601442

Resolved an issue that blocked local-out pings from the FortiGate-6000 management board through a transparent mode VDOM, when the option dp-icmp-distribution-method is changed from the default setting (the default setting is to-master).

616261 737750

Resolved an issue that caused the wad application to crash with a signal 11.

635310

VLAN interfaces added to accelerated npu_vdom link interfaces can now successfully pass traffic.

690662 The diagnose hardware deviceinfo nic <interface> command output now includes CRC counters.

693325

The slbc-mgmt-intf option is set to 1-mgmt1 by default and this setting is now visible from the default configuration.

723528

The Sessions: Management widget now shows the correct % distribution of CPU and SPU sessions.

725139

Resolved an issue that could sometimes prevent administrators from removing quarantined IP addresses from the Quarantine Monitor.

728524

The diagnose test application chlbd 3 command now works as expected to recover the FIB form a sync failed state.

729134

Resolved an issue that could prevent OSPF from re-negotiating successfully after an FGCP HA failover.

732017

Resolved an issue that could cause OSPF adjacencies to fail after an FGCP HA failover even though the FortiGate configuration enables OSPF graceful restart.

732071

Resolved a timing issue that could cause an FPC or FPM to become unresponsive for an extended period of time after a firmware upgrade when the configuration includes a large number of UTM profile groups.

733058

IPS TLS probe requests can now be configured from the mgmt-vdom VDOM. For example, the following configuration is now supported:

config ips global

config tls-active-probe

set interface-select-method specify

set interface "mgmt1"

set vdom "mgmt-vdom"

end

733261

Resolved an issue that caused SNMP queries to return empty values for some FPCs or FPMs.

744204

When consolidated firewall mode is enabled, policy statistics such as the number of active sessions, packets, bytes, and so on are now available from the management board or primary FIM. The management board GUI and primary FIM GUI can now successfully display policy statistics and REST API calls and SNMP queries to the management board or primary FIM for policy statistics work as expected. For information about consolidated firewall mode, see Combined IPv4 and IPv6 policy.

744344

FortiGate-6000 and 7000 mirroring SSL inspected traffic (also called SSL port mirroring) now works as expected.

744596 Resolved an issue that could prevent RADIUS users from having to re-authenticate after the RADIUS server session timeout.
744636 Resolved an issue that could prevent FortiGate-6000 or 7000 FGCP clusters from synchronizing files received from FortiGuard after the cluster has been operating for 497 days.
744944 Resolved an issue that could cause a FortiGate-6000 or 7000 to take too long to synchronize a very large configuration the configuration after the system starts up. After this fix, very large configurations should normally take no longer than approximately 30 minutes to synchronize.

758445 Increase the FortiGate-7000F boot partition size. This change allows the FortiGate-7000F to support larger more complex configurations that include more VDOMs and firewall policies. Because of this change, the process of upgrading to 6.2.9 Build 1206 will take longer than normal and during this time the FortiGate-7000F will not be able to process traffic.
