execute restore config

Use this command to restore a primary configuration file from a TFTP server.

Back up your configuration before using this command. This command makes major changes to your configuration. If you are downgrading the firmware, this procedure resets all changes you have made to the FortiNDR configuration file and reverts the system to the default values for that firmware version, including factory default settings for the IP addresses of network interfaces. For information on creating a backup, see the FortiAI Administration Guide in the Fortinet Document Library.

Unlike installing firmware via TFTP during a boot interrupt, installing firmware using this command will attempt to preserve settings and files, and not necessarily restore the FortiNDR unit to its firmware/factory default configuration. For information on installing firmware via TFTP boot interrupt, see the FortiNDR Administration Guide.
