Installation Topics• High Availability (not available on Firebox 500)• Drop-in mode• 1-to-1 NAT• MUVPN• RUVPN with PPTPNoteIf your ISP uses a PPPoE connection to give a static IP address, the Firebox allows you to enable MUVPNand RUVPN with PPTP because the IP address is static.External aliases and 1-to-1 NAT are not available when the Firebox is a PPPoE client.Entering IP addressesWhen you enter IP addresses in a Quick Setup Wizard or WSM dialog boxes, type the digits and periodsin the correct sequence. Do not use the TAB key, arrow key, spacebar, or mouse to put your cursor afterthe 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 notationUse slash notation to enter the netmask. In slash notation, one number shows how many bits of the IPaddress identify the network that the host is on. A netmask of 255.255.255.0 has a slash equivalent of8+8+8=24. For example, an IP address 192.168.42.23/24 is equivalent to an IP address of 192.168.42.23with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.This table shows the network masks and their slash equivalents:Network maskSlash equivalent255.0.0.0 /8255.255.0.0 /16255.255.255.0 /24255.255.255.128 /25255.255.255.192 /26255.255.255.224 /27255.255.255.240 /28255.255.255.248 /29255.255.255.252 /30Installing the Firebox cablesConnect the power cable to the Firebox power input and to a power source.We recommend that you use a straight Ethernet cable (green) to connect your management station to ahub or switch. Use a different straight Ethernet cable (green) to connect your Firebox to the same hub orswitch.You also can use a red crossover cable to connect the Firebox trusted interface to the management stationEthernet port.22 WatchGuard System Manager
