Version
7.2.1 - WildFire local appliance is not supported in earlier releases.
Topic
When trying to add a local WildFire appliance as a bit9 connector, you get the message "Unable to connect to appliance: WildFire not accessible."
Possible Workaround
Testing of Wildfire local appliance might show "Wildfire not accessible", but appliance still works. This will be resolved in the next patch. Workaround is to just save the settings and use the local Wildfire appliance (without testing).
Additional Troubleshooting
Confirm there are no firewalls or proxy between the Bit9 console and the WildFire appliance.
From the Bit9 machine, open a web browser and go to the Wildfire URL to test connectivity.
What are the results when you try to ping the WF appliance from the Bit9 Server?
What are the results when you run a trace route from the Bit9 server to the WF appliance?
