Fortinet ORTIWIFI-60A /AM manual To install firmware from a system reboot

Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI FortiWiFi Firmware

Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI

This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiWiFi unit to default settings. You can use this procedure to upgrade to a new firmware version, revert to an older firmware version, or re-install the current firmware version.

Use this procedure to install a new firmware version or revert to a previous firmware version. To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiWiFi console port and a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable. This procedure reverts the FortiWiFi unit to its factory default configuration.

Note: This procedure varies for different FortiWiFi BIOS versions. These variations are explained in the procedure steps that are affected. The version of the BIOS running on the FortiWiFi unit is displayed when you restart the FortiWiFi unit using the CLI through a console connection.

For this procedure you:

•Access the CLI by connecting to the FortiWiFi console port using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.

•Install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiWiFi internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as the internal interface.

Before beginning this procedure, it is recommended that you:

•back up the FortiWiFi unit configuration

•back up the IPS custom signatures

•back up web content and email filtering lists

For more information, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version (for example, reverting from FortiOS v3.0 to FortiOS v2.80), you might not be able to restore your previous configuration from the backup configuration file.

Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions, along with the definitions included with the firmware release you are installing. After you install new firmware, make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date. For information, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.

To install firmware from a system reboot

1Connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable/console port.

2Make sure the TFTP server is running.

3Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

4Make sure the internal interface is connected to the same network as the TFTP server.

5To confirm the FortiWiFi 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, enter:

execute ping 192.168.1.168
