Hi. Can I know if upgrade FortiManager to 7.2.8 and FortiProxy to 7.2.11, will FortiManager be able to support FortiProxy? 

 

From what I read in FortiManager 7.2.8 release notes, 

FortiManager 7.2.8 supports configuration management for the following versions of FortiProxy:

7.2.9

7.2.7

7.2.6

7.2.3

7.2.2

7.0.12 to 7.0.17

7.0.7 to 7.0.10

FortiManager 7.2.8 supports logs from the following versions of FortiProxy:

7.2.0 to 7.2.9

7.0.0 to 7.0.17

2.0.0 to 2.0.5

1.2.0 to 1.2.13

1.1.0 to 1.1.6

1.0.0 to 1.0.7

 

What does supports configuration management and logs means? If upgrade FortiProxy to 7.2.11 will it have any compatibility issue with FortiManager?

 

Thanks!

Hi @sleepingzzz ,

 

1) If you read it carefully, there is info for what Configuration Management means:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortimanager/7.2.8/release-notes/555004/feature-support

 

2) Supporting logs:

 

We can enable the FAZ function in FMG with which you can receive logs. 

 

3) Neither mentioned FortiProxy 7.2.11. So definitely you will have compatibility issue if you add FortiProxy 7.2.11 into FMG.  I don't think that you can import the configuration from FPX 7.2.11.

    Hi @dingjerry_FTNT,

     

    Thanks for the reply. Does that mean that in order for FMG to be able to support FPX, I need to upgrade both of them to 7.4.x train?

    Hi @sleepingzzz ,

     

    You still need to check the FMG Release Notes doc for the compatibility matrix.

     

    For example, the latest FMG 7.4 patch is 7.4.6 and it supports FortiProxy 7.4.0 - 7.4.5. 

     

    However, the latest FortiProxy 7.4 patch is 7.4.8. 

     

    If you upgrade FortiProxy to 7.4.6 - 7.4.8, no FMG firmware version will support it as of now.

      Hi @dingjerry_FTNT,

       

      So if I want to upgrade from 7.2.x to 7.4.x, is the following sequence correct?

       

      1. Upgrade FMG ADOM to 7.4

      2. Upgrade FMG to 7.4.x

      3. Upgrade FPX to 7.4.x

      Hi,

      Upgrade sequence will be

      1. FMG

      2. FPX

      3. ADOM

       

      ADOM need to be last to upgrade.

        Hi @dingjerry_FTNT ,

         

        Sorry one more question. I have FMG with managed FGT and FPX. Can I check does the upgrade of FGT and FPX need to be done through FMG? Or I can upgrade from individual FGT and FPX?

        Hi @sleepingzzz ,

         

        It's better to use FMG for the upgrade.

          Hi @dingjerry_FTNT,

           

          I just thought of 1 question. As the ADOM need to be upgraded at the very last step, If I were to upgrade all the FGT and spread it across a few days, how do I go about managing FGT from FMG? 

           

          For eg.

          1st day: upgrade FMG from 7.2.x to 7.4.x, ADOM at 7.2

          2nd day: upgrade 1st batch of FGT from 7.2.x to 7.4.x

          3rd day: upgrade remaining FGT from 7.2.x to 7.4.x and upgrade FMG ADOM to 7.4

           

          Can I know how to manage the 1st batch of FGT that are upgraded to 7.4.x but with FMG that is still using ADOM 7.2?

           

          Thanks in advance

          Hi @sleepingzzz ,

           

          1) You can still keep FGT 7.4 in 7.2 ADOM;

          2) I haven't tried it, but it may still work to push changes to FGT 7.4 in ADOM 7.2. 

          3) Since it's only for Day 2 & Day 3, if possible, please try your best not to make any changes during those 2 days on any 7.4 FGTs.
