The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration file
and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an
additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting
down or rebooting your FortiGate module.
The following procedures use both the web-based manager and the CLI.
However, it is recommended you use the CLI since the login screen may appear
before the installation is complete. The FortiGate module may reboot twice if
installing the firmware image and configuration file.
Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files,
image.out and fgt_system.conf, must be in the root directory.
To configure the USB Auto-Install using the web-based manager
1 Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
2 Select the blue arrow to expand the Advanced options.
