Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI
This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiGate unit to
its factory 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. This procedure reverts the FortiGate unit to
its factory default configuration.
For this procedure you 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.
Before beginning this procedure, it is recommended that you:
• back up the FortiGate unit configuration
• back up the IPS custom signatures
• back up web content and email filtering lists
For more information, see the FortiGate Administration Guide.
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.
