| Description | This article describes how to troubleshoot the issue on FortiGate-80F, where the interfaces of wan1 and wan2 (fiber connection_ are down after upgrading to v7.4.8). |
| Scope | FortiGate-80F v7.4.8. |
| Solution |
After upgrading FortiGate-80F to v7.4.8, the interfaces of wan1 and wan2 are showing as down if a fiber connection was used before the upgrade. To confirm the status, the following should be checked:
get system interface transceiver
diagnose hardware deviceinfo nic wan1 diagnose hardware deviceinfo nic wan2
Sample output:
========== Link Status ==========
get system interface physical wan1 get system interface physical wan2
The medium is showing as copper, the issue faced matches a known issue reported for FortiGate-80F v7.4.8:
FGT # get system interface physical wan2
The issue is resolved in v7.4.9 and v7.6.4. The workaround for v7.4.8 is to set the medium type to fiber manually:
diagnose hardware shared-port wan1 fiber diagnose hardware shared-port wan2 fiber
The commands need to be issued on Primary and Secondary devices separately if HA is configured. |
