Managing firmware with the FortiGate BIOS

Managing firmware with the FortiGate BIOS

FortiGate units are shipped with firmware installed. Usually firmware upgrades are performed through the web-based manager or by using the CLI execute restore command. From the console, you can also interrupt the FortiGate unit’s boot-up process to load firmware using the BIOS firmware that is a permanent part of the unit.

Using the BIOS, you can:

  • view system information
  • format the boot device
  • load firmware and reboot
  • reboot the FortiGate unit from the backup firmware, which then becomes the default firmware
