[kdharan]

Description	This article describes the troubleshooting steps for a FortiGate device that automatically reboots due to a federated upgrade, despite the auto-firmware upgrade feature being disabled.
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	To troubleshoot this issue, follow these steps: Check the system event logs to identify the cause of the reboot. Go to Log & Report -> System Events -> General System Events. Verify that the auto-firmware upgrade feature is disabled. Go to System -> Firmware -> Auto-Firmware Upgrade and ensure that the feature is disabled. Check the federated upgrade settings. Go to System -> Federated Upgrade and verify that the upgrade is not scheduled. To confirm if an upgrade was invoked by a Federated Upgrade, refer to Technical Tip: How to confirm an upgrade was done by federated-upgrade feature. In the CLI:  config system federated-upgrade     set status disabled     set upgrade-id 0     set next-path-index 0 end If the federated upgrade is scheduled, cancel the upgrade. Run the following command in the CLI: execute federated-upgrade cancel Note: Even after disabling the auto-firmware upgrade feature, the firewall can get auto-upgraded with a federated upgrade due to an existing scheduled federated upgrade. To avoid this schedule upgrade, cancel it manually.
