Hello @@kioticwrath,

Could you share the complete outputs from the Console screen?

When exactly you started facing this issue?

If it was post upgrade, then the firmware is likely corrupted which might require a reset of Hardware and upgrading via boot sequence.

Take a paper-clip and press reset button on the fortiswitch for 10 secs.
