To upgrade the firmware using the CLI

To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP server the FortiGate-5001FA2 board can connect to.

1Make sure the TFTP server is running.

2Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

3Log into the CLI.

You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP server. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168:

5Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the FortiGate-5001FA2 board:

execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>

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
