Hello guys,

is there anyone who knows the exact meaning about letters added after fortios version. for example 6.4.9N . I already know there are 3 letters, (F,N,M). M is a tag indicates "Mature", F for "Feature". but there is no document about letter 'N'. I would be happy if anyone can give me a correct idea about it. 

thanks.

    Hello,

    I have never seen N in a firmware release and I dont think its somewhere mentioned in the documentation, therefore it might have a special use case, for a specific issue/client if it really is.

    Hello @FNT_Learner ,

     

    I think this is not related to maturity level. Because maturity level use starts from 6.4.10.

    Hi @FNT_Learner ,

     

    I believe 'N' means not supported as you referring in upgrade path tool.
