Introduction

The UTM checks every 60 minutes whether a new update is available on the update servers. If a new update is available, it is automatically downloaded by the UTM. Activation is not automatic, it must be confirmed manually.
Due to the high number of UTM's that want to download an update, not all devices receive the updates at the same time. The roll out is done by the update servers.

The UTM always downloads a complete firmware image for the corresponding version.

Update detection

If the UTM has detected a new version on the update servers and has been completely downloaded, a message is displayed on the administration interface with the next login. If the message is confirmed with Yes, a forwarding to the menu → Extras →Firmware Updates takes place.

Troubleshooting

The system does not boot with the new firmware version

If the system does not boot properly after a restart, a reboot can re-enable the previous version.
The reboot can be done via the CLI (system reboot), the web interface (if accessible under → Configuration →Restart or by pressing the power switch at the back of the case.

Certain features do not behave as desired after the update

If the UTM does not work as desired after the update, a rollback can be performed.

If proper operation has not yet been confirmed, proceed as described above.

Otherwise under → Extras →Firmware updates in the section

Available version

activate the Older version with Start dry run .

Please contact support with an error description as detailed as possible.

A new version is not downloaded automatically

• A valid license is required.
• The time of the system must not deviate too much.
• The update server is not accessible. e.g. due to a too large packet size (MTU), this must be adjusted if necessary.
• The automatic update process is distributed over a period of approx. 1 week for load distribution.
• For cluster devices: Please wait until both devices have the same version for updating.
