restore config

execute : restore config

restore config

Use this command to restore the configuration from a configuration backup file on an TFTP server, or to install primary or backup firmware.


	Back up the configuration before restoring the configuration. This command restores configuration changes only, and does not affect settings that remain at their default values. Default values may vary by firmware version. For backup commands, see “execute backup cli-config” and “execute backup full-config”.

To use this command, your administrator account’s access control profile must have either w or rw permission to the mntgrp area. For more information, see “Permissions”.

Syntax

execute restore config tftp <filename_str> <tftp_ipv4> [<password_str>]


Variable	Description	Default
<filename_str>	Type the name of the backup or firmware image file.	No default.
<tftp_ipv4>	Type the IP address of the TFTP server.	No default.
[<password_str>]	Type the password that was used to encrypt the backup file, if any. If you do not provide a password, the backup file must have been stored as clear text.	No default.

Example

This example downloads a configuration file named backup.conf from the TFTP server, 192.168.1.23, to the FortiWeb appliance. The backup file was encrypted with the password P@ssword1.

execute restore config tftp backup.conf 192.168.1.23 P@ssword1

The FortiWeb appliance then applies the configuration backup and reboots.
