ProSecure Unified Threat Management (UTM) Appliance 6. Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the screen to start the reboot process. The UTM reboots automatically. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears. WARNING! After you have started the firmware installation process, do not interrupt the process. Do not try to go online, turn off the UTM, or do anything else to the UTM until the UTM has fully rebooted. 7. Log back in to the UTM. The System Status screen displays. 8. In the System Information section of the System Status screen, verify that the newly installed firmware is the active firmware and that the old firmware is now the secondary firmware. Note: In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it might be necessary to erase the configuration and manually reconfigure your UTM after upgrading it. Refer to the firmware release notes that NETGEAR makes available. Upgrade the Firmware from a Downloaded File and Reboot the UTM Instead of downloading the UTM firmware directly from a NETGEAR update server, you can download the UTM firmware from a NETGEAR website to a computer in your network and then upgrade the firmware on the UTM. This option prevents the UTM from taking bandwidth away from end users because the download does not occur on the UTM. This option is also convenient if you have multiple UTMs in your network, because you can download the firmware just once, make it available at a central location in your network, and then upload the firmware on each UTM. Note: Upgrading the UTM firmware from a downloaded file is also referred to as an offline upgrade. To download the latest firmware for your UTM: 1. Use one of the following two methods to go to the product support page: • Visit the NETGEAR Support website at http://support.netgear.com. In the Find Your Product field, enter the model number of your UTM (for example, enter UTM25). • Go directly to the product support page by entering http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/.asp, in which you need to replace with the model number of your UTM (for example, enter http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/utm25.asp).
