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 image.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiGate-5001A board responds with the message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)

Type y.
The FortiGate-5001A board uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new
firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

This section describes how to configure FortiGate-5001A boards for base
backplane data communication. Base backplane data communication is
supported for FortiGate-5001A boards installed in FortiGate-5140,
FortiGate-5050, and FortiGate-5020 chassis.
Note: Different FortiGate-5000 series boards may use different names for the base
backplane interfaces. For example, on the FortiGate-5001SX and FortiGate-5001FA2
boards the base backplane interfaces are called port9 and port10. On the
FortiGate-5005FA2 and FortiGate-5001A boards, the base backplane interfaces are called
base1 and base2.
By default the base backplane interfaces are not enabled for data communication.
Once the base backplane interfaces are configured for data communication you
can operate and configure them in the same way as any FortiGate-5001A
interfaces.
Note: The FortiSwitch-5003 board does not support VLAN-tagged packets.
Note: The FortiSwitch-5003A board and the FortiGate-5020 backplane do support
VLAN-tagged packets.
Although not recommended, you can use base backplane interfaces for data
communication and HA heartbeat communication at the same time.
