Description | This article describes how to make use of the built-in FortiGate Management Station for Firmware Upgrade/Downgrade directly via CLI Console. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
Execute the command:
# execute restore image management-station ?
It will bring up a list similar to below:
07002000FIMG0013702004 v7.02 MR2-GA-F P4 b1396 (upgrade)
The above is captured from the machine running on firmware 7.2.3 (v7.02 MR2-GA-F P3 b1262):
v7.02 -> Version 7.2. MR2-GA-F -> F for Feature Build and M for Mature Build. P4 -> Patch 4 (7.2.4). b1396 -> Build number.
For upgrading to version 7.2.4, complete the command with its corresponding value as shown below:
# execute restore image management-station 07002000FIMG0013702004
Then it will show the output:
Getting image 07002000FIMG0013702004 from Management station...
Continue with prompts to complete the Upgrade or Downgrade process accordingly.
Important Note:
- Do not forget to take back up of Configuration File before performing the Upgrade/Downgrade as unlike the GUI, this process will not give the option to take a backup.
- There should be proper connectivity to FortiGuard Server in order to accomplish this process. |
