5 Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to
the FortiGate module:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
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 192168.1.68, enter:
execute restore image image.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiGate module responds with this message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
6 Type y.
The FortiGate module uploads the firmware image file. After the file uploads, a
message similar to the following is displayed:
Get image from tftp server OK.
Check image OK.
This operation will downgrade the current firmware
version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
7 Type y.
The FortiGate module reverts to the old firmware version, resets the configuration
to factory defaults, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

get system status
10 To restore your previous configuration, if needed, use the command:
execute restore config <name_str> <tftp_ip4>

execute update-now
This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiGate
module to default settings. You can use this procedure to upgrade to a new
firmware version, revert to an older firmware version, or re-install the current
firmware version.
To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console
cable. This procedure reverts the FortiGate module to its factory default
configuration.
For this procedure you:
• Access the CLI by connecting to the FortiGate console port using the console
cable.
• Connect a FortiGate interface to your network.
• Have a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiGate interface.
