Upgrade path for UTM 220

Sujay D'Souza

Hello

We have some Sophos UTM 220 firewalls which we have been running in production for some time now. We were looking to upgrade these. Sophos support says due to the number of ports on the 220 the recommended path is the 230. The number of ports seem to be the same on the 210 and the 230 though. Does anyone have any experience upgrading and exporting/importing the configuration from a UTM 220 to a SG 210?

Any input would be appreciated

    Hi Sujay and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Here's the prescription I give to my clients

    1. If needed, do a quick, temporary install so that the new device can download Up2Dates.
    2. Apply the desired Up2Dates (if possible, stop at 9.509 today) and do a factory reset.
    3. On the current UTM in use, on the 'Hardware' tab of 'Interfaces', assign the MAC as the Virtual MAC for the NICs in use.
    4. Create a backup and load it onto a USB memory stick.
    5. Reboot the new device with the USB memory stick in place and remove the memory stick after the boot is complete.
    6. Connect a PC to the new device, upload the license for the new device and then disconnect the PC, leaving the new device powered up.
    7. Power down the old device and move the cables to the new device.  Done.

    Cheers - Bob
    I've clients that have gone from a 220 to an SG 135, SG 210 and SG 330.  A good reseller can give you a personalized recommendation.
