Description

This article describes an issue where each FortiSwitch may appear multiple times in the Firmware & Registration and Security Fabric topology views.

Scope

FortiGate v7.4.5, v7.4.6, v7.4.7.

Solution

In the Firmware & Registration and Security Fabric topology views, each FortiSwitch may be displayed multiple times with different statuses.

However, it appears correctly under Managed FortiSwitches.

Note:

This issue can trigger the HA Cluster to be out of sync because the FortiSwitches can be shown twice on the Secondary FortiGate and not in the Primary FortiGate.

 

This issue has been resolved in v7.4.8 and v7.6.1.
