I recently upgraded a FG60F running 7.0.5 to 7.0.12. After looking at the upgrade tool, the recommended path was: 7.0.5 --> 7.0.7 --> 7.0.9 --> 7.0.11 --> 7.0.12. However, that is not what happened when using the GUI.
When I started, the GUI (System>>Firmware) allowed me to chose to Follow Upgrade Path. It showed the path going from 7.0.5 to 7 to 9 to 11 to 12, where 7.0.7 would be installed as port of the incremental upgrade process.
.
I chose Backup config and upgrade. This resulted in:
- a backup being generated
- 7.0.7 downloaded and installed
- the unit rebooted
I logged into the FG and the current software was 7.0.7. I then went back to System>>Firmware.
This time is showed:
After clicking on:
The image was expanded showing that 7.0.9 would be installed as part of the incremental upgrade process.
I chose Confirm and Backup Config.
This resulted in a backup being generated. However, instead of 7.0.9 being downloaded and installed; 7.0.12 was downloaded and installed. The rest of the upgrade path was ignored.
This brings me to my questions:
1. Is there something wrong with the upgrade process in the GUI?
2. Am I missing something?
3. Should I manually upgrade the unit, following the upgrade path recommended by the Upgrade Path Tool Table?
4. Can anyone shed light as to why this happened?
thanks!
