Forticonsole

When will forticonsole v4.0-build0640 be available?

[sasa_g]

It is available on ftp.

Strongly recommend you try FortiConsole build658 (matching to firmware 4.3.5) as it is much improved in stability. One exception - no section view, only global view is available due to a new bug.

Then it would be a good idea to publish the forticonsole on the ftp

[Sean_Toomey]

Indeed, but I can' t make them do it :) Contact support, they readily supplied me with the file. I' d provide it here except it' s WAY too big.

[Carl_Wallmark]

well, im not in a hurry, I cant really see the value with the forticonsole, as long as you can´t push the configuration to the devices. Then you ending up using both interfaces anyway.

[Sean_Toomey]

I suspect you won' t be able to push policy from FortiConsole for some time. In order to do that, you' d really need to be able to to see device status / device manager as well as preview functionality. In other words, I' m not sure I' d WANT to push from FortiConsole without being able to see status of all my firewalls and whether they are in sync, etc. Also while FortiConsole is getting much better it is still somewhat buggy in my estimation, build 640 was almost unusable and build 658 while better is still kind of touch and go. Sometimes it crashes or hangs when I' m moving around the interface. I shudder to think what could happen if FortiConsole crashed during a policy install. That said, I do like where they are going with it and I hope more improvements are on the way!
