FG200B - Configurastion not saved?

[Yngve0]

I did a reboot on my FG-200B from GUI. First reboot failed, so I had to go on site and did make a power out - power in. After that I got a config-rollback where all changed done on the unit the last 3 month where not saved. Any hint? Is not configuration from UI save automatically on all Fortigate-products? Y

There are 2 possible reasons for this (IMO): 1. config restored from a USB stick, without manually saving the changed config to the stick before reboot. You have to enable USB stick config restore in System > Maintenance. 2. the config save mode is not set to ' automatic' . See ' config sys global' for the setting of ' cfg-save' : ' set cfg-save automatic' : changes are saved to flash after entering a ' next' or ' end' command ' set cfg-save manual' : changes saved to flash only by ' exec cfg save' ' set cfg-save revert' : you need to manually save the config after changes (via ' exec cfg save' ). If there is no activity for ' cfg-revert-timeout' seconds the last saved config is automatically restored (& reboot). This has been available since v4.00. And of course, if you make changes and power cycle the FGT before committing them (' next' /' end' ).

Thanks for answer. I had some similar issue today. I had again this morning to do a reboot of my Fortigate FG200C. Before the reboot; i a full backup of the config, checked the cfg-save setting and did a " exec cfg save" to be 100% sure. After reboot from CLI (Exec reboot), it failed to come up. OnSite I detected that only one of the connected port had link. I did and PowerOutBoot, and this time the unit came up but with an old config. I then had to restore the configuration from the backup made before reboot. The unit rebooted perfect with correct configuration.
