Changed network interface mapping in 5.6

[Tom99]

Hi,

we are using Vmware 5 and Analyzer FAZ-VM64 5.4.3 and planing a update to 5.6.

in the Release notes are described:

ESX VM network mapping after upgrade

Starting with FortiAnalyzer 5.6.0, Fortinet changed the network interface mapping as shown below. After upgrade

to FortiAnalyzer 5.6.0, you must edit ESX VM network mapping in order to preserve network connectivity.

port1 -> Network Adapter 1

port2 -> Network Adapter 2

port3 -> Network Adapter 3

port4 -> Network Adapter 4

New FortiAnalyzer 5.6.0 VM installations use the correct mapping with ESX 5.5 and later.

As I understand the network no longer works after the update.

I am not responsible for VMware. Does the Vmware administrator need to make changes there? And if so, what?

Regards

Tom

Yes, your VMWare admin will need to make sure the interface mapping is correct for that VM after upgrade. 

The customer support bulletin illustrates it further.   See CSB-170728-1 on the support page: https://support.fortinet....ormation/bulletin.aspx

Thank you. I installed the update. And the VM admin could adapt with your info the network settings accordingly.
