Reverting to a previous firmware version using the CLI
This procedure reverts your FortiGate unit to its factory default configuration and
deletes NIDS user-defined signatures, web content lists, email filtering lists, and
changes to replacement messages.
Before running this procedure you can:
• Backup the FortiGate unit configuration using the command
execute backup
config
.
• Backup the NIDS user defined signatures using the command
execute backup
nidsuserdefsig
• Backup web content and email filtering lists, see the
FortiGate Content Protection
Guide
.
If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version (for example, reverting from FortiOS
v2.50 to FortiOS v2.36) you may not be able to restore your previous configuration
from the backup configuration file.
Note:
Installing firmware replaces your current antivirus and attack definitions with the
definitions included with the firmware release that you are installing. When you have installed
new firmware, use the procedure
“Manually updating antivirus and attack definitions” on
page 75
to make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up-to-date.
