Setting up a UTM with the installation wizard

Last adaptation to the version: 14.0.1 (01.2025)

New:
notempty
This article refers to a Resellerpreview
Access: Configuration  Area Installation wizard

Prefaces

  • Usually, the installation wizard appears during the initial setup of the UTM.
    This checks whether a configuration already exists that is marked as the boot configuration.

(Status )
If this is not the case, the wizard opens automatically.

  • It is not advisable to start the installation wizard later, as other settings made in the meantime may be overwritten.


Installation wizard

Step 1 - General

Caption Value Description Installation wizard UTMuser@firewall.name.fqdnConfiguration management UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 1-en.pngStep 1
Firewall Name: firewall.ttt-point.local This is about how the UTM responds to requests.
For example, if the mail relay is to be used, it may be useful to enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the mail exchange (MX) here so that other mail servers can match it via the reverse resolution of the PTR Resource Record (PTR).
  • This setting is not about the name under which the UTM is listed in an active directory domain.
  • Global contact person: Alina Admin In this field, the name of the administrator or the organization is entered, which is later specified in the UTM error messages for questions.
    Global email address: admin@ttt-point.de Important system messages are sent to this email address.
    Language of reports: German
    English
    Language in which the reports and system messages are sent

    Step 2 - Privacy

    Anonymize all applications Yes When activated (default), the appliance's applications are anonymized in accordance with the GDPR.
    Under Authentication Information privacy anonymization can also be activated individually for each application.
  • Should be disabled for debugging only.

    Step 3 - Internal

    Without WLAN module
    Without WLAN module
    Internal firewall IP address: 192.168.175.1/24 The IP address of the internal interface (
    ) as well as the subnet mask (as CIDR-notation) for the internal network.
    UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 3a-en.png
    Step 3 - without WLAN module
    Dynamically assign Client IP Addresses via DHCP: No When enabled Yes, the UTM works as a DHCP server: All clients in the internal network receive an IP address via DHCP. This sets the UTM as the default gateway and DNS server for the clients.
    Router Advertisement: Off If the UTM has received an IPv6 prefix, it can advertise the subnet via router advertisement in the network segment behind the interface. (See article IPv6 Prefix Delegation)
    With WLAN module

    Step 3 - with WLAN module
    Dynamically assign Client IP Addresses via DHCP: No When enabled Yes, the UTM works as a DHCP server: All clients in the internal network receive an IP address via DHCP. This sets the UTM as the default gateway and DNS server for the clients.
    Generate WLAN Bridge: No
    Default
    Creates a bridge so that this network and the WLAN are on the same network.
    Generate portfilter rule:
    Shown when Generate WLAN Bridge is enabled
    No When activated, a port filter rule is automatically generated
    STP:
    Shown when Generate WLAN Bridge is enabled
    Off When activated, STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is used
    STP Bridge Priority:
    Shown when Generate WLAN Bridge is enabled
    32768Link=
    Default
    The priority of the STP Bridge is set

    Step 4 - Internet

    This is where the Internet connection is configured on the external interface (
    ).
    The following variations are available:
    Connection type PPPoE / VDSL
    Connection type: PPPoE / VDSL
    With this type, an ADSL or SDSL modem is connected to the external interface (
    ). The connection is initiated by the UTM.
  • A router can only be used with this connection type if it can be set to modem mode and it can be guaranteed that the UTM will initiate the connection.
  • Username: (Shares ISP) The login information is provided by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 4a-en.png
    Step 4 with PPPoE / VDSL
    Password: (Shares ISP)
    PPPoE for VDSL/fiber optics: Off Check the box if PPPoE is connected via a VDSL modem or via fibre.
    VLAN ID:
    Shown when PPPoE for VDSL/fiber optics is enabled
    7 Die VLAN-ID wird in der Regel vom Netzbetreiber vorgegeben
    IPv6 Prefix Delegation: Off Allows an IPv6 network assigned by the to be split into /64 networks and assigned to individual interfaces via Router Advertisement.

    Die Option DNS-Server des Providers verwenden wurde in Schritt 5 verschoben
    Connection type Ethernet with static IP
    Connection type:Ethernet with static IP
    With this connection type, a router is connected to the external interface (
    ), which itself initiates the connection to the Internet. The login information of the provider is stored in the preceding router and not on the UTM.
  • This connection type cannot be used with a modem or router in modem mode.
  • External IP address: 192.168.178.101/24 The IP address of the external interface (
    ) and the IP address range for the external network (subnet mask in CIDR notation). The default is an already existing IP address, if applicable.
    The external interface receives an IP address via DHCP by default, provided a DHCP server is available in the external network.
    UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 4b-en.png
    Step 4 with Ethernet with static IP
    Default Gateway: 192.168.178.1/---  IP address of the default gateway for the UTM so that it knows which is the closest router for all networks that are not on an internal interface: As a rule: the Internet.
    IPv6 Prefix Delegation: Off Allows an IPv6 network assigned by the to be split into /64 networks and assigned to individual interfaces via Router Advertisement.
    Connection type Cable modem with DHCP
    Connection type: Cable modem with DHCP
    e.g.: DSL connection via telephone line with Fritzbox or Speedport router.
    Originally mostly devices that cable providers provided to their customers.
    Also with this connection type, a router is connected to the external interface (
    ), which itself initiates the connection to the Internet. The login information of the provider is stored in the preceding router and not on the UTM.
  • This connection type cannot be used with a modem or router in modem mode.
  • UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 4c-en.png
    Schritt 4 mit Kabelmodem mit DHCP
    DHCP Client: IPv4 Selection with which protocol the interface receives IP addresses from the preceding router with DHCP server.
    IPv6
    IPv4 & IPv6
    Use the provider's DNS server: Off When activated, the provider's DNS server is used.
    IPv6 Prefix Delegation: Off Allows an IPv6 network assigned by the to be split into /64 networks and assigned to individual interfaces via Router Advertisement.
    Connection type LTE / others
    Connection type: LTE / others
    LTE connections or other connections are configured after the installation wizard is completed

    Schritt 5 - DNS Forwarding

    notempty
    Neuer Schritt ab v14.0.1

    Hier kann das DNS Forwarding des Nameservers konfiguriert werden. Es gibt die gleichen Optionen wie unter Applications Nameserver  Area DNS Forwarding. Für genauere Informationen siehe den Artikel zum Nameserver.

    UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 5-en.png
    Schritt 5
    Use the provider's DNS server: On When activated, the provider's DNS server is used.

    Step 6 - DMZ

    Configuration of a second internal network, often referred as .
    In the UTM, all networks are separated from each other by default.

    DMZ IP address: 192.168.176.1/24 The IP address of the interface A2 and the subnet mask (as CIDR notation) for the DMZ network. UTM v14.0.1 Installationsassistent Schritt 6b-en.png
    Step 6 with WLAN
    Assign the IP addresses to the clients in this network via DHCP: No When enabled Yes, the UTM works as a DHCP server: All clients in the DMZ network receive an IP address via DHCP. This sets the UTM as the default gateway and DNS server for the clients.
    Autogenerated rules: No Port filtering rules can be automatically created for this network, allowing traffic to the Internet on the interface to the external interface (
    ).
    Likewise, rules are created that also allow traffic from the internal network into the DMZ network.
  • These rules release all from this network to the Internet and other internal networks.
    notempty
    These any rules are intended for testing purposes and should be disabled and replaced with well-defined rules in production mode.
  • Router Advertisement: No If the UTM has received an IPv6 prefix, it can advertise the subnet via router advertisement in the network segment behind the interface. (See article IPv6 Prefix Delegation)
    Generate WLAN Bridge:
    Only if a WLAN module is present
    No Creates a bridge so that this network and the WLAN are on the same network.

    Step 7 - WLAN

    This step appears only if in the used hardware has a WLAN module installed.
    Otherwise, this step is skipped.

  • For long-term use of WLAN (>30 days) a special license is required
  • WLAN IP address:
    Not in bridge mode
    192.168.177.1/24 The IP address of the WLAN interface (wlan0) and the subnet mask (as CIDR notation) for the WLAN network.
    In bridge mode, the setting from the internal network in which bridge mode was activated is used here.

    Step 7: WLAN dialog when using a bridge
    Country code: DE The country code is used to determine which frequencies and which signal strengths may be used.
    SSID: TTT-POINT The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name under which the WLAN network is presented to the clients. This must be entered in any case.
    SSID Broadcast: On This option can be used to define whether the WLAN network can be seen by every client or whether the transmission of the SSID should be suppressed. (Off)
    Security Mode: WPA Is considered unsafe and only exists for backwards compatibility. (TKIP is used as encryption method)
    WPA2 Standard with enhanced security
    WPA3 Standard with highest available level of security
    Pre-Shared Key: Don'tcopythis:Ei)#W~X$… The base station and mobile device must have the same PSK (≙password). The security of the encryption depends directly on the length and complexity of the PSK!
  • Short or easily guessed PSKs compromise network security.
  • Automatically generates a very strong PSK
    Assign the IP addresses to the clients in this network via DHCP:
    Not in bridge mode
    Off When enabled, the UTM works as a DHCP server: All clients in the WLAN network receive an IP address via DHCP. This sets the UTM as the default gateway and DNS server for the clients.
    In bridge mode, the setting from the internal network in which bridge mode was activated is used here.
    Router Advertisement: No If the UTM has received an IPv6 prefix, it can advertise the subnet via router advertisement in the network segment behind the interface. (See article IPv6 Prefix Delegation)
    Generate rules for Internet access:
    Not in bridge mode
    Off Port filtering rules can be automatically created for this network, allowing traffic to the Internet on the interface to the external interface (
    ). Likewise, rules are created that also allow data traffic from the internal network into the WLAN network.
  • These rules release all from this network to the Internet and other internal networks.
    notempty
    These any rules are intended for testing purposes and should be disabled and replaced with well-defined rules in production mode.

  • In bridge mode, the setting from the internal network in which bridge mode was activated is used here.

    Step 8 - Certificate

    Generate CA and server certificate: Yes
    Default
    If Yes is enabled, a CA and server certificate will be generated.
  • The boxes Country, Organization and Department are preset depending on the license entered, but can also be changed here.
