To upgrade the firmware using the CLI

To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP server the FortiGate-5001FA2 board can connect to.

1Make sure the TFTP server is running.

2Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

3Log into the CLI.

4Make sure the FortiGate board can connect to the TFTP server.

You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP server. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168:

execute ping 192.168.1.168

5Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the FortiGate-5001FA2 board:

execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>

Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ipv4> is the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is image.out and the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter:

execute restore image image.out 192.168.1.168

The FortiGate-5001FA2 board responds with the message:

This operation will replace the current firmware version! Do you want to continue? (y/n)

6Type y.

The FortiGate-5001FA2 board uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

7Reconnect to the CLI.

8To confirm the firmware image is successfully installed, enter:

get system status
