FortiOS firmware version or to a more recent build of the same 

firmware version.

Use the web-based manager or CLI procedure to revert to a 

previous firmware version. This procedure reverts the FortiGate 

unit to its factory default configuration.

Use this procedure to install a new firmware version or revert to a 

previous firmware version. To use this procedure you must connect 

to the CLI using the FortiGate console port and a null-modem 

cable. This procedure reverts the FortiGate unit to its factory 

default configuration.

Use this procedure to test a new firmware image before installing it. 

To use this procedure you must connect to the CLI using the 

FortiGate console port and a null-modem cable. This procedure 

temporarily installs a new firmware image using your current 

configuration. You can test the firmware image before installing it 

permanently. If the firmware image works correctly you can use 

one of the other procedures listed in this table to install it 

permanently.

If the FortiGate unit is running BIOS version v3.x, you can install a 

backup firmware image. Once the backup firmware image is 

installed you can switch to this backup image when required. 

Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions with the definitions 
included with the firmware release that you are installing. After you install new firmware, use the 
procedure 

 to make sure that antivirus 

and attack definitions are up to date.

Note: To use this procedure you must login using the admin administrator account, or an 
administrator account that has system configuration read and write privileges.
