Fortigate BMR-RX Boot Loader

Hello everyone, 

 

I was given an old FortiGate that was being used at a lab environment and noticed the device was not booting up.

Upon trying to check the status on the CLI, noticed the device is booting on BMR-RX Boot Loader as shown in the bellow image. Now I am kind of stuck to get out of this boot menu and wondering if someone has any idea on how to do it. Some way to set up a TFTP from here or any other option.

 I was able to login and the menu does not have any useful commands, tried running the "maintenance factoryreset" but always end up on the same place.

Appreciate any help!

 

Regards

Can you tell us what exact model is this?
From the screenshot I can't tell if it's literally a FGT-30 (no letters at the end), or if you obfuscated that part with the white rectangle seen in the picture.

Hello @pminarik!

 

It is a FGT-300E, I covered the model with the rectangle.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think you'll be able to handle this without TAC support. This is not the usual BIOS boot menu where you would be able to TFTP upload a FortiOS firmware image, so presumably something goes wrong before that usual boot menu is reached.

The big items were things like setting password policies, disabling management on web-facing interfaces, disabling the auto-install, setting banners, specifying encryption standards, local-in policies to restrict access to our FortiManager, stuff like that.
