Upgrade to UTM 9.601-5 firmware doesn't start FW NAT rules on boot

Hi,

I got information from my UTM that a new firmware 9.601-5 was available. I installed it and after reboot I discover that all my NAT rules where not activated ! I had to go on each one and disable/enable them to get back the working setup :(

I did it with some of them and then reboot the UTM: again rules where not applied. Disable/enable them and evrything is OK.

For some rules I didn't apply the "automatic firewall rules" in GUI but had create myself the FW rules: those NAT rules where activated. But for NAT rules with forwarding ports to other physical hosts but *not the host himself and the VMs running on it where the UTM lies* doesn't matter which setup (manual or automatically), I have to activate "automatic FW rules" and disable/enable the rules to get them working.

No need to say that prior firmware versions didn't had this problem.

Does anyone face the same problem and confirm?

Daniel

    This WE I upgraded an software UTM to 9.7-5 and problem disappears. Only thing is that after startup, it takes few minutes before rules are applied. I will check on the others I have not yet upgraded to confirm this.

    I understand what happends: problem is NOT solved and there is no delay. To get it work you only need to disable/re-enable one rule and automagically all others are applied ! Doesn't matter which one you treat.

  • Hello Daniel,

     

    I've just updated my Sophos routers with firmware 9.700-5 and the problem is not solved.

    My worries is about NAT and FW rules that do not impact users behaviour directly who usually come to me to point out a malfunction. I mean ports like Pyzor, Razor, Spamassassin, ... that may be inactive and do not block the use of services but, in this example, takes my mail server out of date.

    I have so many rules and routers that I should disable/enable each of them to be sure none remain enabled but inactive.

    As I ponted in my previous message, no need to go over each rule: disabling/enabling just one of them and all is good.
