restore config
Use this command to restore a primary configuration file from a TFTP server.
|
Back up your configuration before entering this command. This procedure can perform large changes to your configuration, including, if you are downgrading the firmware, resetting all changes that you have made to the FortiMail unit’s configuration file and reverting the system to the default values for the firmware version, including factory default settings for the IP addresses of network interfaces. For information on creating a backup, see the FortiMail Administration Guide. |

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 FortiMail unit to its firmware/factory default configuration. For information on installing firmware via TFTP boot interrupt, see the FortiMail Administration Guide. |
