729134

Resolved an issue that could prevent OSPF from re-negotiating successfully after an FGCP HA failover.

732017

Resolved an issue that could cause OSPF adjacencies to fail after an FGCP HA failover even though the FortiGate configuration enables OSPF graceful restart.

732071

Resolved a timing issue that could cause an FPC or FPM to become unresponsive for an extended period of time after a firmware upgrade when the configuration includes a large number of UTM profile groups.

733058

IPS TLS probe requests can now be configured from the mgmt-vdom VDOM. For example, the following configuration is now supported:

config ips global

config tls-active-probe

set interface-select-method specify

set interface "mgmt1"

set vdom "mgmt-vdom"

end

733261

Resolved an issue that caused SNMP queries to return empty values for some FPCs or FPMs.

744204

When consolidated firewall mode is enabled, policy statistics such as the number of active sessions, packets, bytes, and so on are now available from the management board or primary FIM. The management board GUI and primary FIM GUI can now successfully display policy statistics and REST API calls and SNMP queries to the management board or primary FIM for policy statistics work as expected. For information about consolidated firewall mode, see Combined IPv4 and IPv6 policy.

744344
