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 worker image.out 192.168.1.168
The I/O module responds with the message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
Type y.
The I/O module uploads the firmware image file and upgrades the worker
modules automatically. This process takes a few minutes.
To confirm the firmware image is successfully installed, enter:
execute worker manage
get system status
After confirming the workers are running the updated firmware, return to the I/O
module CLI by entering:
execute primary-io
Under normal circumstances you will never have to upgrade the
FortiController-5208 NPU firmware. However, in exceptional circumstances when
recommended by Fortinet Customer Support, you can use the following
information to upgrade the firmware operating on FortiController-5208 module.
You must perform this procedure separately for each FortiController-5208 module
installed in your FortiGate-5005-DIST system.
Caution: The following procedure is for advanced users only. You should contact Fortinet
Customer Support before upgrading FortiController-5208 NPU firmware. A failed burn can
render the FortiController-5208 unusable and may require returning the module to Fortinet
for repair.
Note: The NPU firmware is entirely separate from the FortiController-5208 firmware and is
not effected by burning I/O module or worker module firmware, or by formatting the
FortiController-5208 boot device, or anything else done from FortiOS or the BIOS.
To upgrade FortiController-5208 NPU firmware
Before you start the FortiController-5208 must be operating as a primary
FortiController-5208. You must also have a TFTP server that the
FortiController-5208 module can connect to from the FortiController-5208
Management interface.
Copy the NPU firmware image to the TFTP server
Connect to the FortiController-5208 CLI
Enter the following command:
diag npu flash <npu_image_name> <tftp_server_IP> port1
The FortiController-5208 requests a password.
