Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI

If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version, you might not be able to restore the previous configuration from the backup configuration file.

Note: Installing firmware replaces your current antivirus and attack definitions, along with the definitions included with the firmware release you are installing. After you install new firmware, make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date. For details, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

To install firmware from a system reboot

1Connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable.

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.

5To confirm the FortiGate unit can connect to the TFTP server, 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

6Enter the following command to restart the FortiGate unit.

execute reboot

The FortiGate unit responds with the following message:

This operation will reboot the system!

Do you want to continue? (y/n)

7Type y.

As the FortiGate unit starts, a series of system startup messages appears. When the following messages appears:

Press any key to display configuration menu..........

Immediately press any key to interrupt the system startup.

Note: You have only 3 seconds to press any key. If you do not press a key soon enough, the FortiGate unit reboots and you must log in and repeat the execute reboot command.

If you successfully interrupt the startup process, the following messages appears:

[G]: Get firmware image from TFTP server.

[F]: Format boot device.

[Q]: Quit menu and continue to boot with default firmware.

[H]: Display this list of options.

Enter G, F, Q, or H:

8Type G to get to the new firmware image form the TFTP server. The following message appears:
