NOTES:

  • Fortinet recommends that while upgrading 32-bit controllers, use the upgrade controller command instead of the upgrade system command.
  • Controller upgrade performed via CLI interface will require a serial or SSH2 connection to connect to the controller and use its CLI.
  • FortiWLC-1000D and FortiWLC-3000D and 64-bit virtual controller upgrades can be performed via GUI as well.
  • Upgrade the FortiWLC-1000D and 3000D controllers with manufacturing version prior to 8.3-0GAbuild-93 to version 8.3-0GAbuild-93 and then to the later builds.
