Question

Fortigate 60D doesn't boot anymore.

Hi,

I have a Fortigate 60D. The device is on the factory defaults (no configuration) and is connected to a Notebook with FortiExplorer and tftp32. I can boot into the bios menu. I can format, and I can upload a new firmware over tftp. Everything works without any problems or error messages. But if the device should reboot after the new firmware was uploaded, it doesn't do anything. I tried the new 5.4.4 and a couple of older firmwares. All images have a correct md5 checksum. I don't understand the problem!? Can someone Help? Thanks, Christian.

    hi,

    please make a serial connection to the Console port and read why the boot process fails. It's really simple. 9600 baud, 8N1. The FExplorer thing won't help at that stage.

    Hi,

     

    my problem is that I don't have such a cable. Fortinet only put the USB cable into the box. The next problem is, that I don't have any computers with an serial port (DB9).

     

    Is there a certified RJ45 to USB cable which I can order, or is there an DB9 to USB converter which is certified?

     

    Thanks, Christian.

    A network guy can't work without a Prolific2303 or so on.
