Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI

FortiGate Firmware

9Type the address of the TFTP server and press Enter: The following message appears:

Enter Local Address [192.168.1.188]:

10Type an IP address the FortiGate unit can use to connect to the TFTP server. The IP address can be any IP address that is valid for the network the interface is connected to. Make sure you do not enter the IP address of another device on this network.

The following message appears:

Enter File Name [image.out]:

11Enter the firmware image filename and press Enter.

The TFTP server uploads the firmware image file to the FortiGate unit and a message similar to the following appears:

Save as Default firmware/Backup firmware/Run image without saving: [D/B/R]

12Type D.

The FortiGate unit installs the new firmware image and restarts. The installation might take a few minutes to complete.

Restoring the previous configuration

Change the internal interface address, if required. You can do this from the CLI using the following command:

config system interface edit <interface>

set ip <address_ip4mask>

set allowaccess {pinghttpssshtelnethttp}

end

After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the web-based manager and restore the configuration.

Backup and Restore from a USB key

Use a USB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file. You should always make sure a USB key is properly install before proceeding since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.

Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the configuration file. An encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB Auto-Install feature.

To backup configuration using the CLI

1Log into the CLI.

2Enter the following command to backup the configuration files: exec backup config usb <filename>

3Enter the following command to check the configuration files are on the key: exec usb-disk list
