Upgrade from Fireware XTM v11.x to v11.3.2

Before you upgrade from Fireware XTM v11.x to Fireware XTM v11.3.2, go to the WatchGuard Software Downloads Center. Download and save the file that matches the WatchGuard device you want to upgrade. You can use Policy Manager or the Web UI to complete the upgrade procedure. We strongly recommend that you back up your device configuration before you upgrade.

If you are currently running v11.0 or v11.0.1 on your Firebox X Edge e-Series, you must upgrade to v11.0.2 before you upgrade to v11.3.2 to avoid possible file system corruption. This issue does not apply to any other model.

From the Web UI:

  1. Go to System > Backup Image and back up your current configuration file.
  2. On your management computer, launch the OS executable file you downloaded from the WatchGuard Software Downloads Center. This installation extracts an upgrade file called utm_[Firebox_model].sysa-dl to the default location of C:\Program Files\Common files\WatchGuard\resources\FirewareXTM\11.3.2\[Firebox_model]
  3. Connect to your Firebox with the Web UI and select System > Upgrade OS.
  4. Browse to the location of the utm_[Firebox_model].sysa-dl file from Step 1 and click Upgrade.

From Policy Manager:

  1. From File > Backup, back up your current configuration file.
  2. On your management computer, launch the OS executable file you downloaded from the WatchGuard Software Downloads Center. This installation extracts an upgrade file called utm_[Firebox_model].sysa-dl to the default location of C:\Program Files\Common files\WatchGuard\resources\FirewareXTM\11.3.2\[Firebox_model]
  3. Open WatchGuard System Manager v11.3.2. Connect to your Firebox and launch Policy Manager.
  4. From Policy Manager, select File > Upgrade. When prompted, browse to and select the utm_[Firebox_model].sysa-dl file from Step 1.

Upgrade WatchGuard server software

It is not necessary to uninstall your v11.0.x server or client software when you update from v11.0.1 or higher to Fireware XTM v11.3.2. You can install the v11.3.2 server and client software on top of your existing installation to upgrade your WatchGuard software components.
