How to upgrade existing UTM 9.3 Home configuration to XG Firewall Home?

JasonMiles

Am currently running Sophos UTM 9.3 Home Edition.  Is it possible to upgrade directly from UTM 9.3 to XG Firewall Home edition? Or import an existing UTM 9.3 configuration backup into a new install of XG Firewall Home edition?

Has anyone successfully managed to do this?

    Hi Jason,

    You cannot migrate UTM 9 directly to XG. You need to download the Sophos XG OS and reimage the system.

    I am curious to know if there is any specific requirement to migrate to XG because by doing so you will need to setup the network configurations from the scratch, as we are yet to develop a migration tool. Before migrating to XG, I would recommend you to deploy it on a spare system and explore the potential is has. If your network suite and compliments XG features, go for it.

    Thanks

    Print the config of your UTM to PDF.  As a PD you can copy and paste as you need.

    Use that as your reference -- Rules will change so you can just reference and compose as you need.

    Do not name anything TV as "TV" is a domain.  Instead use MAINLGTV or SONYTELEVSION as an example.

    Find the MAC id's of all your home devices.  Make a table for reference in a txt file.  You may wish to make allowances for the MAC to IP in your DHCP rules as well as clientless user on that same IP address.  Table references do help.  Rules fo IP --> Port --> IP Address so if you have your doco...

    Hope that helps.

    As Endpoints are managed in Central so that is no loger on the UTM.  Again you will need to reference your Exclusions etc.. from the UTM printed configuration.

    Herr Gerald,

    Happy New Year!

     

    In the UTM 9506 Interface:

    Go to Support

    Go to Printable Configuration

    Generate Report

    Allow the pop up

    Scroll to the bottom of the popup

    in the section:

    Alternatively, you can view the whole storage on a single page:            

    choose "In WebAdmin format."

    Surf your configuration or print to PDF

    most my sites are around 200 pages but you can use Control + F to find passwords to SSID and Interfaces and objects.

    Surf away and let me know how you go.
