Automated FireboxV rollout

EvWorkum

Hi All,

We are investigating options to rollout firewallV in a "zero touch" approach. So if we look at the process it's a VMware host with the OVA file imported and shipped to the customer. As we all know nowadays almost every company uses fixed IP's thus the firewall will never be able to register itself in WGC. We do not want to touch any firewall except by pushing some kind of "kickstart" approach into the OVA so the firewall will receive all required information like the primary external IP and some other configuration items to be able to connect to WGC. After registration in WGC the appropriate template (rapid deploy) will be pushed to the firewall and of we go. Does anyone have experience with FireboxV scripting to automate this process?

Regards,

Erwin

Hi @EvWorkum

Interface information can be supplied to the firewall via USB (or virtual USB) drive containing a specifically formatted CSV.

See:
(Use a USB Drive to Configure Interface Settings)
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/deploy/usb_interface_config_c.html

If you're able to script attaching that USB drive, that should get you to the point where you can deploy templates via management server.
