Configuration assistance for placing UTM between existing firewall and isp router

LAN---->Existing Firewall--->UTM LAN Interface---->UTM WAN Interface--->ISP Router--->Internet

Hi folks i need assistance regarding placing a new UTM in between the existing firewall and ISP router

2 issues i am facing currently is gateway ip address and unable to reach www

On my lan the default gateway is the UTM Lan interface ip address. With this setup i am unable to reach the internet

Since i am doing this setup on a VM, when i try from scratch and give the UTM LAN gateway the ip address of the existing firewall interface ip address , and when i try to give my UTM wan interface gateway as the ISP router, i get an message telling i cant have multiple gateways enabled and uplink balancing will be enabled.

When i remove the UTM lan gateway then i lose access to the webadmin and UTM access.

Ok if i remove the UTM WAN interface gateway (which is the ISP router) then how will the packets reach the internet and how will i receive packets to the lan from the internet

  • Yes i have done that. Still cant reach the internet. 

    whats the cli so i can see if packet from lan is reaching utm lan interface. 

    Do i need to specify another route from the UTM LAN to the local lan n/w 

  • Did you configure NAT masquerading on your existing firewall, if so than UTM see only Firewall WAN IP adresses from all requests from LAN clients.

    You can check this with tcpdump command from CLI or from looking at live firewall logs from GUI.

  • I have done only PAT on the existing firewall. Masquerading is done on the UTM only. 

    10.x.x.x.56633: Flags [P.], seq 9839440:98 39616, ack 38881, win 260, length 176 is the o/p from LAN n/w

    For the WAN n/w it says listening. 

  • Hi, are in, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I get an image of you fighting this new device, thinking it is just a dumb firewall.  WebAdmin manipulates databases of configuration objects. The configuration daemon  then consults these to write the actual lines of code that are used to run the device. A single change in one place might cause 1000 lines to be rewritten across multiple applications.

    You might get some help from #3.1 in

    When you say you can't reach the Internet, what are you doing and what do you see?

    Cheers - Bob
