WatchGuard Technologies WatchGuard Firebox 1000

Firebox 1000 offers the processing power to meet the needs of most small to medium-sized organizations. Equipped with a security-hardened Linux operating system, the reliable Firebox 1000 is dedicated to the specialized task of Internet security. Solid-state architecture removes the risk of hard drive failure and disk crashes, and dual-image flash memory enables fallback to the previously transmitted policy. Three independent network interfaces allow you to separate your protected office network from the Internet while providing an optional public network for hosting Web, e-mail or FTP servers. Each network interface is independently monitored and visually displayed on the front of the Firebox. In addition to LEDs showing connectivity and Armed/Disarmed status, Firebox also displays three LEDs: TrafficMeter, LoadMeter and ThroughputMeter.

The triangular TrafficMeter displays LEDs for the trusted, external and optional interfaces (green bars show the direction of allowed traffic, red bars indicate denied traffic). The LoadMeter LEDs display the load average of each Firebox. Lastly, Sys A/Sys B LEDs indicate whether your Firebox is running your defined security policy or if it is in configuration mode.
