CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Welcome to WatchGuard

The WatchGuard Firebox Vclass series of security
appliances brings high speed network security to
enterprise-class businesses, remote offices, service
providers, and data centers.
In the past, a connected enterprise needed a complex
set of tools, systems, and personnel for access control,
authentication, virtual private networking, network
management, and security analysis. These costly sys-
tems were difficult to integrate and not easy to update.
The WatchGuard Firebox Vclass appliance combines
firewall security, VPN support, and powerful traffic
management with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
connections. The Vclass security ASIC architecture
delivers scalable support up to 20,000 tunnels in a sin-

a large enterprise device (V200). An Install Wizard
and Device Discovery utility shorten the installation
time to minutes. Firebox Vclass security appliances
include an intuitive, multi-platform Java®-based GUI
