Hello. We are getting ready to migrate to a new Fortigate 101F. Our current device is a Fortigage 101E.

The version of FortiOS installed on the new device is 7.2.8. Should I upgrade to 7.2.11 or go to the latest 7.4 release. We are currently running 6.4.16 on the 101E.

Hi @rg2017 ,

7.2 train is at the end of EOES so it's better to upgrade to 7.4 train at least.

Please check this article for more info about EOES:
