Installing firmware images from a system reboot using the CLI
This procedure installs a specified firmware image and resets the FortiGate
module 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.
To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console
cable. This procedure reverts the FortiGate module to its factory default
configuration.
For this procedure you:
•
Access the CLI by connecting to the FortiGate console port using the console
cable.
•
Connect a FortiGate interface to your network.
•
Have a TFTP server that you can connect to from the FortiGate interface.
