Chapter 10 Install and System Administration for FortiOS 5.0 : Basic Administration : Firmware : Reverting to a previous firmware version - web-based manager
  
Reverting to a previous firmware version - web-based manager
The following procedures revert the FortiGate unit to its factory default configuration and deletes any configuration settings.
If you are reverting to a previous FortiOS version, you might not be able to restore the previous configuration from the backup configuration file.
 
Always remember to back up your configuration before making any changes to the firmware.
To revert to a previous firmware version
1. Copy the firmware image file to the management computer.
2. Log into the FortiGate web-based manager.
3. Go to System > Dashboard > Status.
4. Under System Information > Firmware Version, select Update.
5. Type the path and filename of the firmware image file, or select Browse and locate the file.
6. Select OK.
The FortiGate unit uploads the firmware image file, reverts to the old firmware version, resets the configuration, restarts, and displays the FortiGate login. This process takes a few minutes.
7. Log into the web-based manager.
8. Restore your configuration.
For information about restoring your configuration see “Restoring a configuration”.
