Hi tanr,

 

we got fortios 5.4.7, 5.2.13 and fortimail 5.4.3

no issues so far, exept the syslog thing but this was introduced with 5.6.0

and maybe get patched with 5.6.2 like the support told me.

If your FAZ VM is on ESXi, you need to remap the interfaces for that VM.  This change occurs when upgrading to FAZ 5.6.x from FAZ 5.4.x (or earlier).  For more details, see the release notes.

Yes, that is the problem indeed.  But before the upgrade the port mappings were correct (Port1 -> Interface 1). After the upgrade it is now Port1 ->Interface 4.

So i'm not too happy about that.

We ran into the same network problem as gdoornenbal.

We used to have port1 mapping to "Network Adapter1" on 5.4.4. We lost the network connection after upgrade to 5.6.1.

We had to go to VMware to disable "Network Adapter1" and enable ""Network Adapter4"

This is the opposite of the description on page 10 of https://docs.fortinet.com...r-v5.6.1-release-notes

Says it works with all the current 5.4.x and 5.6.x FortiOS versions (up to 5.4.7 and 5.6.3).

 

Hoping to hear how FAZ 5.6.1 works out for those with 5.4.6+ FortiGates.

im very happy about this.

Please fortinet let my syslog issue solved next.

 

Overall Gui feels very solid and a bit faster now.

@giraffe, are you running 5.4.x FortiGates with the 5.6.1 FAZ?  If so, how is it going?  Any issues?

 

Thanks.

And it crashed my FortiAnalyzer VM64.. Upgraded from 5.4.6, but after restart no network connection anymore.. At the console everything seems to have worked okay..

Anyone familiar with this problem?

Ticket already created, but no response yet...

Yes, unfortunately it was a one-time tradeoff that had to be made.  New installs of FAZ-VM on ESXi had non-intuitive mappings by default.  It was this that was being corrected.  Unfortunately, it meant that those upgrading had to make a one-time change.
