Managing the FortiLog unit
To perform this procedure you need to install a TFTP server that you can connect to
from the FortiLog unit LAN port. The TFTP server should be on the same subnet as
the LAN port.
Before beginning this procedure you can back up the FortiLog unit configuration. For
information, see
“Backing up system settings” on page 39

For all three FortiLog models, use a terminal emulation software to access the
