Is FortiGate 7.2 stable enough for production environment?  Any known major bugs?  I have a simple 4 site implementation using FortiAnalizer, FortiManager, WebFiltering, FortiAP, and FortSwitches.

Dear Amoore,

 

Thank you for posting to Fortinet Community Forum.

 

I understand that you want to know if there are any bugs or vulnerabilities in this latest firmware v7.2.0.

 

In general, 7.0.3 would be most stable version currently. It contains bug fixes resolving issues in earlier 7.0.x versions, but not the new features of 7.2

Please find the FortiOS version 7.2.0 release notes where you can see a list of known issues and resolved issues in this version:

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.0/fortios-release-notes/236526/known-issues
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.0/fortios-release-notes/289806/resolved-issues

Please let me know if you have any further queries/concerns.

I am upgrading  FortiOS 7.2.4 firmware from FortiOS 7.0.12. I got the Alert message " Could not find a valid upgrade path for this firmware version. Ensure that upgrading to FortiOS v 7.2.4build1396 from FortiOS v 7.0.12 build0523 is supported, otherwise it may result in the lost of configuration" what does it mean? is it stable or not ?

According to the Upgrade Path utility, the only valid update from 7.0.12 to 7.2 code is directly to 7.2.5, so from 7.0.12 to 7.2.4 is not supported. Can't answer to the stability of 7.2.5 code, so will let someone else chime in on that one.

HI Everyone , 

Could you please confirm if firmware version 7.2.9 is stable for use in a live environment? Additionally, could you recommend which version in the 7.2.X series is considered the most stable for deployment?
