To change the firmware using the CLI
Use the following procedure to upgrade the FortiLog unit to a newer firmware version or revert to a previous firmware version.
To use the following procedure you must have a TFTP server that the FortiLog unit can connect to.
This procedure reverts your FortiLog unit to its factory default configuration and deletes all configuration on the unit.
Back up the FortiLog unit configuration before beginning this procedure using the command execute backup config.
1Make sure that the TFTP server is running.
2Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.
3Log into the CLI as the admin administrative user.
4Make sure the FortiLog unit can connect to the TFTP server.
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:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
5Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the FortiLog unit:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ip>
Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file on the TFTP server and <tftp_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is
execute restore image FortiLog_400-v120.out 192.168.1.168
•If you upgrade the firmware, the FortiLog unit uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, resets the configuration, restarts, and displays the FortiLog login. This process takes a few minutes.
