7Type y.

The FortiGate unit reverts to the old firmware version, resets the configuration to factory defaults, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

8Reconnect to the CLI.

9To restore your previous configuration, if needed, use the command:

execute restore config <name_str> <tftp_ip4>

10Update antivirus and attack definitions using the command: execute update-now.

Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI

This procedure installs a firmware image and resets the FortiGate unit to default settings. You can use this procedure to upgrade to a new firmware version, revert to an older firmware version, or re-install the current firmware.

To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console port and a RJ-45 to DB-9, or null modem cable.

This procedure reverts the FortiGate unit to its factory default configuration.

For this procedure you install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiGate internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as the internal interface.

Before beginning this procedure, it is recommended that you back up the FortiGate unit configuration.

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.
