Upgrading to a new firmware version
You cannot use this procedure to
The following procedure requires a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiBridge unit.
To upgrade to a new firmware version
1Make sure that the TFTP server is running.
2Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of your TFTP server.
3Log into the CLI as an administrator with sysshutdowngrp access.
Normally this would be the admin administrator. But you can use access profiles to control administrative access. See “system accprofile” on page 57 for more information.
4Make sure the FortiBridge unit can connect to the TFTP server.
You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP server. For example, if the TFTP server IP address 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 FortiBridge 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 FBG_1000-v10-build010-FORTINET.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiBridge unit uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
6Reconnect to the CLI.
7To confirm that the new firmware image has been loaded, enter: get system status
