Fortigate 6.4 to 7.2 - Update best practices

[dernu]

Hi!

I need to update some Fortigate from 6.4 to 7.2 along the upgrade path, soon.

Can you give me some hints about changes, problems and changed defaults, I have to take care of?

I read the release notes, but would be happy to get some “real-world” hints.

One of the devices is in layer 2 bridged mode (not VirtualWire), the rest are clusters and devices in routed mode. Some with explicit proxies.

Thank you for your tipps

Hello,
In this case you better know your environment, and you just need to have a look of release notes special notices and new-features-or-enhancements:
https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.8/fortios-release-notes/708555/special-notices

What i would suggest is to use the latest build on branch 7.2
