Testing a new firmware image before installing it

Additional CLI Commands for the FortiUSB key

Use the following CLI commands when you want to delete a file from the FortiUSB key, list what files are on the key, including formatting the key or renaming a file:

•exec usb-disk list

•exec usb-disk delete <filename>

•exec usb-disk format

•exec usb-disk rename <old_filename1> <old_filename2>

Note: If you are trying to delete a configuration file from the CLI command interface, and the filename contains spaces, you will need quotations around the filename before you can delete the file from the FortiUSB key.

Testing a new firmware image before installing it

You can test a new firmware image by installing the firmware image from a system reboot and saving it to system memory. After completing this procedure, the FortiWiFi unit operates using the new firmware image with the current configuration. This new firmware image is not permanently installed. The next time the FortiWiFi unit restarts, it operates with the originally installed firmware image using the current configuration. If the new firmware image operates successfully, you can install it permanently using the procedure “Upgrading to a new firmware version” on page 65.

Use this procedure to test a new firmware image before installing it. To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable/console port. This procedure temporarily installs a new firmware image using your current configuration.

For this procedure you:

•Access the CLI by connecting to the FortiWiFi console port using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable/console port.

•Install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiWiFi internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as the internal interface.

To test a new firmware image

1Connect to the CLI using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable/console port.

2Make sure the TFTP server is running.

3Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

4Make sure the internal interface is connected to the same network as the TFTP server.

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

execute ping 192.168.1.168

5Enter the following command to restart the FortiWiFi unit: execute reboot
