For this procedure, you connect to the CLI using the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial
cable/console port. This procedure temporarily installs a new firmware image
using your current configuration.
For this procedure you 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.
To test a new firmware image
Connect to the CLI using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable/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 the internal interface is connected to the same network as the TFTP
server.
Use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP server. For
example, if the TFTP server's IP address is 192.168.1.168:
