Update the FortiDeceptor firmware
Before any firmware update, complete the following:
- Download the FortiDeceptor firmware image and Release Notes document from the Fortinet Customer Service & Support portal. Review the Release Notes, including the special notices, upgrade information, product integration and support, and resolved and known issues.
- Back up your configuration file. It is highly recommended that you create a system backup file and save it to your management computer. You can also schedule the system to back up system configurations to a remote server.
- Plan a maintenance window to complete the firmware update. If possible, you may want to set up a test environment to ensure that the update does not negatively impact your network.
- Once the update is complete, test your FortiDeceptor device to ensure that the update was successful.
