Initiate a connection from your management computer to the CLI of the FortiMail unit,
and log in as the “admin” administrator, or an administrator account whose domain is
“system” and that has system configuration read and write privileges.
For details, see
“Connecting to the CLI” on page 29
5
Connect port1 of the FortiMail unit directly or to the same subnet as a TFTP server.
6
Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.
7
Verify that the TFTP server is currently running, and that the FortiMail unit can reach
the TFTP server.
To use the FortiMail CLI to verify connectivity, enter the following command:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
where
192.168.1.168
is the IP address of the TFTP server.
8
Enter the following command to download the firmware image from the TFTP server to
the FortiMail unit:
execute restore image <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.out 192.168.1.168
One of the following message appears:
This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
or:
Get image from tftp server OK.
Check image OK.
This operation will downgrade the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)

Type

.
The FortiMail unit downloads the firmware image file from the TFTP server. The
FortiMail unit installs the firmware and restarts. Time required varies by the size of the
file and the speed of your network connection.
If you are downgrading the firmware to a previous version, the FortiMail unit reverts the
configuration to default values for that version of the firmware. You must either
reconfigure the FortiMail unit or restore the configuration file.

To verify that the firmware was successfully installed, log in to the CLI and type:
get system status

Update the FortiGuard Antivirus definitions.
Installing backup firmware
You can install backup firmware which can be loaded if the primary firmware fails.
Note:
Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus definitions with those included with
the firmware release that you are installing. After you install the new firmware, make sure
that your FortiGuard Antivirus definitions are up-to-date. For more information, see
