Hi, I am looking to upgrade firmware of my FG 200D from v5.2.3 to ???...  I am not in a huge rush unless there are some audit security reason that are needed.  I have 2 units that are in A/P-HA Mode in Production.  Which version should I upgrade to.  Not sure if going to v5.2.8 or v5.4.1 is best... any Pros and Cons to each version... Any bugs that I need to be worried about... 

- using 2 WAN and 3 LAN interfaces

- HA is Active/Passive

- 200+ Policies

- 200+ Object address

- 150+ Services

- 30+ Virtual IPs

- 20+ IP Pools

IPSec VPN Tunnels

SSL VPN Tunnels

alright, we got it...(you as poster can delete a post which you deem superfluous)

 

First, don't fix what ain't broken. Really.

 

IMHO the next stable version after v5.2.3 is v5.2.8. Common opinion is to stay away from v5.4 for the time being.

But, v5.2.8 may have trouble with SSL VPN tunnels (check the latest posts), and the just-released v5.2.9 as well. Of course, not all Fortigates in all production networks have broken SSL VPN tunnels now. It would be wise to search the forums for posts on this.

How about 5.2.9 ? It's been out since Sept 7 and has a few fix.
