Upgrading the firmware using the CLI
To use the following procedure you must have a TFTP server that the FortiGate unit
can connect to.
To upgrade the firmware using the CLI
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.
4
Make sure the FortiGate 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 IP address of the TFTP server 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
FortiGate unit:
execute restore image <name_str> <tftp_ipv4>
Where
<name_str>
is the name of the firmware image file and
<tftp_ip>
is the IP
address of the TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is
FGT_300-v280-build183-FORTINET.out
and the IP address of the TFTP server
is 192.168.1.168, enter:
execute restore image FGT_300-v280-build183-FORTINET.out
192.168.1.168

Installing firmware replaces your current antivirus and attack definitions with the
definitions included with the firmware release that you are installing. After you install new
firmware, use the procedure
“To update antivirus and attack definitions” on page 123
to make
sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date. You can also use the CLI command
execute update_now
to update the antivirus and attack definitions.
Note:
To use this procedure you must login using the admin administrator account, or an
administrator account that has system configuration read and write privileges.
