XTMv Setup Guide 1

XTMv Setup

WatchGuard® XTM security appliances deliver unparalleled unified threat management, superior

performance, ease of use, and value for your growing network. Our security subscriptions give you fullyintegrated protection from spyware, spam, viruses, worms, trojans, web-based exploits, and blended threats.

From firewall and VPN protection to secure remote access, WatchGuard devices support a broad range of

network environments.

This guide introduces the WatchGuard XTMv, a security appliance that runs as a virtual machine on a VMware

ESXi host.

Fireware XTM

WatchGuard XTMv supports WatchGuard’s next generation UTM OS—Fireware® XTM. Each XTMv virtualmachine includes Fireware XTM and delivers exceptional protection against today's sophisticated threats to

make sure that your business stays connected. For more information about the features of Fireware XTM OS,

see the v11.5.x Fireware XTM WatchGuard System Manager Help or Fireware XTM Web UI Help.

WatchGuard XTMv

A WatchGuard XTMv virtual machine runs on a VMware ESXi 4.1 host. You can use WatchGuard System

Manager, Fireware XTM Web UI, and Command Line Interface (CLI) to manage an XTMv virtual machine, just

as you manage any other WatchGuard XTM device. XTMv supports most features of Fireware XTM, except a

few features that are hardware-dependent.

Fireware XTM features not supported on Fireware XTMv include:

o FireCluster

o Hardware diagnostics CLI commands

o Automatically save a support snapshot to a USB drive

o Automatically restore a saved backup image to a USB drive



Setup Guide 3

XTMv Installation

XTMv Installation

Before You Begin

To prepare for your installation, make sure you have these things:

o VMware ESXi 4.1 host installed on a supported server platform

o VMware vSphere 4.1 client installed on a Windows computer, or vCenter Server v4.1.

o XTMv device serial number You receive the serial number when you purchase the XTMv virtual device.

o WatchGuard XTMv virtual appliance Open Virtual Machine Format (OVF) file The file name is xtmv_<version>.ova, where <version> is the Fireware XTM version.

o (optional) WatchGuard System Manager v11.5.2 or higher

Download the XTMv .ovf template file and the WatchGuard System Manager software from the Articles and

Software section of the WatchGuard Portal at www.watchguard.com.

Installation Overview

To complete initial installation you must perform these procedures described in the subsequent sections:

1. In the VMware vSphere 4.1 client, deploy the XTMv virtual appliance to the ESXi host and power on the

XTMv virtual machine.

2. Connect to the XTMv virtual machine to run the Web Setup Wizard to set up a basic configuration.

3. Allocate additional resources to the XTMv virtual machine.

This guide describes how to use the Web Setup Wizard to create your initial configuration. If WatchGuard

System Manager is installed on a computer on the XTMv device trusted network, you can use the Quick Setup

Wizard in WatchGuard System Manager instead of the Web Setup Wizard to discover the XTMv virtual

machine and set up the basic device configuration.

Note

To activate your device in the Web Setup Wizard, you must have the device serial number. You cannot

use the serial number V1C5000000000, which is the default serial number for an unactivated device.

Network Considerations

When you deploy the XTMv virtual appliance, it is initially configured with two active interfaces.

External interface

The external interface, Interface 0, is set up by default to request an IP address from a DHCP server. If

you want to connect to this interface to do the initial device configuration, you must map this

interface to a destination network that has a DHCP server.Trusted interface

The trusted interface, Interface 1, has a default IP address of 10.0.1.1.

When you deploy the XTMv virtual appliance to the ESXi device, you map each of these interfaces to a

destination network.

After you deploy the XTMv virtual machine, you can enable and configure additional XTMv network interfaces.

For additional interfaces to operate, you must configure the XTMv virtual machine in the vSphere Client or

vCenter Server to add the number of network adapters you want to enable in the XTMv configuration.

5. Click View all to see all assigned IP addresses.

XTMv Factory Default Settings

When you power on the XTMv virtual machine for the first time, it starts with factory default settings.

o The XTMv device has two active interfaces, external, and trusted.

o The trusted interface has the IP address 10.0.1.1.

o The external interface is configured to receive an IP address via DHCP.

o The trusted interface is not configured to assign IP addresses via DHCP. This is different than the default setting for other XTM devices.

o Both the Trusted and External interfaces accept management connections. This is different than the default setting for other XTM devices.

o The admin account passphrase is readwrite.

o The serial number for an unactivated XTMv device is V1C5000000000. You configure the actual serial number during device activation.

Use the Web Setup Wizard to Create a Basic Configuration

The Fireware XTM Web Setup Wizard is almost the same for an XTMv virtual machine as it is for any other

WatchGuard XTM device. One difference, is that for an XTMv virtual machine, you can connect to either the

trusted interface or the external interface to run the Web Setup Wizard.

Note

If you do not complete all of the setup wizard steps within 15 minutes, the wizard does not save your

settings, and you must log in and start again.

Use these steps to set up the basic configuration on an XTMv virtual machine.

1. Connect to the Fireware XTM Web UI on either the external or the trusted interface.

Connect to the external interface

If the external interface has been assigned an IP address, you can connect to that interface.

From any computer on the XTMv external network, open a web browser and type this URL:https://<External_IP_Address>:8080

For <External_IP_Address>, use the IP address you found in step 4 of the previous procedure.

Connect to the trusted interface

From any computer on the XTMv trusted network, open a web browser and type this URL: https://10.0.1.1:8080

XTMv Installation

If you have the serial number, but do not have the feature key — Use Online Activation

If the XTMv virtual machine has an Internet connection on the external interface, the wizard can

activate the device and automatically download a feature key . To use online activation, you must

provide this information:

o Device Name — A name to identify this device in your account on the WatchGuard web siteo Serial Number — The XTMv device serial number you received when you purchased the

device - this is different from the default serial number, V1C5000000000, which is the serial

number for an unactivated device.

o User Name — The user name you use to log in to the WatchGuard web site

o Password — The password you use to log in to the WatchGuard web site

Click Next to start online activation.

If you have already have the feature key — Add the feature key manually

If you have activated the XTMv device on the WatchGuard web site, and you have saved the

feature key to a local file, you can paste the feature key into the Wizard. To add the feature key

manually, select Skip Online Activation. Then select Add the feature key. Copy and paste the

text from the local feature key file into the text box. Click Next.

If you do not have the serial number or feature key — Skip activation

If you do not have the serial number or feature key, you can skip activation completely and finish

the wizard. This saves your other configuration settings. If you skip activation, you must add the

feature key later in the Fireware XTM Web UI or WatchGuard System Manager. Your device does

not have full functionality until it has the feature key to enable the purchased feature set. To skip

activation, select Skip Online Activation. Then select Skip this step.

13. Review and apply your settings. The summary page of the wizard shows the settings you chose. Click

Next to apply the settings. The Setup is Complete page appears.

After the Setup Wizard Finishes

After you complete the Web Setup Wizard, the XTM virtual machine is configured with a basic configurationthat allows outbound TCP, UDP, and ping traffic, and blocks all unrequested external traffic, except

management connections.

For an XTMv virtual machine, the default WatchGuard and WatchGuard Web UI policies allow management

connections from any computer on the trusted, optional or external networks. This is different from the

default configuration for other WatchGuard devices, which do not allow management connections from the

external network. If you do not want to allow management connections from the external network, edit these

policies, to remove the Any-External alias from the From list. To allow management from only a specific

computer on the external network, you can add the address of that management computer to the From list

in these policies.

You can use Fireware XTM Web UI, WatchGuard System Manager, or the Fireware XTM Command Line

Interface (CLI) to expand or change the configuration for your XTMv virtual machine. You can connect to

either the trusted or external interface from any computer on the same network.

If you changed the IP address of the interface you used to connect to the Fireware XTM Web Setup Wizard, you

must use the new address to connect to manage the device.

Fireware XTM Web UI

To connect to your XTMv virtual machine with the Fireware XTM Web UI, in the web browser, type:

https://<interface_ip_address>:8080

Use the admin account and the admin passphrase you configured in the wizard.
