    Hi Keeping in touch with this forum, I see that EVERYONE who installed 6.0.x FortiOS encounter problems.

    This FortiOS is very fresh. I would recomend to downgrade to latest 5.6 which is smooth.

    I think I will

    Because this is not the only problem ..

    We're migrating from SRX to this fortigate and we encountered ip conn error (A LOT) .. although the configurations seems to be OK .. some web application didn't run and we rolledback quikly

    Anyway .. the memory on 36% is not a normal behaviour (in my opinion) but i need to be sure .. if anyone has an idea please advise

    36% memory isn't anything out of the ordinary. I have my 201E on 6.0.3 and it runs at about 34% memory with no traffic going through.

     

    You should be alarmed when it starts reaching 70%.
