Known issues

Known issues

The following known issues have been identified with FortiOS 7.2.8. 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.

  • When LAN segments are enabled on the FS-108E, FS-108E-POE, FS-108E-FPOE, FS-108F, FS-108F-POE, FS-108F-FPOE, FS-124E, FS-124E-POE, FS-124E-FPOE, FS-148E, FS-148E-POE, FS-148F, FS-148F-POE, FS-148F-FPOE, FS-124F, FS-124F-POE, and FS-124F-FPOE models, the internal VLAN (set lan-internal-vlan) is assigned automatically by default. If the same VLAN is configured on the FortiGate device, the configuration fails when it is pushed to the FortiSwitch unit without any warning message. WORKAROUND: Use a custom command.

  • All sub-VLANs must belong to the same MSTP instance if the FortiLink configuration includes the FS-108E, FS-108E-POE, FS-108E-FPOE, FS-108F, FS-108F-POE, FS-108F-FPOE, FS-124E, FS-124E-POE, FS-124E-FPOE, FS-148E, FS-148E-POE, FS-148F, FS-148F-POE, FS-148F-FPOE, FS-124F, FS-124F-POE, and FS-124F-FPOE models.

After CAPWAP offload is enabled or disabled, FortiLink goes down.

925554

The FG-60F GUI incorrectly shows the VLAN interfaces of hardware switches and software switches as down.

941691

A FortiSwitch unit managed by FG-2600 detects multiple MAC addresses for the same IP address.

947351

The FortiSwitch topology is not displayed correctly in the FortiOS GUI.

951721

The FortiOS GUI shows the incorrect port status for managed FortiSwitch units.

Workaround: Use the CLI to check the port status.

961142

An interface flaps when managed switches are in a multi-chassis link aggregation group (MCLAG) with a direct attach copper (DA) cable connected to the OPSFPP-T-05-PEB transceiver.

961992

The limitation of the buffer and description queue size of FS-6xxF switch ports can affect the performance.

1000663

The configurations of managed-switch ports are being removed after the switch is restarted. This issue only affects user-created trunks.
