Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI
This procedure installs a firmware image and resets the FortiGate 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.
To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console
port and a RJ-45 to DB-9, or null modem cable.
This procedure reverts the FortiGate unit to its factory default configuration.
For this procedure you install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the
FortiGate internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as
the internal interface.
Before beginning this procedure, it is recommended that you back up the
FortiGate unit configuration.
