Question

Upgrading FGT to 7.2.10 - your experience?

We are planning to upgrade a bunch of FGT100F to 7.2.10 very soon. The official upgrade path states that this can be done in one single step. Did anyone already do that and did you experience any problems afterwards?
Or was that just related to FOS <= 7.0.14 but not 7.0.15 or newer?

Hello,

Could you please clarify the specific issues you're concerned about with upgrading from FGT100F to FortiOS 7.2.10? Are you experiencing any particular problems or have you heard of issues related to the upgrade process from version 7.0.14 or earlier?

    This might impact you. I just saw this 30 min ago. I have to test it with our RADIUS before upgrading ours to 7.2.10.

        @kumarth there was issues when upgrading 7.0.14 or earlier to 7.2.9. We had some problems with non existend Webfilter cathegories that prvented addind to FMG or retrieving config in FMG if I remember correctly. 

         

        @Toshi_Esumi we don't use radius proxy. We do radius auth using a FAC. So not sure wether that impacts us.

          Nobody, other than you, would know how you use your FGT. So asking "Would 7.2.10 impact me?" might not get any useful response for YOU, but might be useful for others who is following the conversation. That's why I replied.

          I did not ask if it would impact me. I just asked for everyones experience with the update :)

          Little reminder to all those using the free fortigate cloud subscription: From the 1st of November, you'll get a new, but forced feature: automatic upgrades, which you cannot disable. Live with it, pay for Fortigate cloud (allows you to disable automatic upgrades) or leave Fortigate cloud.

            thanks for the reminder.

            Does not affect my FGTs because we licensed Fortigate Cloud on all our FGT :)

            FortiOS  from 9.2.7 to 9.2.10 failed to upgrade via Automatic so has to do it via manual file upload.
