FortiGate-5001A base backplane data communication

Quick Configuration Guide

Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ipv4> 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 is 192.168.1.168, enter:

execute restore image image.out 192.168.1.168

The FortiGate-5001A board responds with the message:

This operation will replace the current firmware version!

Do you want to continue? (y/n)

6Type y.

The FortiGate-5001A board uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

7Reconnect to the CLI.

8To confirm the firmware image is successfully installed, enter:

get system status

9Update antivirus and attack definitions. You can use the command execute update-now

FortiGate-5001A base backplane data communication

This section describes how to configure FortiGate-5001A boards for base backplane data communication. Base backplane data communication is supported for FortiGate-5001A boards installed in FortiGate-5140, FortiGate-5050, and FortiGate-5020 chassis.

Note: Different FortiGate-5000 series boards may use different names for the base backplane interfaces. For example, on the FortiGate-5001SX and FortiGate-5001FA2 boards the base backplane interfaces are called port9 and port10. On the FortiGate-5005FA2 and FortiGate-5001A boards, the base backplane interfaces are called base1 and base2.

By default the base backplane interfaces are not enabled for data communication. Once the base backplane interfaces are configured for data communication you can operate and configure them in the same way as any FortiGate-5001A interfaces.

Note: The FortiSwitch-5003 board does not support VLAN-tagged packets.

Note: The FortiSwitch-5003A board and the FortiGate-5020 backplane do support

VLAN-tagged packets.

Although not recommended, you can use base backplane interfaces for data communication and HA heartbeat communication at the same time.
