What’s new in FortiOS 7.0.1
The following list contains new managed FortiSwitch features added in FortiOS 7.0.1.
- You can now use LAN segments when configuring FortiSwitch NAC settings to prevent hosts from having to renew IP addresses when moving to another VLAN.
- Use the new
diagnose switch-controller switch-info port-properties [<FortiSwitch_serial_number>] [<port_name>]command to check the port properties of managed FortiSwitch units. - You can now configure in FortiOS which DHCP servers that DHCP snooping includes in the server access list. These servers on the list are allowed to respond to DHCP requests.
- You can now change the order in which FortiSwitch units are displayed in the Topology view.
- You can now configure a dynamic firewall address for devices and use it in a NAC policy. When a device matches the NAC policy, the MAC address for that device is automatically assigned to the dynamic firewall address, which can be used in firewall policies to control traffic from/to these devices.
- Three SNMP OIDs have been added to the FortiOS enterprise MIB 2 tables in FortiOS 7.0.1. They report the FortiSwitch port status and FortiSwitch CPU and memory statistics.
