The FortiGate unit uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware
version, restarts, and displays the FortiGate login. This process may take a few
minutes.
Once the upgrade is successfully installed:
• Ping to your FortiGate unit to verify there is still a connection.
• Clear the browser’s cache and log into the web-based manager.
After logging back into the web-based manager, you should save your
configuration settings that carried forward. Some settings may have carried
forward from FortiOS 2.80MR11, while others may not have such as certain IPS
group settings. Go to System > Maintenance > Backup and Restore to save the
configuration settings that carried forward.
