Overview

Important

  • 9.1.0+ uses a new GUI format. FortiNAC cannot go backwards to a previous version. Snapshots should always be taken on virtual appliances prior to upgrade.

  • Prior to upgrade, review the FortiNAC Known Anomalies posted in the Fortinet Document Library.
  • If using agents or configured for High Availability, additional steps may be required after upgrade for proper functionality. See Upgrade Instructions and Considerations posted in the Fortinet Document Library.
  • Requires CentOS 7.4 or higher. The current CentOS version installed is listed as "Distribution" in the CLI login banner or typing "sysinfo".
    Example:
    > sysinfo
    ************************************************************************
    Recognized platform: Linux
    Distribution: CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

    If the CentOS version is below 7.4, run OS updates and reboot before upgrading. For instructions on updating CentOS, refer to the Fortinet Document Library.

Version Information

These Release Notes contain additional Enhancements, Device Support, and features. Unique numbering is used for the various components of the product. The software version and Agent version supplied with this release are listed below.

Version: 9.2.7

Agent Version: 5.3.0.77

A newer Persistent Agent may be required to support certain antivirus and anti-spyware products. Refer to the Agent Release Notes in the Fortinet Document Library.

Firmware version represents a collection of system services and operating system features imaged on to the appliance before it leaves manufacturing. The firmware image cannot be updated by a Fortinet customer. Services within the image are updated by Fortinet or a certified Fortinet Partner in appliance maintenance packages released as new more robust and secure versions of services become available.

Note that upgrading software versions does not change firmware nor does it automatically require an upgrade to the Persistent Agent. Newer Persistent Agents are not compatible with older software versions unless that capability is specifically highlighted in the corresponding release notes.
