Preparation

Careful preparation of even simple steps is a prerequisite for successful installation

Have login information ready

  • When operating on a modem or fiber optic connection:
  • Have login information of the Internet service provider ready
    • Who has the current login information of the ISP?
    • Is the login information available at the installation site?
    • Is the login information available at the time of installation?
    • if applicable: Is the person who has the login information available at the time of installation?
  • When operating with a router:
    • What is the IP address of the router?
    • Can the UTM get a fixed IP?
    • For new installations, DHCP is activated on the external interface
      New as of 12.2.3
  • Local network:
    • What is the network IP of the local network(s)?
    • Which IP addresses should the interfaces of the UTM in these networks receive?
      As a rule, this should always be a fixed IP address!

Prepare firmware update

Why should a firmware update be done?

  • If an existing configuration file is to be used, the installed firmware version must be identical or newer.
  • Latest features and patches are available immediately.
    Several firmware versions may have been released between the manufacturing and delivery.
  • Damage due to manipulation of the firmware in transit (unlikely, but not impossible) can thus be excluded.
  • A USB stick with the UTM image is required.
    This Securepoint Imaging Tool can be used. (Resellerportal → Menu  DownloadsTools x )
  • Connect keyboard and monitor
  • Monitor connection type see table below the figure


  • v12 is mandatory, since the installed MMC is not supported by the UTM v11
  • When installing/updating via USB stick, use the image first UTM v12.x - Interactive installation UTM Software v12 - USB-Image
    (not Autoinstall or Autoupdate)
    • Switch on the UTM
    • Under Save & Exit execute Restore Defaults
      The USB stick should then be listed at the top of the boot menu of the device, preceded by the TAG UEFI
    • Execute under Save & Exit Save Changes and Reset
    • Perform installation/ update

    Firmware installation

    The installation of the firmware is done in a few steps. The preselected options only need to be confirmed.

    Installation der Firmware

    Die Installation der Firmware geschieht in wenigen Schritten. Die Optionen der Vorauswahl muss lediglich bestätigt werden.


    • Anzeige und Bestätigung der Lizenzbedingungen
    • Entscheidung, ob ggf. ein Upgrade durchgeführt werden soll
      Default: Upgrade
    • Auswahl der Festplatte, auf der die Firmware installiert werden soll
    • Start der Installation
    • Aufforderung, den USB-Stick zu entfernen
    • Reboot
    • Anzeige der Login Konsole

    Integration into the local network

    Adjust IP addresses of the UTM via CLI

    If administration via the CLI is not an issue, the IP adresses can be provided directly to the UTM via CLI
    In this case, the monitor and keyboard remain directly connected to the UTM.
    The login is done on the console.


    To be able to administer the UTM, the admin interface must be accessed via the IP of the UTM and the port of the admin interface via the interface LAN2.
    In the factory settings, the UTM can be reached via https://192.168.175.1:11115.
    If the IP or the interface cannot be reached from the local network, changes must be made.

    1. Connecting keyboard and monitor directly to the UTM
    2. Log in to the UTM: Username Admin / Password: insecure
    3. the Command Line Interface appears.
    4. change network configuration:
      1. Determine the existing interfaces: interface get
      2. Determine the ID of the IP addresses: interface address get
        LAN2 corresponds to the internal interface through which the admin interface can be reached.
        The ID is needed for changing the IP address in the next step.
      3. Change the interface IPs: interface address set id 1 address 192.168.12.1/24
        system update interface
        (desired IP of the internal network with subnet mask)
      4. Activate an interface: interface address new device LAN1 or A0 address 192.168.x.y/24
        system update interface
    5. Set up administration access:
      In the factory settings, access to the admin interface of the UTM is only possible via the internal interface LAN2. If the admin interface is to be accessible via another interface, the IP of the host (or a net IP with subnet mask) must be released:
      manager new hostlist 192.168.168.0/24
      system update rule
      Here: All hosts in the network 192.168.168.0 (no matter at which interface) can access the admin interface
      Attention: If e.g. the IP 192.168.175.1 is at LAN1 or A0 and the admin interface should be called from a computer in the network at LAN1, the IP 192.168.175.x must be released extra nevertheless.
    Adjust the IP address of your own computer
    The IP address of your own computer is temporarily adapted to the default network of the internal interface of the UTM.

    This is followed by connecting your own computer to interface A1 (the internal interface) of the UTM.
    The correct interface can be seen in the figure and table above.

    This is how it works

      • Default gateway:192.168.175.1 (=Default address of the internal interface of the UTM)











    Change IP address on Linux
    Please refer to the corresponding documentation of the used distribution.

    Examples for Ubunutu:

    • Opening the terminal
    • Identify the name of the interface: ip a
    • Change IP address: (In the example enp0s3 is the interface used: sudo ip address add 192.168.175.2/24 dev enp0s3
    Change IP address on a MAC
    Change IP address on a MAC
    IP-Adresse aendern mac.png
    • Menu System settings / network
    • Configure IPv4: ManuellLink= select in the dropdown menu
    • IP address:192.168.175.2
    • Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
    • Router:192.168.175.1 (=Default address of the internal interface of the UTM)
    • Button:Apply
    notempty
    After finishing the installation wizard and rebooting, the UTM is located in another network.
    For further configuration, the IP address of your own computer must then be changed again.

    Setting the original IP address:

    • Fixed IP Addresses: Enter as described above
    • Enable DHCP:
      • Windows: Properties Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCPIPv4) → select Obtain an IP address automatically
      • Linux: Example for Ubuntu: sudo ip address del 192.168.175.2/24 dev enp0s3
        sudo dhclient enp0s3

        If necessary, refer to the documentation of the distribution used.
      • MAC: coming soon...

    First access

    If not already done, the following connections must be made now physically:

    • Connect interface for the external interface (A0) towards the Internet (modem, router, etc.).
    • Connect the internal interface (A1)
      • with your own computer, if the IP address has been adjusted on it.
      • to the network from which the UTM is to be administered, if the IP address of the UTM has been adjusted.

  • The admin interface is available at port 11115. Access:
    https://192.168.175.1:11115 (Default) or
    https://172.16.0.1:11115, if the IP address of the UTM was changed to 172.16.0.1
  • When the admin interface is called up for the first time, a certificate warning appears in the browser.
    Since the browser doesn't know the certificate of the UTM, a security warning is issued.
    This warning must be ignored.

    Commissioning with a cloud backup

    If the restore is to be run with a cloud backup, all that is required is an Internet connection.
    Due to the association with the license file, the corresponding cloud backups are automatically displayed in the → Configuration →Configuration ManagementTab Cloud Backup menu.
    Simply start the installation wizard and fill only step 4 (Internet) with the correct data.



    Commissioning with locally available configuration backup

    If a local backup is available, it can be imported in the Configuration management.

    Import configuration

    Import configuration
    Imports the configuration of a (different) Securepoint UTM.
    Select the config file with Browse
    Import with the Upload button.
  • The appliance being imported into must have the same or a higher version than the configuration file being imported.
  • As of version 12, only configurations from a UTM v11.8.x and higher are imported.
    If an older configuration file must be used, it can first be imported into a (virtual) UTM with version 11.8.x. From there, the configuration can be exported again and imported into a v12.
