How long has your Fortigate been up?

Just noticed today that our 500 has been up for 190 days on 2.8 MR10, we had periods before when we were lucky to get a week before it needed a reboot I am sincerely hoping 3.0 can be as stable. Shane.

Just rebooted one of mine last month to update the OS. It was up for about 210 days on 2.8 Build 393. I used to have an original Model 50 that during the first days of Netsky I had to reboot twice a day.

280 days before I booted them. But the boot wasn' t needed but I needed to see what happened when I did since I had never tried it.

Our pair of 3600s has been up since we installed them. The only oputages have been planned, scheduled, or power related. Haven' t had a single failure. They were installed approximately 9 months. Pretty impressive especially considering the complexity, number of connecctions, and the size of our network.

Just under 60 days. The web filtering started to get flaky, so I loaded in build 405 over build 403 and rebooted, and everyone' s happy again. Let' s restart the clock!

As this post is being updated The 500 we had we kept up for over a year on 2.8, we then installed 3.0. That unit has now gone to firewall heaven as it died about 3 weeks ago, we got it replaced with a 500A for free, so that' s nice Shane
