primary duties: protecting your network and efficiently managing all legitimate data streams.

WatchGuard Firebox Vclass Operating System™ (OS) Every Firebox Vclass security appliance is preinstalled with the latest version of the Firebox Vclass Operating System–which is identified on the packaging by a version number. This operating system includes all the software resources that make the appliance fully functional.

WatchGuard Firebox Vclass administrative client applications

The WatchGuard Vcontroller (or the companion WatchGuard CPM client software) gives you full control of all the customizable operating system parameters, including basic system configurations, security policies, maintenance, and activity logging.

If you already have one or more operational Firebox Vclass appliances in your network, you can shortcut the installa- tion and configuration process on a new factory-default appliance. First, export a complete configuration file from an operational appliance and then import it into the new appliance. After this is done, you can change a few key set- tings and have a fully functional appliance in location and ready for use. For more information, see Firebox Vclass User Guide.

Where other interfaces are included (a second DMZ or High Availability), the corresponding interface numbering will be noted at that time.
