Hi Folks,

 

I need to upgrade Fortigate firmware from 5.4.1 -> 6.0.2 I have the upgrade path 5.4.1->5.4.3->5.4.5->5.6.2->5.6.6->6.0.2 build 0163

 

Just looking for some one experience going from 5.4.1 -> 6.0.2 build. Is it ok to upgrade or should go with 5->6 or should I take a  while after every patch upgrade?

 

Thanks

A

    Hi

    If I were you:

    a. i would add one more upgrade step to latest 5.4 (before jump to 5.5)

    b. I would stay to latest 5.6,, FortiOS 6.x needs fixes.

    that means

    5.4.1->5.4.3->5.4.5->5.4.10 ->5.6.2->5.6.6||

    DO not forget to read the release notes of this upgrades and take backup configuration after every upgrade , inorder to rollback if needed.

    Hi,

    I didn't quite understand your request. Are you looking to know if v6.0.2 is stable? If that is the question, I recommend you to install the v.5.6.6, because version 6.0.2 is not stable enough. I recommend you always to wait between 4 and 5 releases before upgrading.

    I upgraded a 100D a few days ago from 5.2.13 to 5.6.6 (suggested upgrade path), so far everything seems OK. I would't dare to use 6.0.x in production yet

    Did you upgrade it from 5.2.13 -> 5.6.6 in one go ? or did you wait after every upgrade patch?

     

    Thanks
