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 command:

config system interface edit internal

set ip <address_ipv4mask>

set allowaccess {ping https ssh telnet http}

end

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

To restore the FortiGate unit configuration, see “Backup and restore” on page 115.

To restore IPS custom signatures, see “Backing up and restoring custom signature files” on page 283.

To restore web content filtering lists, see “Backup and restore” on page 115.

To restore email filtering lists, see “Backup and restore” on page 115.

To update the virus and attack definitions to the most recent version, see “Updating antivirus and attack definitions” on page 120.

If you are reverting to a previous firmware version (for example, reverting from FortiOS v2.80 to FortiOS v2.50), you might not be able to restore your previous configuration from the backup up configuration file.
