FortiOS v5.6.3 is out!

[storaid]

today v5.6.3 has been released...

I'm curious...

starting from this version, are you using lazy-loading to improve page loading???

[storaid]

sometimes I got a this weird js error return ....

Also, there is a mismatch between FortiSwitch and FortiGate regarding 802.1.x and "Guest authentication delay", on the switch (3.6.3) you can set a range between 1-900 seconds, but on the FortiGate the range is 60-900 seconds. (it was the same on 5.6.2)

Please align the features.

No more section labels in policy list.

Man, why oh why did you remove this feature?!?!?!

Release notes don't list bug 458586 " Security Policy GUI Page in Interface Pair View Always Expanded" as fixed or as a known issue.  Seeing as it had been requested for the fix schedule for 5.4.7 and 5.6.3 that's not good.  This is an annoyance and a time waster every single time I open the security policies page.  Unless they silently fixed it?

Can anyone with 5.6.3 confirm if the GUI Security Policy Page in Interface Pair View always shows as fully expanded or is it remembering state again?

@rojekj, you're talking about global-labels, yes? Per https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/7hjxoe/probably_the_display_qol_change_in_history/ it looks like they've broken this in both 5.4.6 and 5.6.3.  The fix just got postponed till 5.4.8 and 5.6.4.

@tanr; I just upgraded from 5.6.2 to 5.6.3 and can confirm that the GUI page in section view is now always loading up as fully expanded (it didn't previously).

For me it's not that much of a deal, you can always just right click on one of the sections and select 'Collapse All' but would still be nice not to have to do those two clicks every time :)

I've also noticed that the section/labels are not available anymore when you look at policies in sequence view.

I do love the small icons near each interface name in the policies that show the type of interface (physical, vlan, vpn, sd-wan).

Unfortunately broken in 5.6.3 :(

And it was working OK in 5.6.2

@rojekj

Unless you have specific major issue on 5.6.3, which does work on 5.4.7, I would stay on 5.6.x.

5.4.x is not so great as well (at least was not) especially for E line. I was forced to upgrade to 5.6.0 due to several issues @5.4.x on several E boxes and I'm not going back...

"diagnose sys top-summary" summarises instances of same process type - "diagnose sys top" cannot.
