Installing Fpm Firmware From The Bios After A Reboot - Fortinet FortiGate-7000F Series System Manual

Firmware upgrades
You can do this using the execute reboot command from the CLI or by pressing the power switch on the FIM
front panel.
9. When the FIM starts up, follow the boot process in the terminal session, and press any key when prompted to
interrupt the boot process.
10. To set up the TFTP configuration, press C.
11. Use the BIOS menu to set the following. Change settings only if required.
[P]: Set image download port: MGMT1 (the connected MGMT interface.)
[D]: Set DHCP mode: Disabled
[I]: Set local IP address: The IP address of the MGMT interface that you want to use to connect to the
TFTP server. This address must not be the same as the FortiGate-7081F management IP address and cannot
conflict with other addresses on your network.
[S]: Set local Subnet Mask: Set as required for your network.
[G]: Set local gateway: Set as required for your network.
[V]: Local VLAN ID: Should be set to <none>. (use -1 to set the Local VLAN ID to <none>.)
[T]: Set remote TFTP server IP address: The IP address of the TFTP server.
[F]: Set firmware image file name: The name of the firmware image file that you want to install.
12. To quit this menu, press Q.
13. To review the configuration, press R.
To make corrections, press C and make the changes as required. When the configuration is correct, proceed to the
next step.
14. To start the TFTP transfer, press T.
The firmware image is uploaded from the TFTP server and installed on the FIM. The FIM then restarts with its
configuration reset to factory defaults. After restarting, the FIM configuration is synchronized to match the
configuration of the primary FIM. The FIM restarts again and can start processing traffic.
15. Once the FIM restarts, verify that the correct firmware is installed.
You can do this from the FIM GUI dashboard or from the FIM CLI using the get system status command.
16. Use the diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy command to verify that the configuration has been
synchronized. The field in_sync=1 indicates that the configurations of the FIM or FPM is synchronized.
FIMs and FPMs that are missing or that show in_sync=0 are not synchronized. To synchronize an FIM or FPM
that is not synchronized, log into the CLI of the FIM or FPM and restart it using the execute reboot command. If
this does not solve the problem, contact Fortinet Support at https://support.fortinet.com.
If you enter the diagnose sys confsync status | grep in_sy command before the FIM has restarted, it
will not appear in the command output. As well, the Configuration Sync Monitor will temporarily show that it is not
synchronized.
Installing FPM firmware from the BIOS after a reboot
Use the following procedure to upload firmware from a TFTP server to an FPM. To perform the upgrade, you must first
upload the firmware file to the TFTP server on one of the FIMs.
This procedure also involves connecting to the FPM CLI using a FortiGate-7081F front panel SMM console port,
rebooting the FPM, interrupting the boot from the console session, and following FPM BIOS prompts to install the
firmware from the FIM TFTP server.
