Question about Fortios 5.4.6 - "The Sequence view and Seq.# column are removed"

[Alex_talmage]

Hi All,

We recently upgraded our Fortigate estate to 5.4.5, and lo and behold 5.4.6 was release 2 days later.

I've been looking through the release notes and found the following statement under "Policy List Display Changes":

In Policy & Objects > Policy lists: l The Sequence view and Seq.# column are removed

We currently use the Sequence View exclusively. We have some rules that must have multiple interfaces in the source or destination field, so cannot use the Interface Pair View, its greyed out. Can somebody who has seen/is using 5.4.6 explain the behaviour of this, so I can ascertain what will happen if we upgrade? Perhaps a screenshot of what the options are now? I'm presuming its Interface Pair View as the only option.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Under 5.4.6 I still have the "By Sequence" and the "Interface Pair View" for security policies.

The Sequence # field does not appear to be available anymore, though.

Thank you for this. And if you select the "By Sequence" view, does it appear in the sequence expected?

Yes, the sequence view appears to be in order (pun intended).

Lol thank you very much. I guess the release notes aren't quite accurate.
