We ran into the same network problem as gdoornenbal.

We used to have port1 mapping to "Network Adapter1" on 5.4.4. We lost the network connection after upgrade to 5.6.1.

We had to go to VMware to disable "Network Adapter1" and enable ""Network Adapter4"

Says it works with all the current 5.4.x and 5.6.x FortiOS versions (up to 5.4.7 and 5.6.3).

 

Hoping to hear how FAZ 5.6.1 works out for those with 5.4.6+ FortiGates.

@giraffe, are you running 5.4.x FortiGates with the 5.6.1 FAZ?  If so, how is it going?  Any issues?

 

Thanks.

Just did an upgrade, and when the system came up most of my devices were red/down. Ping from both sides were ok. Testing the connection under log settings did not help. I figured I would give the FortiAnalyzer a reboot, and after that all was back to normal.. just as a tip for anyone wanting to upgrade..

Hi Fred,

 

When you see the upgrade issue, could you please let me know the upgrade path? Thanks.
