Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to the
FortiSwitch-5003B board:
execute restore image tftp <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
Where
<name_str>
is the name of the firmware image file and
<tftp_ipv4>
is the IP
address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is
image.out
and the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter:
execute restore image tftp image.out 192.168.1.168
The FortiSwitch-5003B board responds with message similar to the following:
This operation will replace the current firmware version and
reboot the system
Do you want to continue? (y/n)

.
The FortiSwitch-5003B board uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new
firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.

Additional configuration
The following additional configuration settings are available:
•
Disabling the front panel F8 interface and enabling the fabric backplane interconnect
(slot-1/2)
•
Disabling the front panel F8 interface and enabling the slot-14 fabric interface
•
Changing the system time and host name
•
Changing the switch fabric-channel configuration
Disabling the front panel F8 interface and enabling the fabric backplane
interconnect (slot-1/2)
Because of the number of available ports in the FortiSwitch-5003B switch hardware, front
panel interface F8 and fabric backplane interconnection between channel 1 and channel
2 (slot-1/2), share the same FortiSwitch-5003B port. By default, the active connection is
set to front panel interface F8. You can change this setting using the following CLI
command:
config switch fabric-channel physical-port
edit f8/slot-1/2
set active-connection slot-1/2
end
The FortiSwitch-5003B board responds with a confirmation message. Accept the change
and the FortiSwitch-5003B board reboots.
Disabling the front panel F8 interface and enabling the slot-14 fabric interface
On older FortiSwitch-5003B boards with part numbers lower than P11000-01, the front
panel interface F8 and the slot-14 fabric backplane interface share the same switch port.
By default, the active connection was set to front panel interface F8. You can change this
setting using the following CLI command:
config switch fabric-channel physical-port
