To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console
port and a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable. This procedure temporarily installs a new
firmware image using your current configuration.
For this procedure you:
• Access the CLI by connecting to the FortiGate console port using a RJ-45 to
DB-9 serial cable.
• 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 the new firmware image
Connect to the CLI using a RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable and FortiGate 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 integer as the TFTP
server.
You can 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:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
Enter the following command to restart the FortiGate unit:
execute reboot
As the FortiGate unit reboots, press any key to interrupt the system startup. As the
FortiGate unit starts, a series of system startup messages are displayed.
When one of the following messages appears:
• FortiGate unit running v2.x BIOS
Press Any Key To Download Boot Image.
...
• FortiGate unit running v3.x BIOS
Press any key to display configuration menu....
Immediately press any key to interrupt the system startup.
Note: You have only 3 seconds to press any key. If you do not press a key soon enough,
the FortiGate unit reboots and you must log in and repeat the execute reboot
command.
If you successfully interrupt the startup process, one of the following messages
appears:
• FortiGate unit running v2.x BIOS
Enter TFTP Server Address: [192.168.1.168]:
Go to step 9.
