Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to
the FortiGate unit:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file and <tftp_ip> is
the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is
v2.80image.out and the IP address of the TFTP server is 192168.1.68, enter:
execute restore v2.80image.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiGate unit responds with this message:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
Type y.
The FortiGate unit 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)
Type y.
The FortiGate unit reverts to the old firmware version, resets the configuration to
factory defaults, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
Reconnect to the CLI.
To confirm the new firmware image has been loaded, enter:
get system status
To restore your previous configuration, if needed, use the command:
execute restore config <name_str> <tftp_ip4>
Update antivirus and attack definitions.
For information, see the FortiGate Administration
execute update-now.
This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiGate unit 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
port and a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable.
Note: This procedure varies for different FortiGate BIOS versions. These variations are
explained in the procedure steps that are affected. The version of the BIOS running on the
FortiGate unit is displayed when you restart the FortiGate unit using the CLI through a
console connection.
