FG 60E Firmware Update Issue

[ando_lab]

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with my Fortigate FG 60E. It hasn't updated to the latest firmware and is currently on version 7.2.6. When I check the 'latest' section under fabric management firmware update, it indicates that the firmware is up to date. However, if I select 'all updates,' it shows that versions 7.4.0, 7.4.1, and 7.4.2 are available. Should I manually update from 7.2.6 to 7.4.2, or is it better to wait until these updates appear under 'latest'?

From the Upgrade path for your device you can upgrade directly to 7.4.X.

I think that "Latest" means latest for 7.2 line only. The 7.4 will never appear there unless the firmware will be changed at one point in the future regarding this logic.

Hi

Going from 7.2.5 to 7.2.6 is "update", and going from 7.2.x to 7.4.x is "upgrade".

That's probably why you see that.

Now if you really need the new features that are provided on 7.4 then you can upgrade. Otherwise it is not necessary to do.
