Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI
80
If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version (for example, reverting from
FortiOS v3.0 to FortiOS v2.80), you might not be able to restore your previous
configuration from the backup configuration file.
Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions, along with
the definitions included with the firmware release you are installing. After you install new
firmware, make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date. For information,
see the FortiGate Administration
To install firmware from a system reboot
1 Connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 cable.
2 Make sure the TFTP server is running.
3 Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.
4 Make sure the internal interface is connected to the same network as the TFTP
server.
5 To confirm the FortiGate unit 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, enter:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
6 Enter the following command to restart the FortiGate unit:
execute reboot
The FortiGate unit responds with the following message:

Do you want to continue? (y/n)
7 Type y.
