Managing firmware versions

Upgrading your FortiAnalyzer unit

To upgrade to FortiAnalyzer 3.0 using the web-based manager

1Copy the firmware image file to your management computer.

2Log into the web-based manager as the administrative user.

3Go to System > Dashboard.

4In the System Information area, select Update.

5Enter the path and filename of the firmware image file, or select Browse and locate the file.

6Select OK.

7Update AV/NIDS definitions so that they are current with the new firmware.

The FortiAnalyzer unit uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, restarts, and displays the FortiAnalyzer login. This process may take a few minutes.

When the upgrade is successfully installed:

Ping to your FortiAnalyzer unit to verify there is still a connection.

Clear the browser’s cache and log into the web-based manager.

After logging back into the web-based manager, you should save the configuration settings that carried forward. Some settings may have carried forward from FortiLog 1.6, while others may not have such as the Destination in Alerts Event configuration. Go to System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore to save the configuration settings that carried forward.

Upgrading using the CLI

The following procedure uses the CLI to upgrade to FortiAnalyzer 3.0 and a TFTP server. The CLI upgrade procedure reverts all current firewall configurations to factory default settings.

To upgrade to FortiAnalyzer 3.0 using the CLI

1Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

2Start the TFTP server.

3Log into the CLI.

4Enter the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP server: execute ping <server_ipaddress>

Pinging the computer running the TFTP server verifies that the FortiAnalyzer unit and TFTP server are successfully connected.

5Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the FortiAnalyzer unit:

execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ip4>

When <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is image.out and the IP address of the TFTP server er is 192.168.1.168, enter:

execute restore image.out 192.168.1.168

The FortiAnalyzer unit responds with a message similar to the following:
