Installing firmware from a system reboot using the CLI FortiGate Firmware
12 Type D.
The FortiGate unit installs the new firmware image and restarts. The installation
might take a few minutes to complete.
Restoring the previous configuration
Change the internal interface address, if required. You can do this from the CLI
using the following command:
config system interface
edit <interface>
set ip <address_ip4mask>
set allowaccess {ping|https|ssh|telnet|http}
end
After changing the interface address, you can access the FortiGate unit from the
web-based manager and restore the configuration.
Backup and Restore from a USB key
Use a USB key to either backup a configuration file or restore a configuration file.
You should always make sure a USB key is properly install before proceeding
since the FortiGate unit must recognize that the key is installed in its USB port.

2 Enter the following command to backup the configuration files:
exec backup config usb <filename>
3 Enter the following command to check the configuration files are on the key:
exec usb-disk list
To restore configuration using the CLI
1 Log into the CLI.
2 Enter the following command to restore the configuration files:
exec restore image usb <filename>

This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
3 Type y.
Using the USB Auto-Install
The USB Auto-Install feature automatically updates the FortiGate configuration file
and image file on a system reboot. Also, this feature provides you with an
additional backup if you are unable to save your system settings before shutting
down or rebooting your FortiGate unit.
Note: You can only save VPN certificates if you encrypt the file. Make sure the
configuration encryption is enabled so you can save the VPN certificates with the
configuration file. An encrypted file is ineffective if selected for the USB Auto-Install feature.
