You might want to disable these features if you do
performance testing or network debugging.
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 following settings for your VPN tunnels:
IPSec Pass-through
If a user must make IPSec connections to a Firebox from behind a different Firebox, you must
keep the 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 passthrough 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 286.
74
WatchGuard System Manager
Creating Schedules
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.
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 369.
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
the “Policies” chapter.

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

CHAPTER 7
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 WSM.
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.

Log file size and rollover frequency
You can control the log rollover by size or by time. When this rollover occurs, the Log Server closes the
current log file and opens a new log file. The closed log file can be used for reports. Copy or move it to a
different location to save it for archives.
To find the best rollover size for your company, you must look at:
• Storage space that is available
• Number of days you want available
• Size that is best to keep, open, and view
• Number of event types that are recorded
For example, a small company can get 10,000 entries in two weeks, and a large company with
many policies enabled can easily have 100,000 entries in a day.
• Traffic on the Firebox®
• Number of reports to create
To create a weekly report, it is necessary to have eight or more days of data. This data can be
found in more than one log file, if the log files are in the same location.
It is good to monitor the new log files and adjust the configuration as necessary.

About Log Messages
WatchGuard® System Manager includes strong and flexible log message tools. An important feature of a
good network security policy is to log 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.

About Log Messages
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
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 83.

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.
Right-click the Log Server icon on your Windows toolbar and select Merge Log Files. Or, from the Log
Server Status/Configuration interface:
1
Click File > Merge log files.
The Merge Logfiles dialog box appears.

3
Click Browse to find the files to put together.
Click Merge.
The log files are put together and saved to a new file in the specified directory.
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 Fireware FAQs at:
www.watchguard.com/support/FAQs.
There is an FAQ that 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.

Using LogViewer
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.
To convert a log file from .wgl to .xml:
1
Right-click the Log Server icon on your Windows desktop tray and select Merge Log Files.
The Merge Logfiles dialog box appears. This dialog box controls merges, and also updates, of log files.
2
Click Browse to find the location of the logfile.wgl to convert to XML. If you select more than one
log file at one time, the utility converts all of the files you select and puts them together into one
file. The new file has an .xml format.
3
Click Merge.
The utility converts the log file and saves it to the specified folder.

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 Firebox Interfaces
Configuring the external interface
The Firebox can get a dynamic IP address for the external interface with Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) or PPPoE (Point-to-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 makes a PPPoE protocol connection to the PPPoE server of your ISP. Fireware® supports unnumbered and static PPPoE.

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.

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
stay connected when idle (not passing any traffic to the external network).

IP addresses assigned by a DHCP server have a one-day lease, which means the address is valid for
one day. If you want to change the leasing time, select the Leasing Time check box and 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.
Note
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® must 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:
• The Firebox uses the DNS server shown here to resolve names to IP addresses for IPSec VPNs and
for the spamBlocker, GAV, 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.
User Guide
101
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.

as “kunstler_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
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 from its interfaces to a router. 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.
The WatchGuard® Users Forum is a good source of data about network routes and routers. Use your
LiveSecurity service to find more information.

You can set traffic management and QoS parameters on a per-interface basis. For more information, see
the “Traffic Management and Quality or Service” chapter.
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 T0S 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.
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 dropin 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:
• You must assign the same primary IP address to all interfaces on your Firebox (external, trusted,
and optional).
106
WatchGuard System Manager
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.
Note
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 to only 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.
108
WatchGuard System Manager
Defining a New VLAN
Because VLANs are software based, you can quickly and easily adapt your network to additions, relocations, and reorganizations.
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.
• WatchGuard’s 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.
Note
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.

CHAPTER 9
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 configured to use the Routing Table method by default.
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
your 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 177.
• 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 your 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:
• The From list includes “Firebox”.
User Guide
115
MultiWAN 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.
MultiWAN 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 your external interfaces, you select one
external interface to be your 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 your 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
116
WatchGuard System Manager
MultiWAN Options
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.
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 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.
• There is an external site or external network that you must get access to 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 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 your 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.
User Guide
117
Configuring the Multi-WAN Routing Table Option
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.

and select the Status Report tab. Scroll down until you see Kernel IP routing table. This shows the
internal route table on the Firebox. The ECMP group information appears below the routing table.
Routes in the internal route table on the Firebox include:
• The routes the Firebox learns from dynamic routing processes running on the Firebox (RIP, OSPF,
and BGP) if you enable dynamic routing.

Use the Link Monitor tab to set the method and frequency you want the Firebox to use to check the
status of each WAN interface. If you do not configure a specified method for the Firebox to use, it will
ping the interface default gateway to check interface status.
If a link monitor host does not respond, it can take from 40 seconds to 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 to 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.

computer that the Firebox can negotiate a TCP handshake with to check the status of the 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.

Sticky Connections
A sticky connection is a connection that continues to use the same WAN interface for a defined period
of time. You can configure sticky connection parameters if you use the Round-robin or Interface Overflow configuration options for multi-WAN. 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
three minutes. Use the Advanced tab to configure a global sticky connection duration for TCP connections, UDP connections, and connections that use other protocols.
You can override the multi-WAN sticky connection settings in any individual policy. Open a policy for
edit and select the Advanced tab to change the sticky connection settings for a policy.
Failback
Use the drop-down list in the Failback for Active Connections box to set the action you want the Firebox to take when a failover event has occurred and then the primary external interface becomes active
again. When this occurs, all new connections immediately fail back to the primary external interface.
You select the method you want to use for connections in process at the time of failback. Select Immediate failback if you want the Firebox to immediately stop all existing connections. Select Gradual failback if you want the Firebox to continue to use the failover interface for existing connections until each
connection is complete.
This failback setting also applies to any policy-based routing configuration you set to use failover external interfaces.

CHAPTER 10
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.
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.
Static NAT for a policy
Also known as port forwarding, you configure static NAT when you configure policies, as
described in “Configuring Policy Properties” on page 175. 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
User Guide
129
Types of 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 rules
in the sequence that they appear in the Dynamic NAT Entries list. We recommend that you put the rules
in a sequence that matches the volume of traffic the rules apply to.

Click OK.
The new entry appears in the Dynamic NAT Entries list.
Reordering dynamic NAT entries
To change the sequence of the dynamic NAT entries, select the entry to change. Then click Up or Down.
You cannot change a dynamic NAT entry. If a change is necessary, you must delete the entry with
Remove. Use Add to enter it again.
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
User Guide
131
Using 1-to-1 NAT
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, bidirectional 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.

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.
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. 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.

Configuring Policy-Based Dynamic or 1-to-1 NAT
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 Network > NAT dialog
box.

After you configure a global 1-to-1 NAT rule, you must configure the NAT base IP addresses in the
appropriate policies. In the example given above, we must configure our SMTP policy to allow SMTP
traffic from Any to 50.1.1.1-50.1.1.5.
Note
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

If you selected All traffic in this policy, you can set a dynamic NAT source IP address for any policy
that uses dynamic NAT. Select the Set source IP check box to do this. 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. 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
address to the IP address of the interface from which the packet is sent out.
We recommend that you do not use the Set source IP option if you have more than one external
interface configured on your Firebox.

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 there is a proxy on the Firebox® to 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.

CHAPTER 11
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
137
How User Authentication Works
Note
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.
About authentication timeout values
Users are authenticated for some time after they close their last authenticated connection. This timeout
is set by the Firebox administrator in Policy Manager > Setup > Global Settings (as described in
“Defining global authentication settings” on page 73) or in the Setup Firebox User dialog box (as
described in “Defining a new user for Firebox authentication” on page 142). The global setting is used if
the value is not defined in the Setup Firebox User dialog box.
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.
Authentication timeout values do not apply to PPTP users.
If a user is authenticated by a RADIUS or SecurID server
If you configure “Idle-Timeout” and “Session-Timeout” on the RADIUS or SecurId server for the user,
those values take precedence over the timeouts set in Policy Manager > Setup > Global Settings.
If a user is authenticated by an LDAP or Active Directory server
If you configure “Idle Time Attribute String” and “Lease Time Attribute String” as described in “Using
LDAP optional settings” on page 149 or “Using Active Directory optional settings” on page 153 (and the
corresponding attributes are set on the actual LDAP or Active Directory server side), those values take
precedence over the timeouts set in Policy Manager > Setup > Global Settings.
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.

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 traffic 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.
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.
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.
User Guide
139
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
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 142. After
you create the user account, you can make a Firebox User group and put the user in that group.
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.
140
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
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.
User Guide
141
Configuring the Firebox as an Authentication Server
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 page 168.

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.
144
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring RADIUS Server Authentication
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.
To enable RADIUS Server Authentication:
1
From Policy Manager, select Setup > Authentication > Authentication Servers. Click the RADIUS
Server tab.

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.

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”.

In the Login Attribute field, type the LDAP login attribute to use for authentication. The login
attribute is the name used for the bind to the LDAP database.
The default login attribute is uid. If you use uid, the DN of Searching User field and the DN of
Searching Password field can be empty.
10 To add a backup LDAP server, select the Backup Server Settings tab, and select the Enable a
secondary LDAP server check box. Enter the information in the required fields. Make sure the
shared secret is the same on the primary and backup LDAP server.
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.

Configuring LDAP Authentication
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.
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:
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.”

CHAPTER 12
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
You set all default packet handling options with the Default Packet Handling dialog box.

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.
User Guide
157
Using Default Packet Handling Options
2
Select the check box for the traffic patterns you want to prevent, as explained in the sections that
follow. The default configuration sends a log message when one of these events occur. To configure
an SNMP trap or notification for default packet handling, click Logging.
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.
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
158
WatchGuard System Manager
Using Default Packet Handling Options
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.
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 that your servers and clients can receive each second.

Setting Blocked Sites
Setting Blocked Sites
The Blocked Sites feature helps prevent network traffic from systems you know or think are dangerous
or a security risk. After you find the source of suspicious traffic, you can block all the 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 they 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:
• Permanently blocked sites — 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 or removes on a temporary blocked site
list. The Firebox uses the packet handling rules that are specified for each service. 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.
You can use the Temporary Blocked Sites list with log messages to help you make decisions about
which IP addresses to block permanently.
Blocking a site permanently
You use Policy Manager to permanently block a host that you know is a security risk. For example, a university computer that hackers use frequently is a good host to block.

Set the parameters and notification to comply with your security policy:
Send log message
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends a log message when a packet is denied
because of your blocked port configuration. The default configuration of all services is for the
Firebox to send a log message when it denies a packet.
Send SNMP trap
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends an event notification to the SNMP
management system.
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:
- E-mail The Firebox sends an email message when the event occurs. Set the email address in
the Notification tab of the Log Server user interface.
- 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.

3
On the Policy tab, make sure you set the Connections Are drop-down list to Denied.
On the Properties tab, select the check box Automatically block sites that attempt to connect.
IP addresses from the denied packets are added to the temporary Blocked Sites list for 20 minutes (by default).
Blocked sites and Traffic Monitor
When an IP address is in the Blocked Sites list, a traffic log message that involves this address shows the
destination interface as unknown. (From Firebox System Manager, select the Traffic Monitor tab, select
the message, right-click, and select Destination IP 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 the service configurations.
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. But, the new versions have important authentication and security problems.
To supply NFS on the Internet can be very dangerous.
Note
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.
164
WatchGuard System Manager
Blocking Ports
port 8000
Many vendors use this port, and there are many security problems 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 add this port to the Blocked Ports list.
You cannot allow traffic on port 0 through the Firebox.
Note
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.
Avoiding problems with blocked ports
Be very careful if you block port numbers higher than 1023. Clients frequently use these source port
numbers.

CHAPTER 13
Policies
In Policy Manager, there are two categories of policies: packet filters and proxies.
A packet filter examines each packet’s IP and TCP/UDP header and is the most basic feature of a firewall.
It controls the network traffic into and out of your Firebox®. If the packet header information is legitimate, then the Firebox allows the packet. If the packet header information is not legitimate, the Firebox
drops the packet. It can also record a log message or send an error message to the source.
A proxy uses the same procedure to examine the header information as a packet filter, but it also examines the content. If the content does not match the criteria you set, it denies the packet. A proxy operates at the application layer, while a packet filter operates at the network and transport protocol layers.
When you activate a proxy, the Firebox:
• Removes all the network data
• Examines the contents for RFC compliance and content type
• Adds the network data again
• Sends the packet to its destination
A proxy uses more resources and bandwidth than a packet filter. But, a proxy looks for dangerous content that a packet filter cannot find.
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.
Policy Manager shows each packet filter and proxy as an icon. The traffic is allowed or denied, and you
can configure the source and destination. 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 Telnet policy. You can also make a custom packet filter
or proxy for which you set the ports, protocols, and other parameters.
Creating Policies for 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:

About Policy Manager
• Attacks that use new or different IP protocols
• Unknown applications
When you configure the Firebox with the Quick Setup Wizard, you set only the 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:
• 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
We recommend that you set limits on outgoing access when you configure your Firebox.
About Policy Manager
You add policies with Policy Manager. Policy Manager shows icons or a list to identify the policies that
you configure on the Firebox®. For each policy you can:
• Set allowed traffic sources and destinations
• Make filter rules
• Enable or disable the policy
• Configure properties such as Traffic Management, NAT, schedules, and logging

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 policybased 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 if 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 boxautomatically 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).

notification when packets are allowed or denied.
1
From the Properties tab, click Logging.
The Logging and Notification dialog box appears.
2
Set the parameters and notification:
Send log message
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends a log message when it sees traffic of the
type selected in the Category list. Domain name resolution on the Firebox can slow the time for
the Firebox to send the log message to the log file. The default configuration of all policies is for
the Firebox to send a log message when it denies a packet.
Send SNMP Trap
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends an event notification to the SNMP
management system. The trap identifies the occurrence of a condition, such as a threshold that
has exceeded its predetermined value.
Send notification
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends a notification when it sees traffic of the type
selected in the Category list. You set the notification parameters from the Log Server. For more
information on the Log Server, see the “Logging and Notification” chapter.
You can configure the Firebox to do one of these actions:
- Email The Firebox sends an email message when the event occurs. Set the email address in
the Notification tab of the Log Server user interface.
- Pop-up Window The Firebox makes a dialog box appear on the management station when
the event occurs.
You can control the time of notification, together with the Repeat Count. For information
about how to use the Launch Interval and Repeat Count settings, see the subsequent section.
Setting Launch Interval and Repeat Count
You can control the time of the notification, together with the Repeat Count, with these parameters:
Launch Interval
The minimum time (in minutes) between different notifications. This parameter prevents
multiple notifications in a short time for the same event.
180
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring Policy Properties
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.
If the policy you configured is a proxy, a Proxy drop-down list appears with the View/Edit Proxy and
Clone Proxy icons. For information on how to use these options, see the “Configuring Proxied Policies”
chapter in this guide.
Note
One policy manages either allowed or denied traffic, but not both. If you want the Firebox to send log
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
address and port behind the firewall. For more information on NAT, see the “Working with Firewall NAT”
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 to, and which server to send an email 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 connec-

181
Configuring Policy Properties
tion. 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 “Working with Firewall NAT” chapter for more information on 1-to-1 NAT.

Management action, it appears in the Traffic Management drop-down list. For more information, see
“About Traffic Management and QoS” on page 365.

information on these settings, see “Defining ICMP error handling global settings” on page 72.
Applying NAT rules
You can apply Network Address Translation (NAT) rules to a policy:
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 131.
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. If you select the Override per-interface settings check box, the QoS marking for a policy overrides any QoS marking set on an interface.

to 7 (highest priority).
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.
Note
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.

CHAPTER 14
Proxied Policies
Proxy filters do much more than packet filters. A proxy examines the contents of a packet, not only the
header. As a result, the proxy finds 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 knows these content types are not allowed, while a packet filter
cannot detect the unauthorized content in the packet’s data payload.
WatchGuard® proxies also look for application protocol anomalies and packets that are not made correctly. If an SMTP packet is not made correctly or contains unexpected content, it cannot go through the
Firebox®.
Proxy policies operate at the application, network, and transport protocol levels. Packet filter policies
operate at only the network and transport protocol level. In other words, a proxy gets each packet,
removes the network layer, and examines its payload. The proxy then puts the network information
back on the packet and sends it to its destination on your trusted and optional networks. This adds
more work for your firewall for the same volume of network traffic. But a proxy uses methods that
packet filters cannot catch dangerous packets.
About Proxy Actions, Rules, and Rulesets
A ruleset is a group of rules based on one feature of a proxy. 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.
A proxy action is a ruleset defined for the HTTP, SMTP, FTP, DNS, or TCP proxy. You can create more than
one proxy action for each type of proxy, but you can only assign one proxy action to each proxy policy.
For example, you can use one proxy action for packets sent to an email server protected by the Firebox®
and a different proxy action to apply to email messages being sent out through the Firebox to the Internet. You can use the existing proxy actions, or clone an existing proxy action and change it to create a
new proxy action.
A rule includes a type of content, pattern, or expression and the action the Firebox does when a component of the packet’s content matches a rule. Rules also include settings for when the Firebox sends
alarms or if it sends events to the log file.
User Guide
187
About Proxy Actions, Rules, and Rulesets
For most proxy features, the Firebox has a preinstalled ruleset. But you can edit the rules in a ruleset to
change the action for the rules. You can also add your own rules.
The fields you use for these rule definitions look the same for each category of ruleset. The simple view
is shown below. You can also select Change View to see the advanced view.
Use the advanced view to improve the matching function of a proxy. In advanced view, you can configure exact match and Perl-compatible regular expressions. In simple view, you can configure wildcard
pattern matching with simple regular expressions.
Adding rulesets
From the simple view, do these steps to add new rules:
1
In the Pattern text box, type a pattern that uses simple regular expression syntax.
The wildcard for zero or more than one character is “*”.
The wildcard for one character is “?”.
2
Click Add.
The new rule appears in the Rules box.
3
In the Actions to take section, the If matched drop-down list sets the action to do if the contents of
a packet match one of the rules in the list. The None matched drop-down list sets the action to do if
the contents of a packet do not match a rule in the list. Below is a list of all 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 only to SMTP, HTTP, and TCP.
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.
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 135.

WatchGuard System Manager
About Proxy Actions, Rules, and Rulesets
Strip
Removes an attachment from a packet and discards it. The other parts of the packet are sent
through the Firebox to its destination.
Lock
Locks an attachment, and wraps it so that it cannot be opened by the user. Only the
administrator can unlock the file.
AV Scan
Scans the attachment for viruses. If you select this option, Gateway AntiVirus is enabled for the
policy.

An alarm is a mechanism to tell users when a proxy rule applies to network traffic. Use the Alarm
check box to configure an alarm for this event. To set the options for the alarm, select Proxy Alarm
from the Categories list on the left side of a Proxy Configuration window. You can send an SNMP
trap, send email, or open a pop-up window.
5
Use the Log check box to write a traffic log for this event.
Using the advanced rules view
To see a detailed view of the current rules, click Change View. The advanced view shows the action for
each rule. It also has buttons you can use to edit, clone (use an existing rule definition to start a new
one), delete, or reset rules. To go back to the simple view, click Change View again. You cannot go back
to simple view if the enabled rules have different action, alarm, and log settings. In this case, you must
continue to use the advanced view.
Changing the precedence of rules
The Firebox uses these guidelines to apply rules:
• It examines the rules in sequence from the top to the bottom of the window.
• When a filtered item matches a rule, the Firebox performs the related traffic action.
User Guide
189
Customizing Logging and Notification for Proxy Rules
• Content can match more than one of the rules or the default rule, but only the first rule is used.
• The Firebox uses the default rule if no other rule applies. The default rule is always the last rule
that the Firebox applies to the content.
To change the sequence of rules, you must use the advanced view:

Customizing Logging and Notification for Proxy Rules
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 more 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.

Customizing Logging and Notification for Proxy Rules
Using dialog boxes for alarms, log messages, and notification
The dialog boxes for alarms, log messages, and notification in proxy definitions have most or all of these
fields:
Enter it in the log
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends a traffic log message to the Log Server when
this event occurs. The default configuration of all policies is for the Firebox to send a log
message when it denies a packet.
Send SNMP Trap
When you enable this check box, the Firebox sends an event notification to the SNMP
management system. The SNMP trap shows when the traffic matches a condition such as a
property that is more than its threshold value. Note that the bindings section in the SNMP trap
is blank if the trap occurs when SNMP starts or stops, such as with a reset, restart, or failover.
Send notification
When you enable this check box, the Log Server sends a notification when this event occurs.
You can configure the Log Server 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 60.)
domain_name = the name in the Mail Host field on this dialog box.
- Pop-up Window The Log Server 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.
User Guide
191
Configuring the SMTP Proxy
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 message 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 set up as follows:
• Launch interval = 5 minutes
• Repeat count = 4
A port space probe starts at 10:00 AM and continues each minute. This starts the log 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.
Configuring the SMTP Proxy
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.
To configure the SMTP proxy:
1
Add the SMTP proxy to Policy Manager. To learn how to add policies to Policy Manager, see “About
Policy Manager” on page 168.
2
Double-click the SMTP icon and select the Properties tab.
The Edit Policy Properties dialog box appears and shows the General Settings information.

Configuring the SMTP Proxy
Configuring general settings
You use the General Settings fields to configure basic SMTP proxy parameters such as idle timeout and
message limits.
Idle timeout
You can set the length of time an incoming SMTP connection can idle before the connection
times out. The default value is 600 seconds (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
194
WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring the SMTP Proxy
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 1000 bytes, you must set this field to a minimum of 1334 bytes to make sure all email
gets through.
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.
Enable uuencoded attachments
Uuencode is an older program for sending binary files, particularly email attachments, 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.
Send a log message
Select the Send a log message check box 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.
Configuring greeting rules
The proxy examines the initial HELO/EHLO responses during the SMTP session initialization. The default
rules for the SMTP-Incoming proxy action make sure that packets with greetings that are too long, or
include characters that are not correct or expected, are denied.
Configuring ESMTP parameters
You use the ESMTP Settings fields to set the filtering for ESMTP content. Although SMTP is widely
accepted and widely used, some parts of the Internet community have found a need to extend SMTP to

From the Categories section, select ESMTP Settings.
Allow BDAT/CHUNKING
Select to allow BDAT/CHUNKING. This enables large messages to be sent more easily through
SMTP connections.
Allow ETRN (Remote Message Queue Starting)
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 uses SMTP.
Allow Binary MIME
Select to allow the Binary MIME extension, if the sender and receiver accept it. Binary MIME
prevents the overhead of base64 and quoted-printable encoding of binary objects sent that
use the MIME message format with SMTP. We do not recommend you select this option as it can
be a security risk.
Configuring authentication rules
This ruleset allows a number of ESMTP authentication types. The default rule denies all other authentication types. The RFC that tells about the SMTP authentication extension is RFC 2554.

Configuring the Mail From and Mail To rules
The Mail From ruleset can put limits on email to allow email into your network only from specified
senders. The default configuration is to allow email from all senders.
The Mail To ruleset can put limits on email to allow email out of your network only to 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.

Changing the deny message
The Firebox gives a default deny message that replaces denied content. You can replace that deny message with one that you write. You can write a custom deny message with standard HTML. The first line of
the deny message is a section of the HTTP header. There must be an empty line between the first line
and the body of the message.

Idle Timeout
Controls how long the HTTP proxy waits for the web client to make a request for something
from the external web server after it starts a TCP/IP connection or after the earlier request, if
there was one, for the same connection. If it goes longer than the setting, the HTTP proxy closes
the connection.

WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring the HTTP Proxy
URL Length
Sets the maximum length of 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.
Range requests
Range requests allow a client to request subsets of the bytes in a web resource instead of the
full content. For example, this is useful when you want only some sections of a large Adobe file.
You can select a range request to prevent the download of unnecessary pages. Note: 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. To allow
range requests can make downloads occur more quickly, but it is not as safe.
Send a log message with summary information for each transaction
Creates a traffic log message for each transaction. This option creates a large log file, but this
information is very important if your firewall is attacked. If you do not select this check box, you
do not see detailed information about HTTP proxied connections in Historical Reports.
Setting HTTP 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.
The HTTP proxy supports request methods: HEAD, GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, and DELETE. (For HTTPServer, the proxy supports these request methods by default: HEAD, GET, and POST. OPTIONS, PUT, and
DELETE are added but are disabled.) You can also add CONNECT and TRACE, but no other request methods are supported at this time. If you configure a rule to allow other request methods and your browser
tries to use them, you get an error with the text: “Method unsupported.”

From the Categories section, select Request Methods.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “Defining Rules” on page 79.
Setting HTTP request URL paths
You use URL path rules to filter the content of the host, path, and query-string components of a URL.
Here 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
Note
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.

From the Categories section, select URL paths.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “Defining Rules” on page 79.
203
Configuring the HTTP Proxy
Setting HTTP request header fields
This ruleset supplies content filtering for the full HTTP header. By default, the Firebox 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.

2
From the Categories section, select Header Fields.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “Defining Rules” on page 79.
Setting HTTP request 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.

From the Categories section, select Authorization.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “Defining Rules” on page 79.
Configuring general settings for HTTP responses
You use the General Settings fields to configure basic HTTP parameters such as idle timeout and limits
for line and total length.
1
2
From the Categories section, select General Settings.
To set limits for HTTP parameters, select the applicable check boxes. Use the arrows to set the limits:
Idle timeout
Controls how long the Firebox HTTP proxy waits for the web server to send the web page.
Maximum line length
Controls the maximum allowed length of a line of characters in the HTTP response headers. Use
this property to protect your computers from buffer overflow exploits.
Maximum total length
Controls the maximum length of the HTTP response headers. If the total header length is more
than this limit, the HTTP response is denied.
Setting header fields for HTTP responses
This property controls which HTTP response header fields the Firebox allows. RFC 2616 includes many of
the HTTP response headers that are allowed in the default configuration. For more information, see:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt

WatchGuard System Manager
Configuring the HTTP Proxy
Setting content types for HTTP responses
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 looking for content type (MIME type) 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.
1
2
From the Categories section, select Content Types.
Do the steps used to create rulesets. For more information, see “About Proxy Actions, Rules, and
Rulesets” on page 187.
Setting cookies for HTTP responses
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.
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”.
1
2
From the Categories section on the left, select Cookies.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “About Proxy Actions, Rules, and
Rulesets” on page 187.
Setting HTTP body content types
This ruleset gives you control of the content in an HTTP response. The Firebox is configured to deny Java
applets, Zip archives, Windows EXE/DLL files, and Windows CAB files. The default proxy action for outgoing HTTP requests (HTTP-Client) allows all other response body content types. We recommend that you
examine the file types that are used in your organization and allow only those file types that are necessary for your network.

From the Categories section, select Body Content Types.
Do the steps used to create rules. For more information, see “About Proxy Actions, Rules, and

Defining antivirus responses for HTTP
The fields on this dialog box set the actions necessary if a virus is found in an email message. It also sets
actions for when an email message contains an attachment that is too large or that the Firebox cannot
scan.
Although you can use the proxy definition screens to activate and configure Gateway AntiVirus, it is easier to use the Tasks menu in Policy Manager to do this. For more information on how to do this, or to use
the antivirus screens in the proxy definition, see the chapter “Signature-Based Security Services.”
User Guide
205
Configuring the HTTP Proxy
Changing the deny message
The Firebox gives a default deny message that replaces the content that is denied. You can replace that
deny message with one that you write. You can customize the deny message with standard HTML. The
first line of the deny message is a component of the HTTP header. There must be an empty line between
the first line and the body of the message.
1
From the Categories section, select Deny Message.
2
Type the deny message in the deny message box. You can use these variables:
%(transaction)%
Puts “Request” or “Response” to show which side of the transaction caused the packet to be
denied.
%(reason)%
Puts the reason the Firebox denied the content.
%(method)%
Puts the request method from the denied request.
%(url-host)%
Puts the server host name from the denied URL. If no host name was included, the IP address of
the server is given.
%(url-path)%
Puts the path component of the denied URL.

CHAPTER 16
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.
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 a different 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.
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.
User Guide
227
WatchGuard Management Server Passphrases
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 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.

WatchGuard System Manager
Setting Up the Management Server
Setting Up the Management Server
The Management Server Setup wizard creates a new Management Server on your workstation. If you
used earlier versions of WatchGuard® System Manager and VPN Manager, you can also use the wizard to
migrate a DVCP Server that is installed on a Firebox® to a new Management Server on a workstation. To
move a Management Server off a Firebox, see the WFS to Fireware Pro Migration Guide.
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.
This procedure shows the steps you must use to successfully set up a new Management Server. Use this
procedure if you do not have a Management Server at this time.

Make sure you keep this passphrase in a safe place.
5
Type the Management Server passphrase to use when you configure and monitor the WatchGuard
Management Server. Use a passphrase that has a minimum of eight characters and then type it
again to confirm. Click Next.
6
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. 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 230.

Firebox X Edge Templates and
Aliases
WatchGuard® System Manager includes a number of features specifically for Firebox® X Edge device
management. You can easily manage many Firebox X Edge devices and make changes to the security
policy for more than one Firebox X Edge device at one time, and still have individual control over the
configuration of each Firebox X Edge device. With a Management Server, you can also:
• Manage Firebox X Edge firmware updates. With a Management Server, firmware updates can be
scheduled and installed by the Management Server.
• Create Edge Configuration Templates for a group of Firebox X Edge devices. You create a
configuration template on the Management Server, and install it on many Firebox X Edge
devices. To do this, select an Edge Configuration Template from the list, or drag the Firebox X
Edge devices on to the template. If you make a change to the policy, the policy is automatically
updated on all subscribed Firebox X Edge devices.
• Use aliases to define a common destination for policy configuration on the Management Server.
You can also manage Firebox SOHO 6 and SOHO 5 devices from WatchGuard System Manager. You cannot create configuration templates for the Firebox SOHO, or edit the network configuration with WatchGuard System Manager.

WatchGuard System Manager
Using Aliases
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:
• Naming aliases on the Management Server
• Defining alias IP addresses on the Firebox X Edge

CHAPTER 20
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 245.
• (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 272.
VPN Failover
VPN Failover, described in “About VPN Failover” on page 289, 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.
User Guide
267
VPN Resources and Templates
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.
To change these settings, from Policy Manager, select VPN > VPN Settings. For more information on
these settings, see “Using Global VPN Settings” on page 74.
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 using a Policy Template, described below.
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.

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.
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 using a Policy Template (described in
“Adding Policy Templates” on page 270) to restrict the resources available through the VPN tunnel.
268
WatchGuard System Manager
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.

CHAPTER 21
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-anddrop 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 289.
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
275
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 74.
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.

Defining the credential method
1
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.
Note
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" and "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 281.
280
1
From 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 281.
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.
3
4
5
6
Main fallback to aggressive
The Firebox attempts Phase 1 exchange with Main Mode. If the negotiation fails, it uses
Aggressive Mode.
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.
To have the Firebox send messages to its IKE peer to keep the VPN tunnel open, select the IKE
Keep-alive check box. To set the Message Interval, type the number of seconds or use the value
control to select the number of seconds you want.
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.
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-DESDF1 transform having a higher priority than MD5-3DES-DF2. When traffic passes through the
tunnel, the security association can use either SHA1-DES-DF1 (first priority) or MD5-3DES-DF2
(second priority) depending on which of the transforms match the peer's transform.
User Guide

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).
284
WatchGuard System Manager
Making Tunnels between Gateway Endpoints
• 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.
2
Select the PFS check box to enable Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS). If you enable PFS, select the
Diffie-Hellman group.
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 1536bit group.
3
The Create one SA that includes all tunnel routes 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.
4
The Create one SA that includes all ports and protocols 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
User Guide
285
Making Tunnels between Gateway Endpoints
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 select
traffic by port or protocol. If you do this, you must control what port is used by each SA in your
firewall policies.
5
The Firebox contains one default proposal, which appears in the IPSec Proposals list. This proposal
specifies the ESP data protection method, AES encryption, and SHA1 authentication. You can either:
- Use this default proposal.
- Remove it and replace it with a new one.
- Add an additional proposal, as explained in the next section.
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 74.
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 ESP-3DESSHA1 (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.

You can make the key expire after a quantity of time or a quantity of traffic. To enable key
expiration, 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.
Type a name for the new proposal.
From the Type drop-down list, select ESP or AH as the proposal method.
We recommend that you use ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload). The differences between ESP
and AH (Authentication Header) are:
- 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 74.

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 283) 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 site
where all VPN traffic comes from one public IP address.

WatchGuard System Manager
About VPN Failover
For example, suppose you want to create a BOVPN tunnel to a business partner so you can get access to
their database server, but you do not want this company to get access to any of your resources. Your
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.

From Policy Manager at the remote site, select VPN > Branch Office Tunnels. Select Add to add a
new BOVPN tunnel.
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:
• Fireboxes at each tunnel endpoint have Fireware v9.0 installed.
• Multi-WAN failover is configured, as described in the chapter “Network Configuration with
Multiple External Interfaces.”
User Guide
289
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

CHAPTER 22
Certificates and the Certificate
Authority
When you create a VPN tunnel, you can select from two types of tunnel authentication: shared secrets or
certificates. Shared secrets are an authentication method used to create trust between computers in a
VPN. A shared secret is used with a passphrase. Certificates usually give more security than shared
secrets during the authentication procedure.
Certificates are related to a security component called a key pair, which consists of two mathematically
related keys. The user keeps one key, the private key, secret. The user can supply the other key, known as
the public key, to other users. The private key has the ability to “unlock” the public key. Certificates are
used to make sure public keys are valid.
A Certificate Authority (CA) is a trusted third party 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 can give certificates to managed Firebox® clients when they contact the Management Server to
receive configuration updates.
Certificates have a lifetime that is set when they are created. But certificates are occasionally revoked
before the end date and time that was set for their lifetime. The CA keeps an online, current list of
revoked certificates. This list is the Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
Certificates in a WatchGuard VPN
To authenticate VPN tunnels with certificates, you must first configure a Management Server. When you
configure the Management Server, the CA is automatically activated. Each managed Firebox® client connects to the Management Server and receives a certificate from the CA. When a VPN tunnel is created
between two managed clients, the clients use the certificates to authenticate the tunnel. This occurs
only if each of the two managed Firebox clients is configured to use certificate authentication.
Certificates are handled in a different way in a Mobile User VPN (MUVPN). Because MUVPN clients are
not clients of the Management Server, they authenticate to the Firebox. Use the MUVPN Wizard from
Policy Manager to contact the CA and create a certificate for the MUVPN client. Policy Manager creates a
package that includes this certificate and two other files.
The Firebox administrator gives each MUVPN user the package of files. Together, these files are the
MUVPN end-user profile. Users who authenticate with shared keys receive one .wgx file. Users who
User Guide
293
Managing the Certificate Authority
authenticate with certificates receive a .wgx file, a .p12 file (which is the client certificate), and a cacert.pem file (which contains the root certificate).
The MUVPN user who authenticates with certificates then opens the .wgx file. The root and client certificates contained in the cacert.pem and the .p12 files are automatically loaded.
For more information on MUVPN, see the MUVPN Administrator Guide.

CHAPTER 23
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, record this information:
• The IP addresses for the remote client to use for RUVPN sessions. 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. For more information, see “IP Addressing” on page 252.
• 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 307.
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 to [email protected] and include in it:
• Your LiveSecurity Service key number
• Date of purchase
• Name of your company
User Guide
301
Configuring WINS and DNS Servers
• Company mailing address
• Telephone number and name
• Email address
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.
Note
To keep your current Firebox configuration, do not use the Quick Setup Wizard when you install the new
software. Open 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, click Network > Configuration. Click the WINS/DNS tab.
The information for the WINS and DNS servers appears.

1
Select the Require 128-bit encryption if you want to require 128-bit encryption for all PPTP
tunnels. We recommend that you use 128-bit encryption for VPN.
2
Select the Enable Drop from 128-bit to 40-bit check box to allow the tunnels to drop from 128-bit
to 40-bit encryption for connections that are less reliable. The Firebox always tries to use 128-bit
encryption first. It uses 40-bit encryption if the client cannot use the 128-bit encrypted connection.
Usually, only customers outside the United States use this check box.
3
Select the Do not require encryption check box to allow traffic that is not encrypted through the
VPN.
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.
For more information about how to get IP addresses for RUVPN clients, see “IP Addressing” on page 252.
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.
304
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 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 Incoming RUVPN Traffic
RUVPN users have no access privileges through a Firebox®. You must add user names or the full PPTPUsers group to policies to give remote users access to specified network resources.
We recommend two procedures to configure the policies for RUVPN traffic: individual policies or the
Any policy. It is best to configure individual policies to control RUVPN traffic. The Any policy opens a
hole through the Firebox for authenticated RUVPN users. This lets all the traffic flow between hosts and
does not apply firewall rules. This is a security risk.
By individual policy
In Policy Manager, double-click a policy to enable for your VPN users. It is a good idea to create a new
policy specially for PPTP traffic and keep it separate from your other firewall policies. To set the properties:
For an incoming policy:
- Allowed
- From: PPTP users or groups
- To: trusted, optional, network or host IP address, or alias
For an outgoing policy:
- Allowed
- From: trusted, optional, network or host IP address, or alias
- To: PPTP users or groups

Make sure that you save your configuration file to the Firebox after you make these changes.
Note
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. Use this type of policy with any packet filter or proxy
policy as an alternative to the Any policy.
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

Edit your policy configuration to allow connections from PPTP-Users through the external interface.
If you use WebBlocker to control remote user web access, add PPTP-Users to the policy that controls
WebBlocker (such as HTTP-proxy).
Note
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 “Configuring Policies” chapter of this guide.

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.
Note
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.

Defining WebBlocker exceptions
You can override a WebBlocker action with an exception. You can add a web site that is allowed or
denied as an exception to the WebBlocker categories. The web sites you add apply only to HTTP traffic.
They are not added to the Blocked Sites list.
The exceptions 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 pat-

317
Configuring WebBlocker
terns. 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 using 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.

In the Match Type field, select one of these options:
Pattern match
Pattern matches match a pattern in the URL or address, for example “pattern” in
www.pattern.com. Be sure to drop the leading “http://” and include “/* at the end. Use the
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.
4
5
User Guide
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 3-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.
In the Type field, enter the web site type: URL or Host IP Address.
If you chose URL in the previous field, enter the pattern, value, or expression, depending on the

CHAPTER 25
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.
spamBlocker looks for patterns in spam attacks, instead of the contents of individual email messages.
Because it looks for patterns, it can detect spam in any language, format, or encoding method.
About spamBlocker
Before you install spamBlocker™, you must have:
• spamBlocker license key certificate
• SMTP email server behind the Firebox®
• SMTP Proxy policy
• DNS configured on the Firebox. 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. It can:
• Deny — Stop the spam 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”.
• Add subject tag —Identify the email message as spam or not spam and allow spam email
messages to go to the mail server. See the subsequent section for more information on
spamBlocker tags.
• Allow — Let spam email messages go through the Firebox without a tag.
User Guide
323
Installing the Software License
• Drop — Drop the connection immediately. The Firebox does not give any SMTP error message to
the sending server.
spamBlocker tags
The Firebox can add spamBlocker tags to the subject line of the email message. You can also configure
spamBlocker to customize the tag that it adds. 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
spamBlocker looks at email messages to find matches to the patterns in the spamBlocker database. It
puts spam email into three categories: Spam, Bulk, and Suspect. spamBlocker assigns email messages to
these categories based on the number of patterns found in the email message.
• The Spam category includes email messages that come from known spammers. We recommend
you use the Deny action for this type of email.
• 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.
• The Suspect category includes email messages that look like email messages that 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 Software License
To install spamBlocker™, you must have a spamBlocker license key and register it on the LiveSecurity®
web site. After you register the license key, LiveSecurity gives you a new feature key.

spamBlocker. Any policies that have spamBlocker already enabled are grayed out.
OR
Create SMTP proxy policy
This screen appears if your Firebox does not yet have a policy created for SMTP. The wizard will
create an SMTP proxy policy for you. You must have at least one external interface with a static IP
address.
To create an SMTP policy, enter the email server IP address. The 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.
You can click the check box at the bottom of the screen to go to the spamBlocker Configuration

server.
Adding spamBlocker exceptions
At times, the Firebox identifies a message as spam when it is not spam. If you know the address of the
sender, you can configure the Firebox with an exception that tells the Firebox not to examine messages
from this source address. To look for exceptions, spamBlocker looks at the “mail from:” field. It does not
look at the “From:” header that you see in emails. If you create an exception rule and it does not operate
correctly, make sure you verify that you entered the correct field.

Setting Global spamBlocker Parameters
You can use global spamBlocker™ settings to optimize spamBlocker for your own installation. Because
most of these parameters affect the amount of memory that spamBlocker uses on the Firebox®, you
must balance good spamBlocker performance with the needs of other Firebox functionality.
1
From the spamBlocker dialog box, click Settings.
The spamBlocker Settings dialog box appears.
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, but if image-based spam is a problem for your organization, you can increase the
maximum files 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.

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 destined
email recipient. They then 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.
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 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.

and use a spam tag for the marketing team.
If you want to use more than one SMTP Proxy service with spamBlocker, your network must use one of
these configurations:
• Each SMTP proxy policy must send email to a different internal email server.
or
• You must set the external source or sources that can send email for each SMTP proxy policy.

CHAPTER 26
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 (GAV/IPS) that can identify and
stop a possible intrusion. The Intrusion Prevention Service operates with all WatchGuard proxies. WatchGuard Gateway AntiVirus operates with the SMTP, HTTP, and TCP proxies.
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. GAV/IPS uses these signatures to find
viruses and intrusions.
New viruses and intrusion methods appear on the Internet frequently. To make sure that GAV/IPS gives
you the best protection, you must update the signatures frequently. You can configure the Firebox® to
update the signatures automatically from WatchGuard. You can also update the signatures manually.
Note
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.

About Gateway AntiVirus
WatchGuard® Gateway AntiVirus (GAV) stops viruses before they get to computers on your network.
GAV operates with the WatchGuard SMTP, HTTP, and TCP proxies. When you enable GAV, the SMTP, HTTP,
or TCP proxy looks at email messages and web traffic, and removes any viruses it finds. (The GAV configuration of a TCP policy is in an HTTP proxy action referenced by the TCP proxy action that matches it.)
Note
If your organization does not use an email server protected by the Firebox, Gateway AntiVirus does not
protect against email viruses.
If you enable Gateway AntiVirus with the SMTP proxy, it finds viruses encoded with frequently used
email attachment methods. These include base64, binary, 7-bit, and 8-bit encoding. Gateway AntiVirus
does not find viruses in unencoded or binhex-encoded messages; the Firebox® strips these types of
messages.
If you enable Gateway AntiVirus with the HTTP proxy, it finds viruses in web pages that users try to
download. If a virus is found, the user’s connection is dropped. (GAV does not give a notification about
why the connection was dropped.)

About Gateway AntiVirus
Activating Gateway AntiVirus
Before you use Gateway AntiVirus in an SMTP, HTTP, or TCP proxy policy, you must run the Activate Gateway AntiVirus wizard to activate the feature and create a basic configuration. To do this:
1
2
From WatchGuard System Manager, select the Firebox that you want to use Gateway AntiVirus.
Select Tools > Policy Manager.
Or,
you can click the Policy Manager icon on the WatchGuard System Manager toolbar.
3
From Policy Manager, select Tasks > Gateway AntiVirus > Activate.
The Activate Gateway AntiVirus wizard starts.
4
5
Click Next.
Complete the wizard. The wizard shows different screens depending on whether you already have
proxy policies in your configuration. If you do not, the wizard helps you create a proxy policy. You
can then use the wizard again to configure GAV, or see the instructions in the subsequent section.
The wizard has the following screens.
Apply Gateway AntiVirus Settings to your policies
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. Any policies that have Gateway
AntiVirus already enabled are greyed out.
You can also automatically enable Gateway AntiVirus for the SMTP, HTTP, and TCP proxies if you
change certain settings in the proxy definition. In ruleset definitions for attachments and other
items, select AV Scan from the If matched or None matched drop-down list.
Create new proxy policies
This screen appears if your Firebox does not yet have policies created for Incoming SMTP, TCP, 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.
Configuring Gateway AntiVirus
After you use the Activate Gateway AntiVirus wizard to activate GAV and create a basic configuration,
you can further refine the configuration.

The fields on this dialog box set the actions necessary if a virus or error is found in an email message
or web page. For the SMTP proxy, you also use this dialog box to set actions for when an email
message contains an attachment that is too large or that the Firebox cannot scan. In the Actions
section, use the drop-down lists to select the Firebox action for each of these conditions:
Allow
Allows the packet to go to the recipient, even if the content contains a virus.
Lock (SMTP proxy only)
Locks the attachment. This is a good option for files that are too large for Gateway AntiVirus or
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.
Remove (SMTP proxy only)
Removes the attachment and allows the message through to the recipient.
Drop
Drops the packet and drops the connection. No information is sent to the source of the
message.
Block
Blocks the packet, and adds the IP address of the sender to the Blocked Sites list.
Note
If you set the configuration to allow attachments, your configuration is less secure.
Creating alarms or log entries for antivirus responses
An alarm is a mechanism to tell users when a proxy rule applies to network traffic. Use the Alarm check
box on the General Gateway AntiVirus Settings page to create an alarm for an antivirus response. If you

Activating Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS)
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, 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. To do this:

example, you have already created an SMTP policy, it does not appear in the list.
To create a policy, select the corresponding check box. If you select SMTP, enter the mail server IP
address. This 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.

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 that get access to software applications with vulnerabilities (such as signatures that
do not have very specific content) also get this level of severity.
Some signatures that would usually be in the High or Medium level are put in lower levels if their content is not very detailed. They are also put in lower levels if they have a wide scope that could cause false
positives.

Dynamic Routing
Note
The OSPF and BGP dynamic routing protocols are available only in Fireware® Pro. Only the RIP dynamic
routing protocol 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 Fireware FAQs at:www.watchguard.com/support/FAQs.
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.

Using RIP
Using RIP
Note
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:www.watchguard.com/support/FAQs.

Using OSPF
Note
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.

Using BGP
Note
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 is the routing protocol used on the Internet. 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.

CHAPTER 28
Traffic Management and Quality of
Service
Note
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 proxies.
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
365
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, 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.
Setting traffic priority
You can use QoS marking to 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.

From Policy Manager, select Setup > Global Settings.
The Global Settings dialog box appears.

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 e-mail or a pop-up window on the management station.

Start to define the Traffic Management action, as described in steps 1 and 2 of “Guaranteeing
Bandwidth for a Policy” on page 367.
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.
3
If you want to set an alarm when the connection rate is exceeded, select the Alarm when capacity
exceeded check box. Click Notification and set the notification parameters, as described in
“Setting logging and notification parameters” on page 162.
4
Use the Maximum Bandwidth drop-down list to set or remove the bandwidth limits for this action.
Use No Limit to remove bandwidth restrictions for important traffic, or select a maximum kilobytes

5
Click OK.
The new action appears in the Traffic Management Actions dialog box.
6
If you started defining the Traffic Management action from a policy definition, the new action now
appears in Traffic Management on the Advanced tab. If you started to define the action from
selecting Setup > Actions > Traffic Management, you must apply the setting to a policy, as
explained in “Applying the Traffic Management action to a policy” on page 368.
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.
User Guide
369
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
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 per-hop
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 defined 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 PHB is recommended for traffic that needs better reliability than the besteffort 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 PHB, 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.

If you want to override any QoS marking settings defined for the Firebox interface that will send this
traffic, select the Override per-interface settings check box.
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.

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 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:
• RUVPN with PPTP
User Guide
373
High Availability Requirements
• 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.
• HA does not operate correctly if one of the Fireboxes in the HA pair is a VPN endpoint in a VPN
tunnel created and managed by the Management Server.
• You cannot put a WatchGuard Management Server behind a gateway Firebox that is part of an
HA cluster.
Note
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.
If you use IPSec VPN tunnels that use a VPN certificate for authentication, the secondary Firebox must
get its own IPSec VPN certificate. Only the Management Server certificate is copied from the primary
Firebox to the secondary Firebox when a failover occurs.

Manually Controlling High Availability
Manually Controlling High Availability
Although High Availability operations usually occur automatically, you can do some of the functions
manually.
Enabling the current Firebox as a standby peer
To make the current Firebox® the standby peer in a High Availability configuration:
From Firebox System Manager, select
Tools > High Availability > Enable as Secondary
For more information, see “Enabling High Availability” on page 375.
Synchronizing the configuration
You must synchronize the configuration when one Firebox configuration changes while the other is disconnected from the HA peer or turned off.
From Firebox System Manager, select
Tools > High Availability > Synchronize Configuration
Forcing a failover
You can cause a failover to occur on the current Firebox. The peer becomes active immediately and the
current Firebox becomes standby.
From Firebox System Manager, select
Tools > High Availability > Force Failover
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.
Note
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 could have
completed, and it is possible the timeout message is not correct.

WatchGuard System Manager
Upgrading Software in an HA Configuration
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. This is because the backup image includes the system and policy information, certificates, and licenses that do not exist on the secondary Firebox until failover. To create a backup image
(.fxi) of the active Firebox:
1
2
3
From Policy Manager, select File > Backup.
Type the configuration passphrase. Click OK.
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. When it
restarts, the standby 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 Signature-based Security Services
Gateway AntiVirus and Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) signature databases do not automatically synchronize between active and standby HA devices.
If the antivirus and IPS features are enabled and an event occurs that causes the standby Firebox® to
become active, this device can have a version of the Gateway AntiVirus and IPS signature databases that
is not current (especially if it was in standby mode for a long time). Until an update of the database
occurs, there is a period of time when a new virus or IPS attack can bypass the Firebox.
To minimize this problem, keep the automatic signature update intervals for Gateway AntiVirus and
Intrusion Prevention Service enabled and short. If possible, force a manual signature update on the new
active Firebox immediately after the failover occurs.
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.

379
Using HA with Third-Party Certificates
Using HA with Third-Party Certificates
We do not recommend you use third-party certificates on your HA Firebox devices. The certificates are
not synchronized between the HA pair at this time. If you must use third-party certificates on your HA
devices, make sure you follow these instructions carefully:
• Request certificates for both HA devices with the same IP address, domain name, user domain
name, or X.500 name, so that the same value can be used in the VPN gateway configuration and
will apply no matter which HA Firebox is active. Make sure both certificates are RSA or both are
DSA. The type of certificate on each Firebox must be the same.
• If you have more than one third-party certificate, make sure you import the certificates to both
Firebox devices in the same order so that each Firebox assigns the same internal certificate ID
numbers.

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 ADDON 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
User Guide
385
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.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF WASHINGTON, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. The parties
consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of courts located in Washington, King County. Customer
may not assign this Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of
WatchGuard. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties' permitted
successors and/or assignees. Waiver by either party of a breach or any provision of this Agreement or the
failure by either party to exercise any right hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach of that right or as a waiver of any other right. Neither party shall be considered to be in
breach of this Agreement on account of any delay or failure to perform any obligation hereunder (other than
a delay or failure in the payment of money) as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party's
reasonable control.
IF YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE AS
PROMPTED BY THE TEXT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESENTATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU
DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INDICATE THAT YOU DECLINE AS
PROMPTED BY THE TEXT ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRESENTATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. BY
ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT: (A) THE INDIVIDUAL
INDICATING THEIR ACCEPTANCE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS DULY AUTHORIZED TO ACCEPT THIS
AGREEMENT ON CUSTOMER'S BEHALF AND TO BIND CUSTOMER TO THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT; (B) CUSTOMER HAS THE FULL POWER, CORPORATE OR OTHERWISE, TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND; (C)
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF CUSTOMER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT DO NOT VIOLATE ANY THIRD-PARTY AGREEMENT TO WHICH CUSTOMER IS A
PARTY.

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 021111307 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.
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
392
WatchGuard System Manager
Licenses
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.

Licenses
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.
(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
394
WatchGuard System Manager
Licenses
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 interface-compatible 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.
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.
User Guide

Licenses
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.

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.
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.
User Guide
397
Licenses
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,
398
WatchGuard System Manager
Licenses
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.

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

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,

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.

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.

These tables gives 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.

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
• Internet Protocol(s): Any
• Port Number(s): Any port
User Guide
411
Packet Filter Policies
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:
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 or UDP
• 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.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 1494
412
WatchGuard System Manager
Packet Filter Policies
Clarent-Command
Clarent Corporation supplies IP telephone technology to mainstream carriers and service providers.
Clarent products allow voice-over-IP between Clarent gateways across the Internet. This policy gives
support to the Clarent v3.0 product and later.
Clarent products use two sets of ports, one for gateway-to-gateway communications (UDP ports 4040,
4045, and 5010) and one for gateway-to-command center communications (UDP ports 5001 and 5002).
Use the Clarent-command policy for the gateway-to-command center communications.
Allow incoming connections only from specified external gateways to your gateway or command center.
Clarent also gives support for the use of PCAnywhere for management. Refer to the PCAnywhere policy
notes for more information.
The Clarent-command policy could put network security at risk because it allows traffic inside the firewall based only on network address. This is not a trusted method of authentication. In addition, your
Clarent server could receive denial-of-service attacks in this configuration. Where possible, we recommend that you use VPN options to give more security for Clarent-command connections.
Characteristics:
• Internet Protocol(s): UDP
• Port Numbers(s): 5001, 5002
Clarent-Gateway
Clarent Corporation supplies IP telephone technology to mainstream carriers and service providers.
Clarent products allow voice-over-IP between Clarent gateways across the Internet. This policy gives
support to the Clarent v3.0 product and later.
Clarent products use two sets of ports, one for gateway-to-gateway communications (UDP ports 4040,
4045, and 5010) and one for gateway-to-command center communications (UDP ports 5001 and 5002).
Use the Clarent-command policy for the gateway-to-command center communications.
Allow incoming connections only from specified external gateways to your gateway or command center.
Clarent also gives support for the use of PCAnywhere for management. Refer to the PCAnywhere policy
notes for more information.
The Clarent-gateway policy could put network security at risk because it allows traffic inside the firewall
based only on network address. This is not a trusted method of authentication. In addition, your Clarent
server could receive denial-of-service attacks in this configuration. Where possible, we recommend that
you use VPN options to give more security for Clarent-gateway connections.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): UDP
• Port Number(s): 4040, 4045, 5010
CU-SeeMe
CU-SeeMe is a software application used to do video conferencing through the Internet. For CU-SeeMe
to operate through the Firebox, you must make sure that you are not on a network that uses outgoing
dynamic NAT.
User Guide
413
Packet Filter Policies
The CU-SeeMe protocol makes you configure this policy for traffic going in to and out of your network.
The CU-SeeMe policy uses the correct ports to allow the use of CU-SeeMe versions 2.X and 3.X. CUSeeMe Version 2.X operates on UDP port 7648. Version 3.X operates on UDP port 7648, UDP port 24032
(for H.323 conferences), and TCP port 7648 (video conference directories).
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP and UDP
• Port Numbers(s): UDP 7648, UDP 24032, TCP 7648
DHCP-Server or DHCP-Client
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) gives a way to allocate dynamic IP addresses to devices on
a network.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• DHCP-Server Port Number(s): 67
• DHCP-Client Port Number(s): 68
DNS
Domain Name Service (DNS) matches host names to IP addresses. The DNS policy allows UDP DNS traffic, as well as TCP zone transfers to occur as specified. All of the usual log options can be used with DNS.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): Multi: TCP (for server-server zone transfers) and UDP (for client-server
lookups)
• Port Number(s): TCP 53 and UDP 53
Entrust
The Entrust Authority Public Key distribution application protocol passes public keys to a trusted thirdparty organization for verification.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 709, 710
finger
finger is an application protocol used to get information about users on a given host. It is easy for a
hacker to use this information against you. We do not recommend that you put finger servers on the
trusted interface.
414
WatchGuard System Manager
Packet Filter Policies
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 79
FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used to move files across the Internet. An FTP packet filter will not apply
the FTP proxy rule set to any traffic. To proxy FTP traffic, use the FTP proxy policy. We recommend that
incoming FTP be allowed only to public FTP servers located behind the Firebox.
External hosts can be spoofed. WatchGuard cannot verify that these packets were actually sent from the
correct location. You can configure the Firebox to add the source IP address to the Blocked Sites list
whenever an FTP connection to a computer protected by the Firebox is denied. The packet filter and
proxy policy included in WatchGuard Policy Manager both handle the data channel for active and passive FTP sessions. All of the usual log options can be used with FTP.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): FTP uses two ports: TCP 21 for control connections and TCP 20 for data transfer.
TCP 20 can be an incoming or outgoing connection depending on how the client is configured. If
it is incoming, 20 is the source port, and the destination port is random.
Gopher
Gopher is a data-retrieval protocol developed at the University of Minnesota. Gopher is not frequently
used, as most users use HTML.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 70, but servers can be configured to use other ports
GRE
Generic Routing Encapsulation Protocol (GRE) is used together with Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) to create virtual private networks (VPNs) between clients or between clients and servers.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): GRE
• Protocol Number(s): 47
HBCI
The Home Banking Computer Interface (HBCI) is a standard created for bank customers and manufacturers of banking products.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
User Guide
415
Packet Filter Policies
• Port Number(s): 3000
HTTP
An HTTP packet filter will not apply the HTTP proxy rule set to any traffic. To proxy HTTP traffic, use the
HTTP proxy policy. We recommend that HTTP be allowed only to public HTTP servers located behind
the Firebox.
External hosts can be spoofed. WatchGuard cannot verify that these packets were actually sent from the
correct location. You can configure the Firebox to add the source IP address to the Blocked Sites list
whenever an HTTP connection to a computer protected by the Firebox is denied. All of the usual log
options can be used with HTTP.
Characteristics
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 80
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
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 443
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 “fake” information to hide internal user information.
When you use SMTP with incoming static NAT, you must add IDENT to your Policy Manager. Configure
IDENT to allow traffic to the Firebox. This enables mail messages to flow from behind the Firebox to the
many SMTP servers on the Internet that use IDENT to identify other mail servers’ identities, and allows
these servers to return messages through the Firebox to their senders.
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
• Internet Protocol(s): TCP
• Port Number(s): 113
416
WatchGuard System Manager
Packet Filter Policies
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
be controlled. Be sure to use the most current version of PPTP.

You must add an IDENT policy to Policy Manager when you use incoming static NAT with SMTP. Configure IDENT to allow incoming auth to the Firebox. This enables outgoing mail messages to flow freely
from behind the Firebox to the many SMTP servers on the Internet that use IDENT. It allows these servers
to send messages back through the Firebox to the senders.
To not use the SMTP proxy but have SMTP operate correctly, create a new policy in Policy Manager that
