I noticed the following posts where people reported problems with FortiSwitch 124E having ISL timeouts, CAPWAP tunnels going down, disconnects followed by being unable to manage from the FortiGate, etc. up through firmware 3.6.3.

I wanted to check if these problems have been resolved with the newer (3.6.6?) firmware, or by fixing up the switches time/date as bommi mentioned in one of the threads? I've been considering getting a 124E-POE or 124E-FPOE for our satellite office but would like confirmation that it's stable first!
Also, could anybody running the 124E-POE or 124E-FPOE let me know how loud its "smart" fan is under low load? Mine will only have about 15-18 ports connected, with max POE load about 50 watts and low bandwidth use during the day, but its rack is in an office about 3 feet from somebody's desk.
I'll post a link in those other posts to connect back to here.
The capwap down issue only happened in configurations where the fortilink interface were build using an link-aggregation.
On installations where the fortilink is only one physical port this never happened.
NSE 4/5/7
My fortilink is over LAG, which is probably a pretty common use case. Guess I'll find out!
