Mandatory FortiSwitch Firmware Upgrade

Some deployed FortiSwitch devices are currently running outdated firmware versions. These outdated versions will experience compatibility issues with the upcoming renewal of the FortiEdge Cloud controller backend SSL certificates.

To ensure uninterrupted service and avoid potential network disruptions, it is critical that all the affected switches be upgraded to version 7.0.3 or later as soon as possible. This ensures compatibility with the new SSL certificates and prevents management overhead.

Devices not upgraded by August 1st will lose Cloud connectivity. Beyond this date, remote management will be disabled, and firmware must be updated manually via a local connection.

To avoid any unexpected outages or inconvenience, we strongly encourage you to take immediate action and schedule the upgrade at your earliest convenience.
