WatchGuard DVCP server.

The shared key is used to encrypt the connection between the DVCP Server and the Firebox X Edge. This shared key
must be the same on the Edge and the DVCP Server. Get the shared key from your VPN administrator.

Updating the Firebox X Edge Software
One advantage of your LiveSecurity® service is continuous software updates. As new threats appear and
WatchGuard® adds product enhancements, you receive alerts to let you know about new versions of
your Firebox® X Edge e-Series software. To install any firmware on the Edge, you must have a current
LiveSecurity subscription. For Firebox® X Edge updates, see the WatchGuard web site at:
https://www.watchguard.com/archive/softwarecenter.asp (select Firebox X Edge)
There are two different procedures to install firmware updates. The first method uses a larger download
and applies the firmware update on the Firebox X Edge automatically when you start it on a Windows
computer. The second method uses a smaller download and allows you to apply the firmware updates
with the Firebox X Edge configuration pages. If you do not use Windows, you must use the second pro-
cedure.
Method 1: Installing software automatically
The first method installs the Firebox X Edge e-Series firmware update from a Windows computer. Down-
load the Software Update Installer to use this method. To use the Software Update Installer:
1 Start the installer on a Windows computer that is on the trusted network of the Firebox X Edge.
2 When you see the prompt, type the Firebox X Edge e-Series trusted interface IP address.
The default address is 192.168.111.1.
3 Type the administrator name and password. Click OK.
The installer applies the firmware update to the Firebox X Edge e-Series. As part of the update process, the Firebox
X Edge restarts one or two times—this is usual.
4 Click Finish.
Note
Because the Installer uses FTP to transfer files, make sure your Firebox X Edge is not configured to deny
FTP traffic. For more information, see “Denying FTP access to the Firebox X Edge” on page 90.
