Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI | FortiGate Firmware |
4Make sure the FortiGate unit can connect to 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 copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the FortiGate unit:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
Where <name_str> the IP address of the imagev28.out and
is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ip4> is TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter:
execute restore image image28.out 192.168.1.168
