Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI
This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiWiFi 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.
For this procedure you:
• access the CLI by connecting to the FortiWiFi console port using a null-modem
cable,
• install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiWiFi internal interface.
The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as the internal interface.
Before beginning this procedure you can:
• Back up the FortiWiFi unit configuration.
For information, see “Backing up and Restoring” on page 122 .
• Back up the IPS custom signatures.
For information, see “Backing up and restoring custom signature files” on
page 303 .
• Back up web content and email filtering lists.
For information, see “Web filter” on page 327 and “Spam filter” on page 341 .
If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version (for example, reverting from FortiOS
v2.80 to FortiOS v2.50), you might not be able to restore your previous configuration
from the backup configuration file.
To install firmware from a system reboot
1 Connect to the CLI using the null-modem cable and FortiWiFi console port.
2 Make sure that the TFTP server is running.
3 Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.
Note: This procedure varies for different FortiWiFi BIOS versions. These variations are
explained in the procedure steps that are affected. The version of the BIOS running on the
FortiWiFi unit is displayed when you restart the FortiWiFi unit using the CLI through a console
connection.
Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions with the definitions
included with the firmware release that you are installing. After you install new firmware, use the
procedure
“To update antivirus and attack definitions” on page 127 to make sure that antivirus
and attack definitions are up to date.
