NP6 offloading of ingress traffic shaping is not supported. This information has been added to NP6 session fast path requirements.

New option added to FortiOS 7.2.8 to configure how NP7 processors respond to SCTP checksum errors, see config fp-anomaly.

config system npu

config np-anomaly

set sctp-csum-err {allow | drop | trap-to-host}

end

The information in Configuring NP7 processors now just describes config system npu options for FortiGates with NP7 processors that are not licensed for hyperscale firewall. For information about the options of this command available on FortiGates with NP7 processors licensed for hyperscale firewall, see Configuring NP7 processors.

New section: FortiGate 900G and 901G fast path architecture.

NP7 offloading of ingress traffic shaping is not supported. This information has been added to NP7 session fast path requirements.

NP7 offloading of GRE over a loopback interface is not supported, see NP7 session fast path requirements, Tunneling protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors, and Protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors.

Updated Software switch interfaces and NP processors to explain that NP processors support offloading software switch traffic if inter-switch-policy is set to explicit and you have created firewall policies to allow traffic between interfaces in the software switch.

FortiOS 7.2.8 document release.

Corrections to hash-config {src-dst-ip | 5-tuple | src-ip}.

FortiOS 7.2.7 document release.

Updated NP7 session fast path requirements to include GRE.

New sections:

• FortiGate 3700F and 3701F fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 4800F and 4801F fast path architecture.

New section: FortiGate 40F fast path architecture.

Changes to NTurbo offloads flow-based processing.

New section: Performance reduction for NP6 processors with 1Gbps interfaces.

Changes to:

• diagnose sys session list and no_ofld_reason field (NP7 session information).

• NP7 traffic shaping.

• qtm-buf-mode {6ch | 4ch}.

Changes to the following sections:

• NP7 access control lists (ACLs).

• NP6 access control lists (ACLs).

New sections:

• FortiGate 1000F and 1001F fast path architecture.

• FortiGate Rugged 60F fast path architecture.

• FortiGate Rugged 70F fast path architecture.

Changes to most FortiGate fast path architecture descriptions.

FortiOS 7.2.6 document release.

Updates to NP7 performance optimized over KR links.

Changes to the following sections to correct information related to the SOC4:

• NP6XLite processors.

• FortiGate 60F and 61F fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 70F and 71F fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 80F, 81F, and 80F Bypass fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 100F and 101F fast path architecture.

Corrections to FortiGate NP7 architecture interface speeds, see FortiGate NP7 architectures.

Changes to FortiGate 3960E fast path architecture and FortiGate 3980E fast path architecture to explain that in multi-ISF systems, such as the FortiGate 3860E and FortiGate 3890E, NP6 offloading is not supported for LAGs containing interfaces connected to different ISF switches.

Corrected the section CP9 capabilities because FortiOS uses OpenSSL 3.0.x, which doesn't support the CP9 for SSL/TLS encryption and decryption.

Added information about NP6 and NP7 support for IPv6 SD-WAN segmentation over single relay sessions that include an IPsec VPN phase 1 configuration that enables VPN ID with IPIP encapsulation. See NP7 session fast path requirements and NP6 session fast path requirements.

Misc. changes throughout the document.

FortiOS 7.2.5 document release.

Corrections to NTurbo and IPSA.

Virtual network enabler (VNE) tunnel sessions are not offloaded by NP6 or NP6Lite (SOC3) processors. VNE tunnel sessions are offloaded by NP6XLite processors. Added a note about this to NP6 session fast path requirements.

Added all relevant options and corrected the information about the NP7 hash-config option, see hash-config {src-dst-ip | 5-tuple | src-ip}. Added a note about setting the hash-config for the FortiGate-3500F and 3501F to FortiGate 3500F and 3501F fast path architecture.

Deleted an incorrect statement about NP7 support for SSL VPN encryption from Network processors (NP7, NP6, NP6XLite, and NP6Lite).

The dedicated management CPU feature is supported by the FortiGates with the NP6XLite (SOC4) processor. This information has been added to Improving GUI and CLI responsiveness (dedicated management CPU).

FortiOS 7.2.4 document release.

Corrected information about NTurbo support and interface policies, see NTurbo offloads flow-based processing.

Corrected the documented default values for many of the individual traffic types monitored by NP7 HPE, see NP7 HPE for individual traffic types.

New section: Tunneling protocols that can be offloaded by NP7 processors.

FortiOS 7.2.3 document release.

FortiOS 7.0.0 added support for creating LAGs between interfaces connected to different NP6 processors for FortiGates with multiple NP6 processors and no internal switch fabric. For more information, see Increasing NP6 offloading capacity using link aggregation groups (LAGs).

The following FortiGate models support this feature and the sections linked below have been updated with this information:

• FortiGate 200E and 201E fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 900D fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 1000D fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 2000E fast path architecture.

• FortiGate 2500E fast path architecture.

Removed the section "Viewing SSL acceleration status" because the get vpn status ssl hw-acceleration-status command has been removed. The command has been removed because FortiOS 7.2.2 uses OpenSSL 3.0.x, which doesn't support the CP9 functionality used by this command. Removed information about the FortiGate-1200D because this model is not supported by FortiOS 7.2.2.
