Upgrading to a new firmware version
You cannot use this procedure to re-install the current firmware or to revert to an
older version of the firmware. If you need to re-install the current firmware or
revert to an older firmware version, see “Reverting to a previous firmware version”
on page 32.
The following procedure requires a TFTP server that you can connect to from the
FortiBridge unit.
To upgrade to a new firmware version
1 Make sure that the TFTP server is running.
2 Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of your TFTP server.
3 Log into the CLI as an administrator with sysshutdowngrp access.
Normally this would be the admin administrator. But you can use access profiles
to control administrative access. See “system accprofile” on page 57 for more
information.
4 Make sure the FortiBridge unit can connect to the TFTP server.
You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP
server. For example, if the TFTP server IP address is 192.168.1.168:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
5 Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to
the FortiBridge unit:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ip>
Where <name_str> is the name of the firmware image file on the TFTP server
and <tftp_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server. For example, if the
firmware image file name is FBG_1000-v10-build010-FORTINET.out and
the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.23, enter:
execute restore image FBG_1000-v10-build010-FORTINET.out
192.168.1.168
The FortiBridge unit uploads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new
firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
6 Reconnect to the CLI.
7 To confirm that the new firmware image has been loaded, enter:
get system status
