How to extract the configuration for WatchGuard Firebox X Edge Firewalls

We would recommend using HTTPS rather than HTTP for transferring your devices configuration as the latter provides no encryption. The procedure for getting the configuration from the device using HTTP(S) is as follows:

Please Note: This guide is for Nipper (v2) only. 
  1. Using your favorite web browser, connect to the HTTP(S) service provided by your Firebox X Edge for remote management. You can do this by entering "https://" (recommended) or "http://" followed by your devices IP address.
  2. Logon using your administration username and password.
  3. Click Administration followed by View Configuration
  4. Then copy and paste the displayed configuration in a .txt file and save.
