CHAPTER 4

Firebox Basics

This chapter describes the following tasks, which require direct interaction between 
the Management Station and the Firebox:

• Set  up  a  Firebox

• Open and save a configuration file to a local hard disk or the Firebox

• Reset Firebox passphrases

• Set the Firebox time zone

• Reinitialize a misconfigured Firebox

What is a Firebox?

Fireboxes are specially designed and optimized machines. They are small, efficient, 
and reliable.

There are no user-serviceable parts within the Firebox. If a user 

opens a Firebox case, it voids the limited hardware warranty.
