The housing WatchGuard Firebox 700 is designed for small and medium enterprises wishing to have a firewall and a server Virtual Private Network (VPN). This dedicated server, Linux based, is built around a Pentium II 233 MHz with 64 MB of RAM, which enable the installation of 150 VPN tunnels, depending on the secure IPSec 3DES (168-bit) through the VPN tool Manager 2.0. The server also offers a proprietary encryption method based on RSA 128 bits for communications between servers Firebox network. A true firewall, the housing protects the information system against intrusions by making address translation NAT filtering and dynamic packet inspection (130 Mbps) inflows and outflows to and from server’s type DNS, HTTP, SMTP and FTP.

Antivirus Setup

Low-end model, the Firebox 700 do not inherit more elements present in the Firebox and for larger networks. It enjoys an administration console that mounts to any client of the network and enables secure remote server, after authentication by user name and password. It also helps identify the different firewalls present on the local network, and chained their administration while organizing the real time monitoring of network events.
Like its bigger brothers, the Firebox 700 has a one year subscription to LiveSecurity online service (which allows the regular updating of system software on each housing and the rise of security alerts) and anti-virus service via Web VirusScan (r) ASaP McAfee (license for five users). However, the server WatchGuard is careful to outflank his target, small structures, that only supports 250 simultaneous connections sessions UDP and TCP.
