New Feature — Policies by Domain New Feature — Policies by Domain NameName

WatchGuard Training

Policies by Domain Name


You can now use FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) in:• From and To lists in a policy• Aliases• Blocked Sites• Blocked Site Exceptions• Quota Exceptions

We recommend you use this feature to allow traffic to selected domains while blocking all other traffic. • Software update sites such as

Windows updates• Antivirus signature update sites

Useful for when sites are hosted on content delivery networks (CDNs) that frequently add and change IP addresses.

Domain Name Format


You can use a specific FQDN (host.example.com) or a wildcard domain (*.example.com). For example, the wildcard domain *.example.com would include:• a.example.com• b.example.com• a.b.example.com

These wildcard entries are not supported:• *.*.example.com• example*.com• *. example.*.com• example.*.com



How It Works• When you define an FQDN in your configuration, your Firebox

performs forward DNS resolution for the specified domain and stores the IP mappings.

• For wildcard domains such as *.example.com, the device performs forward DNS resolution on example.com and www.example.com.

• To resolve the subdomains implied by *.example.com, the device analyzes DNS replies that match your FQDN configuration.

• As DNS traffic passes through the Firebox, it stores the IP mapping responses to relevant queries.



DNS Configuration• You must have a DNS server configured in the network settings of

your Firebox, or have the external interface set to DHCP or PPPoE to get a DNS configuration.

• All clients and your Firebox must use the same DNS server. If the client contains different IP and domain mappings than the Firebox,

the traffic will not match to the correct policy and could be allowed by a different policy, or dropped if no policy is matched.

• If clients try to reach an internal destination with an internal DNS server, the Firebox might not have an opportunity to analyze this traffic for local servers.

We recommend that if you use internal DNS server, they should be located on a different internal network than your clients so that the Firebox can see and analyze replies from the DNS server.



When you configure Domain Names, consider these possibilities:• An FQDN can correspond to multiple IP addresses — It is

possible that different DNS servers can return different IP address replies based on geographical location, time zone, load balancing configurations, and other factors.

• A specific IP address might map to several FQDN — When an FQDN address is resolved to an IP address, it is equivalent to having a firewall policy with that specific IP address in the policy. If another domain or subdomain also resolves to the same IP address, traffic to or from that domain will also match this policy.

• Multiple FQDN for the same site — Many website main pages pull data from other websites and second-level domains for images and other information. If you block all traffic and allow a specific FQDN, you must also allow any additional FQDN that are called by the main page. The Firebox will attempt to map IP addresses from second-level domains for a wildcard domain to provide the full content for a site.

Domain Names in Logging

Log messages show the domain names (including wildcard domains) that are matched in the log messages when a policy is applied to traffic by FQDN.


Domain Names in Reporting

Reports show the domain name that was matched when the policy was applied to traffic by FQDN.


Domain Names in Reporting

The Blocked Sites list identifies the IP addresses blocked by FQDN included in the configuration.


New Feature — QuotasNew Feature — Quotas


Bandwidth and Time Quotas


You can enable bandwidth and time usage quotas for users on your network for access to external sites.

Apply a daily limit to user Internet usage to enforce corporate acceptable use policies.

When users exceed the quota limit, a notification message appears in their web browsers and further access attempts are denied.


You can set these types of quotas:• Bandwidth — The bandwidth

quota is set in MB per day, and is enforced for all TCP and UDP traffic in both directions.

• Time — The time quota is set in minutes per day.

Both bandwidth and time quotas can be enabled at the same time, and the limit that is reached first is enforced.



Quota limits are applied to users and groups based on authentication to the Firebox.

For a quota to take effect, a user must be authenticated and match a configured policy defined with Firebox users and groups.




To enable bandwidth and time quotas, you must:• Enable quotas and create quota rules• Apply a quota action to a rule• Enable the quota rule in a policy

Enable time and bandwidth quotas Add a quota rule that defines applicable users and groups, and the

quota action to apply.



A quota action defines the bandwidth and time restrictions to apply to a quota rule.




To enforce a quota, a quota rule must be enabled for a specific policy.

The policy must be defined with users or groups to be able to apply a quota rule.


You can create exceptions to quotas so that any traffic to a specific destination address is not counted towards the usage quota.

Create exemptions for your company's own domains, or software and antivirus signature update sites.




Options to reset user quota data include:• Quota daily limits are automatically reset the next day (starting at

00:00)• Configuration changes automatically reset quotas for users and groups

that use the updated quota action• Reboot the Firebox• Manually reset quota data for specific users from the Web UI and FSM


Monitoring EnhancementsMonitoring Enhancements


Review & Reset Bandwidth and Time Quotas


Monitor user quota usage data in Fireware XTM Web UI and Firebox System Manager.• Fireware XTM Web UI — System Status > Quotas page• Firebox System Manager — Quotas tab

Quota data includes these details for each connected user:Quotas Page (Web UI) User Quotas Tab (FSM) Description

User User The user name of the connected user.

Auth Domain N/A The authentication domain through which the user is authenticated.

Quota Action Quota Action The quota action defined on your Firebox that applies to the user.

Used/Configured Bandwidth (per day)

Bandwidth Usage (per day)

The amount of bandwidth the user has already used and is allowed to use (used/allowed), for each day.

Used/Configured Time (per day) Time Usage (per day) The amount of time the user has already used and is

allowed to use (used/allowed), for each day.

Review & Reset Bandwidth and Time Quotas


Manually reset user quota data for specific users:1. Select one or more users.2. Click Reset Quota.

Gateway Wireless Controller — Rogue Access Points Use the Gateway Wireless

Controller Wireless Deployment Maps to scan for foreign wireless access points

See a list of rogue access points on the Foreign BSSIDs page

A rogue access point is any wireless access point within range of your network that is not recognized as an authorized access point.

Rogue access point can be installed by a malicious user, but could also be a device installed by someone inside your organization without consent.


Gateway Wireless Controller — Client Signal Strength The Gateway Wireless Controller in Fireware XTM Web UI and

Firebox System Manager now includes an indicator to show the wireless client signal strength.


Enhanced VPN Diagnostic Tools

VPN diagnostic messages • New VPN messages now indicate why a branch office VPN gateway or

tunnel failed, and can include information about what action to take to resolve the error.

• VPN diagnostic messages appear in three places in the UI: Firebox System Manager — Front Panel tab WatchGuard System Manager — Device Status tab Fireware XTM Web UI — System Status > VPN Statistics page

Enhanced VPN Diagnostic Report• Performs more checks to identify many of the most common VPN

issues• Provides more actionable information


VPN Diagnostic Messages

VPN diagnostic messages appear below the gateway in the Web UI and FSM.• Messages can be for

a specific tunnel or gateway endpoint.

Errors• Error status — Web

UI• Red text — FSM and

WSM. Warnings

• Warning status — Web UI.

• Orange text — FSM and WSM.


VPN Diagnostic Report Enhancements

Improved VPN Diagnostic Report• The VPN Diagnostic Report now does more extensive diagnostics

checks, and provides more information.• The report includes three new sections:

[Conclusion] — This section at the top summarizes what was observed, lists any detected errors, and includes suggestions of next steps to troubleshoot the VPN.

[Address Pairs in Firewalld] — This section shows the address pairs and the traffic direction (IN, OUT, or BOTH).

[Policy checker result] — This section shows policy checker results for policies that manage traffic for each tunnel route.

The VPN Diagnostic Report is now available in the Fireware XTM Web UI on the System Status > VPN Statistics page, as well as on the System Status > Diagnostics page.


Branch Office VPN Troubleshooting Tips

For any branch office VPN, you can run reports and monitor error messages on both endpoint devices—the initiator and the responder.• The initiator is the endpoint that starts the tunnel negotiation• The responder receives the proposal and accepts or rejects the

proposed tunnel settings from the initiator For troubleshooting VPN negotiation, run the VPN Diagnostic

Report or look at the VPN diagnostic messages on the responder.• The responder has more information about settings that do not match.

On the responder, VPN diagnostic errors include more detailed information about what setting the initiator proposed, and what setting was expected.

• The initiator does not know what settings were expected.


VPN Troubleshooting in Firebox System Manager Example — VPN diagnostic message for a mismatched Phase 2

proposal • VPN diagnostic message on

the initiator:“Received ‘No Proposal Chosen’ message. Check VPN IKE diagnostic log messages on the remote gateway endpoint for more information.”

• The VPN diagnostic message on the responder is moreinformative:

“Received ESP encryption 3DES, expecting AES”

The same messages appear in the VPN Diagnostic Report.• To run the report, right-click

the gateway and select VPN Diagnostic Report.

RapidDeploy EnhancementsRapidDeploy Enhancements


RapidDeploy CSV File — Change External Interface You can now use a CSV file to change the external interface

number. A device that starts with factory-default settings can automatically

configure the external interface from settings in a CSV file on a connected USB drive. • Previously, the only valid interface you could specify in the CSV file was

0.• A device that uses Fireware v11.10 now supports interface numbers

other than 0.• The format of the CSV file did not change. • This is most often used for RapidDeploy.

Example line in a CSV file to configure interface 2 as the external interface:70XX00777X777,2,ext,Static,203.0.113.20/24,203.0.113.1,198.51.100.20


System EnhancementsSystem Enhancements


NTP Server

After you enable a Firebox to use NTP, you can enable the device as an NTP server.• When you enable the device as

an NTP server, the NTP Server policy is automatically created.

• The NTP Server policy allows connections to the NTP server from clients on the trusted and optional networks.

Configure NTP clients to get the date and time from the interface IP address or domain name of the Firebox.


Networking EnhancementsNetworking Enhancements


Multiple Servers for DHCP Relay

In the DHCP Relay settings, you can now add the IP addresses of up to three DHCP servers.• Previously you could configure

only one IP address for DHCP Relay.

The Firebox relays DHCP requests to the IP addresses of all DHCP servers.


DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

You can enable DHCPv6 Client Prefix Delegation on an external interface. • The device requests an IPv6

prefix from a DHCPv6 server.• You can use the delegated

prefix when you configure IPv6 addresses on trusted, optional, and custom interfaces.

DHCP prefix delegation isdescribed in RFC 3633.



The delegated prefix appears on the Front Panel tab of Firebox System Manager.



You can use the delegated prefix for a trusted, optional or custom interface.• Static IPv6 interface IP address• IPv6 prefix advertisement• DHCPv6 address pool• DHCPv6 reserved addresses

Select Use delegated prefix.• The delegated prefix name appears

as the first part of the IPv6 address.• The prefix name includes the external

interface device name, followed by “_prefix”. For example “eth0_prefix”.

• Type the subnet in the adjacent text box.


Delegated prefix in the DHCPv6 address pool

Delegated prefix in a static IPv6 address



You can also enable the DHCPv6server on an interface to delegateprefixes to DHCPv6 clients.• Add prefixes to the Prefix

Pool.• To reserve a specific prefix for

a client, add the prefix to the Reserved Addresses and Prefixes list.

Improved Route Tables — Command Line Interface To see the first 100 IPv4 routes, use the “show ip route” command• Replaces the “show route” command• Output is easier to read than the output of the old show route command
