Known issues

The following known issues have been identified with FortiOS 7.0.6. For inquiries about a particular bug or to report a bug, please contact Fortinet Customer Service & Support.

Bug ID Description
298348, 298994 Enabling the hw-switch-ether-filter command on the FG-92D model (the default setting) causes FortiSwitch devices to not be discovered.
520954 When a “FortiLink mode over a layer-3 network” topology has been configured, the FortiGate GUI does not always display the complete network.
527695 Starting in FortiOS 6.4.0, VLAN optimization is enabled by default (set vlan-optimization enable under config switch-controller global). On a network running FortiSwitchOS earlier than 6.0.0, this change results in a synchronization error, but the network still functions normally. If you have FortiSwitchOS 6.0.x, you can upgrade to remove the synchronization error or disable VLAN optimization.

On a network with set allowed-vlans-all enable configured (under config switch-controller vlan-policy), the setting reverts to the default, which is disabled, when upgrading to FortiOS 6.4.0. If you want to maintain the allowed-vlans-all behavior, you can restore it after the upgrade.
586801 NetBIOS stops working when proxy ARP is configured and the access VLAN is enabled because FortiGate units do not support NetBIOS proxy.
621785 user.nac-policy[].switch-scope might contain a data reference to switch-controller.managed-switch. When this reference is set by an admin, the admin needs to remove this reference before deleting the managed-switch.

777145

The WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed FortiSwitches page incorrectly shows a warning about an unregistered FortiSwitch unit, even though it is registered. This only impacts transferred or RMAed FortiSwitch units. This is only a display issue with no impact on the FortiSwitch unit's operation.

Workaround: Confirm the FortiSwitch registration status in the FortiCare portal.
