FortiGate Firmware

Testing new firmware before installing

Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files, image.out and system.conf, must be in the root directory of the USB key.

Note: Make sure at least FortiOS v3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before installing.

To configure the USB Auto-Install using the CLI

1Log into the CLI.

2Enter the following command:

config system auto-install

set default-config-file <filename>

set auto-intall-config {enable disable} set default-image-file <filename>

set auto-install-image {enable disable}

end

3Enter the following command to see the new firmware installation settings: get system status

Additional CLI Commands for a USB key

Use the following CLI commands when you want to delete a file from the FortiUSB key, list what files are on the key, including formatting the key or renaming a file:

exec usb-disk list

exec usb-disk delete <filename>

exec usb-disk format

exec usb-disk rename <old_filename1> <old_filename2>

Note: If you are trying to delete a configuration file from the CLI command interface, and the filename contains spaces, you will need quotations around the filename before you can delete the file from the FortiUSB key.

Testing new firmware before installing

You can test a new firmware image by installing the firmware image from a system reboot and saving it to system memory. After completing this procedure, the FortiGate unit operates using the new firmware image with the current configuration. This new firmware image is not permanently installed. The next time the FortiGate unit restarts, it operates with the originally installed firmware image using the current configuration. If the new firmware image operates successfully, you can install it permanently using the procedure “Upgrading the firmware” on page 45.

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 temporarily installs a new firmware image using your current 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.
