Why does this keep happening? Fortinet makes such great hardware, but they have seriously burned some of us with bad firmware releases. I'm a constant Fortinet advocate, but this kind of **** demonstrates a lack of QC and concern for the customer environment. These type of issues should definitely be exposed by a good QC system and if the firmware has the potential to wipe a config, for godness sakes it should not be released. Those of us who are long time Fortinet customers have learned to be wary of new releases and to always reboot the appliance, take a back up, and wait for others to expose the bugs, but it doesn't need to be that way with the right internal controls at Fortinet. Pick up the slack guys. You make a great product but you are tripping over your own feet when you release builds like this.

Completely agree!! And this is NOT the first time this happens........

Hi,

That's normal, the even release (5.2, 5.4, 5.6, ..) will not implement new functionnality with the minor update.

The firmware with a odd version (5.3, 5.5, ..) will implement new feature ask by a customer (no public release)

The goal is to improve the stability of the firmware, to avoid implement new feature, but with new bug.

good to know about the odd versus even version type.

So..... I elect whoever reads this post to proceed with installing 5.2.4 and to let me know how stable it is! ;)

Related issue on my little lab FGT30D. No connectivity on the LAN interface, attempting to change the interface configuration results in a "Duplicate VDOM" error message. Did not do a lot of troubleshooting on this.

Downgrading via GUI and FortiExplorer failed, had to do a format / reload via TFTP and config restore to get it working.

Only "non-standard" config on the unit is that it was running in interface mode as opposed to switch mode.

Hi

After upgrade, on FWF-60D-POE (5.2.3 > 5.2.4) I had problem with SSL VPN.

Concrete with split-tunneling, that after upgrade is not possible use address-objects which have set interface name to specify split-tunnel address on SSL VPN portal. When I created address-object with interface configuration "any", it began work's.

Has anyone else noticed so far that the "execute ping-options source" parameter dissapeared?

Default source is auto and it seems you cannot change that anymore.

OK, this is strange. Maybe it was a faulty installation. Because of several other problems we reinstalled 5.2.4.

Reinstalling brought back the ping-option source. So everything again as expected so far.

FYI it's a FGT-60D A-P Cluster with vdoms.

what does the view-settings show?

e.g

execute ping-options view-settings

Also what model are you using?

I upgraded one FGT40C from 5.2.3 to 5.2.4. Then all VPN connections disappeared. This was in production so I downgraded to 5.2.3 again, the problem was still there. So I drove back config from 5.2.3 and everything was fine.

Same for me.

Phase1-, Phase2-settings and routes for this tunnel interface disappeared during update.

The tunnel interface and firewall policies with those interfaces were still there.

Happens with a FGT40C but not with a FGT60D. Ticket is already opened...
