Testing new firmware before installing
You can test a new firmware image by installing the firmware image from a
system reboot and saving it to system memory. After completing this procedure,
the FortiGate unit operates using the new firmware image with the current
configuration. This new firmware image is not permanently installed. The next
time the FortiGate unit restarts, it operates with the originally installed firmware
image using the current configuration. If the new firmware image operates
successfully, you can install it permanently using the procedure “Upgrading the
firmware” on page 45.
To use this procedure, you must connect to the CLI using the FortiGate console
port and a RJ-45 to DB-9 or null modem cable. This procedure temporarily installs
a new firmware image using your current configuration.
For this procedure you install a TFTP server that you can connect to from the
FortiGate internal interface. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as
the internal interface.
Note: You need an unencrypted configuration file for this feature. Also the default files,
image.out and system.conf, must be in the root directory of the USB key.
Note: Make sure at least FortiOS v3.0MR1 is installed on the FortiGate unit before
installing.
Note: If you are trying to delete a configuration file from the CLI command interface, and
the filename contains spaces, you will need quotations around the filename before you can
delete the file from the FortiUSB key.
