    hi,

     

    no, via console you would need an ethernet connection and a TFTP server on your PC/notebook. This one works like a charm (in Windows): [link]http://tftpd32.jounin.net/[/link]

     

    A second way to load firmware is via the USB stick. But not in your case - the command to load firmware is part of FortiOS, and not the BIOS.

    There is something not clear to me

    i work from this webpage

    http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/viewContent.do?externalId=10338

     

    when i get to 5

    5 - Connect the computer running TFTP server to the FortiGate unit. The port is prompted in the console output as below:  Please connect TFTP server to Ethernet port "MGMT"   what port is this ?   then i have this [size="2"]6 - Type the IP address of the computer running the TFTP server and press Enter.The console displays:[/size][size="2"][size="2"][size="2"]Enter TFTP server address [192.168.1.168]:[/size] [/size][/size]   [size="2"]7 - Type the IP address of the Fortigate port that is on the same subnet as the TFTP server and press Enter.[/size]The console displays: [size="2"][size="2"]Enter Local Address [192.168.1.188]:[/size][/size]   [size="2"]but it jump line and i cant put the ip of the server[/size] [size="2"]also [/size]   [size="2"]Do I need to change the ip of the network card to the one listed in the manual ? [/size]   [size="2"]Or instead I can register the original ip of the computer And the ip of the router register accordingly For example My computer's ip is 192.168.0.2 So can I write In Section 6 the IP 192.168.0.2 And in section 7 write 192.168.0.188 ? [/size]

    Yes you can use your computers IP of 192.168.0.2 and configure the FGT with 192.168.0.188.

     

    Try to plug your computer in port1 when uploading the firmware.
