Installing FortiBridge unit firmware Setting up FortiBridge units
Reverting to a previous firmware version
This procedure reverts the FortiBridge unit to a previous firmware version and
rests the unit to its factory default configuration.
Before using this procedure you can backup the FortiBridge unit configuration
using the command execute backup config.
To use the following procedure you must have a TFTP server that you can
connect to from the FortiBridge unit.
To revert to a previous firmware version
1 Make sure that the TFTP server is running.
2 Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the 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's 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. Once the file has been
uploaded a message similar to the following is displayed:
Get image from tftp server OK.
This operation will downgrade the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
6 Type Y.
The FortiBridge unit reverts to the old firmware version, resets the configuration to
factory defaults, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
7 Reconnect to the CLI.
8 To confirm that the older version of the firmware image has been loaded, enter:
get system status
