• Install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiGate 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
FortiController-5208 module configuration
If you are reverting to a previous firmware version, you might not be able to
restore the previous configuration from the backup configuration file.
To install firmware from a system reboot
Connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable port and
FortiController-5208 console port.
Make sure the TFTP server is running.
Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.
Make sure one of the FortiController-5208 module interfaces is connected to the
same network as the TFTP server.
To confirm the FortiController-5208 module 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:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
Enter the following command to restart the FortiController-5208 module.
execute reboot
The FortiController-5208 module responds with the following message:
This operation will reboot the system!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
