Upgrade notes

On the VM platform, to avoid the VMware network broadcast storm for the new deployment, each WAN/LAN interface pair is disabled by default so that traffic will not pass through.

In the initial deployment, please remember to enable the WAN/LAN interface pair via CLI.

# config system l2-interface-pair

# edit l2-port1-port2

# set status enable

# next

# end

Upgrading to 6.3.3 causes a 15s network outage, even if FortiDDoS Fail-Open is selected for appropriate traffic ports.

To avoid this, manually enter bypass before the upgrade

#: execute bypass-traffic enable

Select “y” at the prompt

Proceed with upgrade.

The bypass will be removed automatically when the system has rebooted and is operational.
