Mixed state
Although running mixed firmware versions on the managed firewalls are supported, the central management capabilities are reduced until all firewalls and the central database are successfully upgraded to the next major version. Here is a summary of what's supported and not supported when in the mixed state:
|
Supported |
Not Supported |
|---|---|
|
Installing a policy When installing a lower version of the Policy Package (5.4) to a higher version of FortiOS (5.6), an upgrade code is applied during the copy operation inside FortiManager to convert the lower version to higher version. This is similar to the process that happens when upgrading a FortiGate itself. |
Importing a policy You cannot import a policy from Device Manager to Policy Manager when the device version is higher than the policy manager version. |
