Installing the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway for the First Time
To configure TCP/IP Settings Using Network Cables
The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway has two network adapters installed. One network adapter communicates
with the Internet and client computers that are not inside the corporate network. The other network
adapter communicates with the internal network.
WatchGuard recommends that both network adapters be configured for maximum security. If only one
network adapter is used, it has to be routable for internal resources using Network Address Translation
(NAT). Also, if only one network adapter is used, throughput of network traffic is cut in half and can
cause a bottleneck of network traffic.
You can install the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway and configure TCP/IP settings using network cables, such
as two RJ-45 network cables, or cross-over cables. The RJ-45 cables are connected to a network switch
and to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway. The cross-over cables are connected to a Windows computer and
the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway.
