FortiGate: Upgrading the firmware via CLI

FortiGate: Upgrading the firmware via CLI

To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP or FTP server that FortiDB can connect to. You must also log in using the “admin” administrator account.
  1. Start the FTP or TFTP server.
  2. Copy the new firmware image file to the FTP or TFTP server.
  3. Log into the CLI.
  4. Verify that FortiDB can connect to the FTP or TFTP server. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter the CLI command: 
    execute ping 192.168.1.168
  5. Enter the following command to copy the firmware image from the TFTP server to FortiDB: 
    execute restore image ftp  
execute restore image tftp
    Where is the name and location of the firmware image file and or is the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server. For example, if the firmware image file name is image.out and the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server is 192.168.1.168, enter:
    execute restore image tftp image.out 192.168.1.168
    FortiDB responds with the message:
    This operation will replace the current firmware version!
Do you want to continue? (y/n)
  6. Type y. FortiDB downloads the firmware image file, upgrades to the new firmware version, and restarts. This process takes a few minutes.
  7. Reconnect to the CLI.
  8. To confirm the new firmware image is successfully installed, enter: 
    get system status

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80 Unable to Connect to Server A connection to the management server will fail if: A firewall between SmartConsole and the management server blocks Port 19009 -  port 19009 is used for a new R80 service. Allow traffic on this port for all clients and management servers. No GUI clients are assigned -  Open the Gaia Portal. If the First Time Configuration Wizard opens, complete it. If the First Time Configuration Wizard has already run, open  User Management > GUI Clients  and add a client. When using Multi-Domain Security Management, connect SmartConsole to the Multi-Domain Server and make sure the domains have GUI clients assigned to them. The required processes are not reachable -  Make sure the computer with SmartConsole installed can reach the IP address of the management server, and that these server processes are up and running: cpm fwm Operation time out  – Your connection ...
