6.4 is pretty stable. If all your switches are on same 6.4.11 then keep it that way IMO.

have you ruled out layer 1 (Cable, transceiver, interface errors, other connectivity issues?)

 

also am i reading this correctly? is the 124F connected to two different switches (two different trunk interfaces, *453-0 and *432-0)? what if you keep it connected to only one switch at a time?

Most of the Switches are connected in same way.

 


in actual design 2 of 3 124Fs have direct connections to 1048 and . 3rd 124F will have two trunks with each of two 124Fs.

OK so the 124F that is disconnecting frequently is *371?

 

It is normally connected via two trunks to *432 and *453?


So far correct?

 

If so, what happens if you only keep on of the trunks active to either *432 or *452.


Also, have you looked at the interface stats. Any errors or disconnects there?

What about OS , upgrade is required or the 6.4.11 is best. Fortigate on 6.4.9.
