Question

Applying Traffic Shape on 40C with V5.0 Firmware

Good afternoon!

 

I am having a problem. Our ex-analyst upgraded more than 100 fortigates to a new firmware. The new firmware, V5.0 does not support Traffic Shape on the GUI on 40C units. Apparently it only supports it when manually configured though CLI. My question is, can FortiManager still apply this configuration even though it is not supported in GUI? In tests Fortimanager does not send the configuration line to the fortigate. Will i be forced to downgrade back to V4 firmware in order to continue to use this feature?

 

Thank You!

    In the CLI:

    config system global
        set gui-traffic-shaping enable
    end

    @gschmitt: Nope, on a 40C traffic shaping is CLI only in v5.0. If enabled, it's in the GUI again in v5.2.

     

    FortiManager does not depend on GUI availability to support a feature. I'd check that your version of FM's OS is capable of managing v5.0 Fortigates (see Release Notes either of Fortigate or FM).

    I operated a fortigate 40C under 4.0 with traffic shaping. After updating to 5.2 there is no gui option anymore on traffic shaping. The above commands give an error

     

    (global) # set gui-traffic-shaping enable

    command parse error before 'gui-traffic-shaping'

    Command fail. Return code -61

     

    Any help?
