Hello guys.

I´m new here as a user, but used to visit as a guest;

 

And I would like to upgrade my Firewalls from the old 5.0.9 to the a stable version of 5.2.

 

But I´m a little afraid to do it, you know... 

 

I saw that some guys got a little problem here, because of that last version.

 

So... what you think guys? 

 

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    if you follow the upgrade path, there shouldn't be any issues with the actual builds of 5.2. The current 5.2.13 is rock solid.

     

    But remember: FortiOS 5.0 is already out of support. FortiOS 5.2 will be end-of-support in October 2018.

    So - thinkin a bit ahead won't be a mistake....

    The sadness part is that one of my Fortigate firewalls is a 300C which is great hardware. But it do not support 5.4 Firmwares.

    =(
