Thoughts on upgrading to 7.6?

[kohramach01]

Hello everyone,

We are currently running 7.4.7 on all our Fortigates (around 35 of them). The recommended version Fortinet has listed is 7.4.8 but we are considering jumping to 7.6.

Are there anyone here running v7.6 and especially v7.6.5 in their production network? What’s your experience with the version? Any issues you have faced? I see it being a mature version as well. Some have mentioned that it is ”still too early” for 7.6 in a production environment but the 7.6 has now been out there for over a year now.

If you are using SSL VPN tunnel mode then it will be replaced by IPSEC vpn tunnel starting version 7.6.3. All existing configurations related to SSL VPN tunnel mode, including associated firewall policies, are not upgraded from previous versions to FortiOS 7.6.3. Please check migration steps.

if you dont require the new features in 7.6 or a resolved issue in that major release that is fixed for you, i would do with the recommended firmware.
