Question

FortiGate upgrade from 5.2.11 to 5.4.4

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my FortiGate 100D from 5.2.11 to 5.4.4, is there any concerns I should take note of? I know that the webGUI will change a lot but in terms of the configuration will it remain the same or there be any conflicts whatsoever? I read the release notes and didn't notice any issues for the F100D but has anyone experience anything out of the norm? Or faced any difficulties? Also with the GUI changes, are there any settings that will be removed or shifted? I assume its a lot more streamlined so certain things will be on different fields?

 

Thanks in advance.

It was quite some time ago when we did the same upgrade to 1500Ds and 200Ds but I don't recall any major issues. We might have experienced something with SSL VPN but it might have been with 5.0->5.2 upgrade.

Wait more comments from others.

It should be basic and normal  process. Follow the  migration guide, read the release notes, and you are aware  5.4.6 is the latest ?

Following the upgrade path is says I should get on 5.4.4 before heading to 5.6.2. Any reason I should be in 5.4.6?

Thanks in advance.

We are in the same situation (FortiGate 100D with 5.2.11). Did you upgrade? If so, to what version?  Any problems?

 

Thanks in advance.
