Question

New Feature “execute restore scripts” doesn’t work in Forti OS 5.6.2

Hi,

I noticed that in FortiOS 5.6.1 a new execute command has been introduced to merge arbitrary configlets into the running configuration from script.

 

CLI Syntax - Load script from FTP/TFTP/SCP server to firewall

execute restore scripts <ftp | tftp | scp> <dir / filename in server> <server ip> <username> <password>

 

Ref : http://help.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/56/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-system-administration/Advanced/CLI%20Scripts.htm

 

But when I try this CLI Syntax on 5.6.2 it doesn’t recognize the new execute command. Also I couldn’t find this CLI Syntax in Forti OS 5.6.3 CLI Reference too. Is this revoked?

Below is the update from Fortinet Support

 

"restore the script through CLI" feature has been postponed in upcoming firmware releases due to some limitation on the current image.
