Firebox Monitors

The Policy Manager display includes:

Pull-down menus

Menus that provide access to most configuration and administration tasks.

Toolbar

A row of buttons immediately below the pull-down menus. Each button corresponds to a frequently performed Policy Manager task. Position the mouse over the button to view a tooltip and explanatory status bar text.

Services Arena

A large, open panel that displays icons to represent each network service. Double-click an icon to display the Properties dialog box, where you configure access controls and logging for that service.

Changing the Policy Manager view

Policy Manager includes two view options: Basic and Advanced. The Advanced view displays less frequently used commands. To toggle between the Policy Manager Basic and Advanced views, select View => Advanced.

Service icons beginning with “wg_” are created automatically when you enable features such as PPTP and authentication. These icons appear only in the Advanced view. The “wg_” service icons rarely require modification. WatchGuard recommends leaving “wg_” icons in their default settings.

Much of this User Guide is devoted to configuring and administering a network security policy using Policy Manager.
