Restoring your configuration

Your configuration settings may not carry forward after downgrading to FortiLog

1.6.You can restore your configuration settings for FortiLog 1.6 with the configuration file(s) you saved before upgrading to FortiAnalyzer 3.0.

During a firmware restoration, the TFTP server IP address must be on the same network as the FortiAnalyzer unit’s IP address: the FortiAnalyzer unit uses a 255.255.255.0 net mask when connecting to a TFTP server for firmware. For this reason, instead of temporarily reconfiguring the rest of the network, it may be more convenient to install a TFTP server on your management computer and create a temporary peer network with the FortiAnalyzer unit, connecting it directly to the TFTP server on your management computer.

You can also use the following procedures for restoring your configuration after installing a patch release.

Restoring configuration settings on a FortiAnalyzer unit

You can restore configuration settings whether the FortiAnalyzer unit was downgraded, reset to factory defaults, or may be corrupted. Use the recovery procedure appropriate for your FortiAnalyzer unit model to restore the firmware from a TFTP server.

For more information about connecting to the CLI, see the FortiAnalyzer CLI Reference.

Restoring the firmware also restores the default configuration for that firmware version. The following restores a FortiAnalyzer-100A/100B, FortiAnalyzer- 800/800B, FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A, and FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A

Note: When connecting the Ethernet cable to the FortiAnalyzer-800, insert the cable into the LAN2 port.

To restore a firmware image to the FortiAnalyzer unit

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. If you enabled firewalls, such as Windows Firewall, you will need to modify them because they interfere when connecting to the TFTP server.

5If the CLI is not responsive, power cycle the FortiAnalyzer unit to reboot.

If the CLI is responsive, enter the following command to restart the FortiAnalyzer unit:

execute reboot

As the FortiAnalyzer unit starts, a series of system startup messages are displayed.
