Lost access over BGP when upgrading from 5.2.3 -> 5.2.10

Hi, 

We tried to upgrade a cluster of FGT100D's from 5.2.3 to 5.2.10 (by going .5,.7,.9 then .10)

Everything went well, minus the fact I lost all inbound traffic over BGP. Both of my neighbours were up and established and everything looked fine when I ran diag commands (I didn't have time to packet trace due to prod down).

When I downgraded back to 5.2.3 everything came back alive. I didn't try any version in between, rather stick with the devil I know until I sort this out.

 

So wondering if there have been significant changes to BGP or routing between these versions. I suspect it may be an access list, or my use of a Loopback interface. Here is my relevant config, any input would be really appreciated!

 

I did read about changes to using ge and le in access lists in 5.2.4 but that doesn't seem to be my issue, but it has be thinking I have a problem with my access lists

Hello,

 

I'm having the same, but after upgrade 5.2.3 to 5.4.3.

 

I can see a lot of routes in my routing table, but looks like my route is not being propagated.

 

When I got back to 5.2.3 everthing works fine again. Looks like something at version 5.4.3.

You should step the firmware up one version at a time (5.2.3 to 5.2.5) and see how it does....test things out......then do the same thing again a few days later. Rinse and repeat until you find the version that proves to be the culprit.

Actually we found a route map out, was causing the issue, so we take out and everthing is ok now.

 

Something about 5.4 version, because I tried to downgrade 5.4.2 and still the same. Now running in version 5.4.3.
