Restoring the previous configuration

using the following command:
config system interface
edit <interface>
set ip <address_ip4mask>
set allowaccess {ping|https|ssh|telnet|http}
end
After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the
web-based manager and restore the configuration.

Using a USB key
A USB key provides flexibility and control when backing up and restoring
configuration files. The USB key also enables you to have a single, secure
location for storing configuration files.
Use the USB key with the USB Auto-Install feature, automatically installing a
configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The USB
Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that is on
the USB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to be installed. If
so, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware image file directly
from the key to the unit.
Backup and Restore from a USB key
Use a USB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file.
You should always make sure the USB key is properly install before proceeding
since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.
