What IP address subnet should your computer have to use the Web Setup Wizard or Quick Setup Wizard for your Firebox or XTM device?

The correct choice reflects the default settings that allow your computer to communicate effectively with your Firebox or XTM device during the setup process. When using the Web Setup Wizard or Quick Setup Wizard, your computer’s IP address must fall within the same subnet as the device to ensure connectivity.

In this case, the IP address subnet of 10.0.1.0/24 is the default for many WatchGuard devices, meaning that devices are typically configured to use addresses in the range from 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.254. Setting your computer to an IP address within this subnet (for example, 10.0.1.2) allows it to communicate with the Firebox or XTM device, facilitating a successful setup process.

Using an address from a different subnet, such as the other choices, would prevent proper communication with the Firebox, causing issues during the setup. For instance, if your computer were assigned an address like 192.168.1.2, it would be on a different subnet altogether, thus unable to reach the device at 10.0.1.1.
