Applies To: Cloud-managed Fireboxes, WatchGuard Cloud-managed Access Points
When you save configuration changes for a cloud-managed Firebox or access point, the configuration settings are stored in WatchGuard Cloud. To create a configuration update for the device to download, you must schedule a deployment. From the Deployment History page, you can view information about previous deployments and create or update a scheduled deployment.
For initial deployment of a device in the factory-default state, when it first connects to WatchGuard Cloud, it receives the WatchGuard defined initial configuration. The device receives the initial configuration as part of the first deployment, or, when a template is applied to the device before deployment of the initial configuration, the initial configuration is skipped and included as part of the next configuration update.
