Fortigate 201F firmware upgrade from 6.4.13 to 7.0.12

Good afternoon,

After upgrading the Fortigate 201F firmware version, from 6.4.13 to 7.0.12, the existing configured VPN SSL Policies changed from enable to disable

Do you have any suggestion how to fix that?

Upgrading to an earlier firmware version, like 7.2.5 will solve it?

Thanks,

FortiGate

Hi @MS_Net ,

Thank you for reaching out.
I believe you took a backup of the config before the upgrade from 6.4.13 to 7.0.12. And usually if you downgrade the firmware to 6.4.13 and you restore the same backup it should be on same state as you left it prior upgrade.

Regarding "Upgrading to an earlier firmware version, like 7.2.5" , this is a later version than 7.0.12.
You can try to upgrade and share the results.

Regards!

Good afternoon,

The Fortigate 201F had the firmware version 6.4.13, and with this version the existing configured VPN SSL Policies were all enable

Although, after upgrading the Fortigate 201F firmware version, from 6.4.13 to 7.0.12, the existing configured VPN SSL Policies changed from enable to disable

And they only became enable again, after the rollback from 7.0.12 to 6.4.13 version

Do you have any suggestion how to fix that?

Upgrading to an earlier firmware version, like 7.2.5 will solve it?

Upgrading to 7.2.5 will help only if it is a bug in 7.0.12 and the fix is available in 7.2.5. I did a quick search , but couldn't find any matching bugs.

Instead of an upgrade/downgrade during problem state, can we manually enable the policies? How many such policies are there ? May be you can download the config backup after upgrade and then use a text editor to change/replace disable to enable and then reload the configuration (please make sure only the policies are changed and no other settings changed enabled/disabled)
