Description

 

This article describes how to enable or disable the firmware notifications in the CLI.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate.

Solution

 

FortiGates with a firmware upgrade license that are connected to FortiGuard display upgrade notifications in the setup window, the banner, and the FortiGate menu.

Use the CLI console to enable or disable the notification.


To view the firmware upgrade notifications in the GUI.

Log in to FortiGate.

The FortiGate Setup window includes an Upgrade firmware step.

Select 'Begin'.

 

To disable the firmware notification in the CLI.

For version 6.4.0:

 

config system global
    set gui-firmware-upgrade-setup-warning disable
end

 

For versions 6.4.1, and 7.0:

 

config system global
    set gui-firmware-upgrade-warning disable
end

 

After that, dismiss the current notification. After dismissal, the notification will not be displayed anymore.
 
For versions 7.2 and newer, the banner has changed:

This warning will be displayed even if the Automatic Patch Upgrades are manually disabled (not desired).

The last 2 elements need to be acted upon (setup dashboard and change the default password).

However, to dismiss the banner, use this command:

 

config system global

    set gui-auto-upgrade-setup-warning disable

end
