| Description |
This article describes a behavior where users upgrade the FortiGate to v7.4.7, and the IP in the FortiManager connector is changed to '::FFFF:X.X.X.X'. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.4.7 and FortiManager v7.4.6. |
| Solution |
Users configure a Fortimanager in FortiGate for the central management settings.
config system central-management end
After upgrading to version 7.4.7, at the beginning of the FortiManager IP, the parameter 'ffff' gets added.
config system central-management end
This can cause FortiGate to change the source IP used for the communication. Run the following debugs to verify:
diagnose debug disable diagnose debug reset
To stop debugging:
diagnose debug disable
In the debugs, it can be seen:
allow-push-firmware : enable
Workaround:
Note: When trying to modify the IP through the CLI, FortiGate shows an error regarding the FortiManager Serial Number.
fnsysctl killall fgfmd
Fix schedule: Upgrade to versions 7.4.8 and 7.6.1. |
