Changing firmware from the portal web site

!

Caution: Back up the configuration before downgrading. Downgrading the firmware may

reset the device to that firmware’s default configuration, resulting in configuration loss. This

 

 

includes the interface IP addresses, as well as HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and Telnet

administrative access. For backup procedures, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

The Device Detail tab displays each device’s current firmware version and any scheduled firmware changes.

Authorized, configured devices periodically poll the service. If you have scheduled a firmware change, the device will discover the schedule during this poll, and apply the firmware at the appointed time.

Each device must have a valid firmware update license to download firmware. For high availability (HA) clusters, this includes all units in the cluster, not just the primary unit.

You can view your firmware version and schedule a firmware change from the Tasks section of the Device menu. You can also immediately change the firmware from the device. For more information, see “Changing firmware from the device” on page 45.

Note: Downgrading device firmware to FortiOS 3.0 MR6 or lower removes support for the service.

To schedule a firmware change

1Go to Management > Device.

2In the Tasks section, select Upgrade Firmware.

3Select the “Scheduled Time”, relative to the device’s local time zone, or select “ASAP” (as soon as possible) to change the firmware immediately when the device next polls the service.

4From “Firmware”, select which firmware version to install from the list.

5Select Submit.

The firmware change scheduled for the device appears in the Device Firmware tab.

If you have scheduled an immediate change, it will take effect as soon as possible, when the device next polls the service. Time varies by the speed of your connection and the size of the firmware image.
