Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training AP Firmware Availability after Upgrade  If you upgrade your Firebox to Fireware OS v from v or lower, the Firebox will not have the current AP firmware installed and available for all AP device models Starting in v , AP device firmware is installed in a different partition on the Firebox because of increasing firmware image sizes Because of this change, when you upgrade to Fireware v , you must run the upgrade process twice to correctly install the latest AP firmware on your Firebox.  AP device firmware is also not available after a factory reset of a Firebox. If you reset your Firebox, you must use the process to upgrade your Firebox to Fireware v again. 5

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Fast Handover  Encourages wireless clients that are roaming between WatchGuard AP devices to disconnect from their current AP devices and connect to an AP device with a stronger signal  Prevents wireless clients from maintaining their current AP device connection, even when the signal degrades as the wireless client moves farther away  Uses the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) as a threshold to indicate when a client should be encouraged to move to an AP device with a stronger RSSI level 6

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training  Fast Handover is only supported on WatchGuard AP300 devices  Configured on the general Access Point Settings tab  Disabled by default Fast Handover 7

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Fast Handover  Wireless clients can have very different RSSI strengths depending on the manufacturer; you must set your RSSI threshold accordingly  Fast Handover will disconnect a client when RSSI threshold is reached Check your environment to make sure APs are in range for handover based on your thresholds  We recommend that you only enable Fast Handover for AP devices in high-traffic density areas  Do not enable Fast Handover on adjacent AP devices that also have the Band Steering feature enabled Clients steered to the 5GHz band might have a drop in RSSI strength that can result in disconnections because of the Fast Handover RSSI threshold 8

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Band Steering  Encourages dual-band clients to move from 2.4GHz to 5GHz  Helps reduce congestion on the more widely-used 2.4GHz radio spectrum  Configured on the Access Point Settings tab  Disabled by default 9

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Band Steering  Only supported on WatchGuard AP300 devices  The same SSID and security mode must be configured on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios to enable wireless clients to switch frequency bands  Do not enable if the Fast Handover feature is enabled: Switching to the 5GHz band can result in a loss of RSSI strength for the client Disconnections because of the Fast Handover RSSI threshold can occur 10

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Band Steering  Band Steering is usually not required in an environment where most wireless devices are newer devices that are already optimized to choose the 5GHz band  In some cases, Band Steering can cause connectivity issues with older, legacy wireless clients that only support 2.4GHz  For these devices, we recommend that you disable Band Steering or have clients manually connect to the SSID 11

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Fast Roaming  Fast Roaming enables a wireless client to quickly handover wireless communications as it moves from one WatchGuard AP device to another  Helps provide a seamless communications transition and improves performance and stability of streaming-intensive applications such as VoIP and video streaming as you roam  Fast Roaming works by decreasing the re-authentication time for WPA2-Enterprise authentication for a wireless client on an SSID 12

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Fast Roaming  Configured in the security settings for an SSID  Only supported on WatchGuard AP300 devices  Disabled by default  Can only be enabled for WPA/WPA2 Enterprise mixed or WPA2-Enterprise protected SSIDs  Wireless client must support the k and r standards 13

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Client Limits Per Radio  Limit the number of concurrently-connected client devices for a specific radio on AP300 devices  Applied as a global limit for all configured SSIDs on a radio  Default is unlimited  You can specify a limit from 1 to

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Wireless Scan Interval  Configure the interval for automatic wireless scans for Wireless Deployment Maps and Rogue Access Point detection  Default is 1 hour  Increase the automatic scan interval to reduce wireless traffic and resource usage from scanning the wireless network 15

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Other Wireless Enhancements  Automatic AP device firmware upgrades now occur from 00:00 (midnight) to 04:00 based on the local time of the Firebox You can manually upgrade an AP device at any time  Default 2.4Ghz mode is now g/n  TKIP-only mode support has been removed from the SSID security settings TKIP is still available in mixed TKIP or AES mode  Hotspot guest account authentication is now performed over HTTP to prevent web browser HTTPS certificate warnings 20

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training APT Blocker Support for the POP3-proxy  You can now enable APT Blocker for a POP3-proxy policy  Before you can enable APT Blocker for the POP3-proxy, you must enable Gateway AntiVirus on your Firebox  The Drop, Block, and Quarantine actions strip the attachment before the message is delivered 21

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Default Firebox Certificate Upgrades  SHA-1 is being deprecated by many popular web browsers, and WatchGuard recommends that you now use SHA-256 certificates  New certificate signing requests (CSR) now use SHA-256 as the default signature hash algorithm  Newly generated default Firebox certificates use the SHA-256 algorithm with a 2048-bit key length  Default certificates are not automatically upgraded after you install Fireware v To upgrade and regenerate any default Firebox certificate to use SHA-256 and a 2048-bit key length, delete the certificate and reboot the Firebox You can also use the CLI to manually upgrade specific certificates 22

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Default Firebox Certificate Upgrades  The Proxy Server certificate is used for inbound HTTPS with content inspection and SMTP with TLS inspection. The Proxy Authority certificate is used for outbound HTTPS with content inspection. The two certificates are linked because the default Proxy Server certificate is signed by the default Proxy Authority certificate.  You can upgrade the default Proxy Authority and Proxy Server certificates with the Fireware CLI. After you upgrade, you must redistribute the new Proxy Authority certificate to your clients. Without the new certificate, users will receive web browser warnings when they browse HTTPS sites, if content inspection is enabled. There are special considerations if you use a third-party Proxy Server certificate: – The CLI command will not work unless you first delete the Proxy Authority certificate. The CLI command will regenerate both the Proxy Server and Proxy Authority default certificates. – If you originally used a third-party tool to create the CSR, you can simply re- import your existing third-party certificate and private key. – If you originally created your CSR from the Firebox, you must create a new CSR to be signed, and then import a new third-party certificate. 23

Copyright ©2015 WatchGuard Technologies, Inc. All Rights Reserved WatchGuard Training Default Firebox Certificate Upgrades  To upgrade the default Proxy Authority and Proxy Server certificates for use with HTTPS content inspection, you can use the CLI command: upgrade certificate proxy  To upgrade the Firebox web server certificate, use the CLI command: upgrade certificate web  To upgrade the SSLVPN certificate, use the CLI command: upgrade certificate sslvpn  To upgrade the 802.1x certificate, use the CLI command: upgrade certificate 8021x 24
