Hi Everyone,
I have to setup 2 Fortigates to be VPN linked across the country for a company's 2 different locations.
I have a 30D - Currently at v5.0, build 0292 (GA Patch 9) and
I have a 60C - Currently at v5.0, build 0318,150514 (GA Patch 12)
* I will be using Point to Point VPN to link them. (Preferrably IPSec)
* On the 60C, I will use both WAN ports and want the failover (when WAN1 falls down) to work and respond fairly quickly -- assuming the Point to Point VPN link will reconnect over WAN2 out to the 30D automatically? Please confirm that as well.
* Behind the 60C I have an office full of 10 to 20 users that will be using the Internet and web applications that are hosted through the VPN link to the 30D's network.
* I may setup VPN for end users on the 60C but I don't want to stress it. At most there will be a small handful of home VPN users (5 or 6 at most. Usually 3)
My main question is: Given my main goals, above, what version of the FortiOS do I want to use on these devices?
I have a support contract on both, so I am being offered (through Fortiexplorer) to upgrade to 5.0.12(build 00318) or 5.2.5(build 00701) on the 60C and I can go for 5.0.12, 5.2.5, or 5.4.0 on the 30D.
Thank you - appreciate any rapid replies since I'm supposed to be working on this for the weekend...

Please - one at a time. You guys are awesome ;) j/k
So, I went with 5.2.5 (build701 GA) on both. It seems to do Site to Site very easily.
Still, I'm wondering if I should implement VPN for end users on the 60c or just have it do the site2site. I dont want to stress the unit.
I'll post any further q's as I continue configuring them.
Thx in advance for anyone that responds.
