Downgrading to previous firmware versions

FortiManager does not provide a full downgrade path. You can downgrade to a previous firmware release by using the GUI or CLI, but doing so results in configuration loss. A system reset is required after the firmware downgrade process has completed. To reset the system, use the following CLI commands via a console port connection:

execute reset {all-settings | all-except-ip}

execute format {disk | disk-ext4 | disk-ext3}
