Fortinet periodically updates the FortiController-5208 firmware to include
enhancements and address issues. After you have registered your
FortiController-5208, firmware is available for download at the support web site,
http://support.fortinet.com.
Only the FortiController-5208 admin user can change the firmware.
All FortiController-5208 modules are configured as a secondary when shipped.
When configured as a secondary, HTTPS, HTTP, Telnet, and SSH connections to
the management interface are denied. CLI commands can only be issued when
connected to the console interface.
This section includes the following topics:
• Upgrading the FortiController-5208 to a new firmware version
• Reverting the FortiController-5208 to a previous firmware version
• Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI
• Testing a new firmware image before installing it
Use the web-based manager or CLI procedure to upgrade to a new firmware
version or to a more recent build of the same firmware version.
Use the following procedures to upgrade the primary FortiController-5208 module
to a new firmware version. A secondary FortiController-5208 module can only be
upgraded using the CLI procedure.
Note: To use this procedure, you must log in using the admin administrator account, or an
administrator account that has system configuration read and write privileges.
To upgrade the firmware using the web-based manager
Copy the firmware image file to your management computer.
Log into the web-based manager as the admin administrative user.
Go to System > Status.
Under I/O Blade Status > Firmware Version, select Update.
Type the path and filename of the firmware image file, or select Browse and locate
the file.
Select OK.
The FortiController-5208 module uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the
new firmware version, restarts, and displays the FortiController-5208 login. This
process takes a few minutes.
Log into the web-based manager.
Go to System > Status and check the Firmware Version to confirm the firmware
upgrade is successfully installed.
