Known issues

Known issues

The following issues have been identified in version 7.0.13. To inquire about a particular bug or report a bug, please contact Customer Service & Support.

Explicit Proxy

Bug ID

Description

942612

Web proxy forward server does not convert HTTP version to the original version when sending them back to the client.

Firewall

Bug ID

Description

843554

If the first firewall service object in the service list (based on the order in the command line table) has a protocol type of IP, the GUI may incorrectly modify its protocol number whenever a new firewall service of the same protocol type IP is created in the GUI.

This silent misconfiguration can result in unexpected behavior of firewall policies that use the impacted service. For example, some 6K and 7K platforms have firewall service ALL (protocol type IP) as the first service, and this can cause the ALL service to be modified unexpectedly.

Workaround: create a new service in the CLI, or move a non-IP type services to the top of the firewall service list. For example, if ALL is the first firewall service in the list:

config firewall service custom
    edit "unused"
        set tcp-portrange 1
    next
    move "unused" before "ALL"
end

912740

On a FortiGate managed by FortiManager, after upgrading to 7.0.13, the Firewall Policy list may show separate sequence grouping for each policy because the global-label is updated to be unique for each policy.

Workaround: drag and drop the policy to the correct sequence group in the GUI, or remove the global-label for each member policy in the group except for the leading policy.

  • Policy 1 (global-label "group1")
  • Policy 2
  • Policy 3 (global-label "group2")
  • Policy 4

951984

For local out DNAT traffic, the best output route may not be found.

FortiView

Bug ID

Description

941521

On the Dashboard > FortiView Websites page, the Category filter does not work in the Japanese GUI.

GUI

Bug ID

Description

440197

On the System > FortiGuard page, the override FortiGuard server for AntiVirus & IPS Updates shows an Unknown status, even if the server is working correctly. This is a display issue only; the override feature is working properly.

677806

On the Network > Interfaces page when VDOM mode is enabled, the Global view incorrectly shows the status of IPsec tunnel interfaces from non-management VDOMs as up. The VDOM view shows the correct status.

685431

On the Policy & Objects > Firewall Policy page, the policy list can take around 30 seconds or more to load when there is a large number (over 20 thousand) of policies.

Workaround: use the CLI to configure policies.

707589

System > Certificates list sometimes shows an incorrect reference count for a certificate, and incorrectly allows a user to delete a referenced certificate. The deletion will fail even though a success message is shown. Users should be able to delete the certificate after all references are removed.

708005

When using the SSL VPN web portal in the Firefox, users cannot paste text into the SSH terminal emulator.

Workaround: use Chrome, Edge, or Safari as the browser.

755177

When upgrading firmware from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2, the GUI incorrectly displays a warning saying this is not a valid upgrade path.

810225

An undefined error is displayed when changing an administrator password for the first time. Affected models: NP7 platforms.

848660

Read-only administrator may encounter a Maximum number of monitored interfaces reached error when viewing an interface bandwidth widget for an interface that does not have the monitor bandwidth feature enabled.

Workaround: super_admin users can enable the monitor bandwidth feature on the interface first, then the widget can work for read-only administrators.

853352

When viewing entries in the slide-out window of the Policy & Objects > Internet Service Database page, users cannot scroll down to the end if there are over 100000 entries.

881678

On the Network > Routing Objects page, editing a prefix list with a large number of rule entries fails with an error notification that The integer value is not within valid range.

Workaround: edit a prefix list with a large number of rule entries in the CLI.

898902

In the System > Administrators dialog, when there are a lot of VDOMs (over 200), the dialog can take more than one minute to load the Two-factor Authentication toggle. This issue does not affect configuring other settings in the dialog.

Workaround: use the CLI to configure two-factor-authentication under config system admin.

974988

FortiGate GUI should not show a license expired notification due to an expired device-level FortiManager Cloud license if it still has a valid account-level FortiManager Cloud license (function is not affected).

843197

Output of diagnose sys npu-session list/list-full does not mention policy route information.

843266

Diagnose command should be available to show hit_count/last_used for policy route and NPU session on hyperscale VDOM.

Get PARSE SKIP ERROR=17 NPD ERR PBR ADDRESS console error log when system boots up.

844421

The diagnose firewall ippool list command does not show the correct output for overload type IP pools.

846520

Console may display mce: [Hardware Error] error message after fresh image burn or reboot.

861962

When configuring an 802.3ad aggregate interface with a 1 Gbps speed, the port's LED is off and traffic cannot pass through. Affected platforms: 110xE, 220xE, 330xE, 340xE, and 360xE.

882187

FortiGate might enter conserve mode if disk logging is enabled and log-traffic all is set in a policy.

Upgrade

Bug ID

Description

925567

When upgrading multiple firmware versions in the GUI, the Follow upgrade path option does not respect the recommended upgrade path.

VM

Bug ID

Description

800935

ESXi VLAN interface based on LACP does not work.

Web Filter

Bug ID

Description

766126

Block replacement page is not pushed automatically to replace the video content when using a video filter.

WiFi Controller

Bug ID

Description

814541

When there are extra large number of managed FortiAP devices (over 500) and large number of WiFi clients (over 5000), the Managed FortiAPs page and FortiAP Status widget can take a long time to load. This issue does not impact FortiAP operation.

903922

Physical and logical topology is slow to load when there are a lot of managed FortiAP devices (over 50). This issue does not impact FortiAP management and operation.

1004338

After an upgrade or reboot on the NP7 platform, WiFi data cannot pass through when the SSID VLAN interface uses the DHCP Relay Server.

ZTNA

Bug ID

Description

819987

SMB drive mapping made through a ZTNA access proxy is inaccessible after rebooting.

848222

ZTNA TCP forwarding is not working when a real server is configured with an FQDN address type.

An FQDN address type that can resolve public IPs is not recommended for ZTNA TCP forwarding on real servers because the defined internal DNS database zone is trying to override it at the same time. By doing so, the internal private address may not take effect after rebooting, and causes a ZTNA TCP forwarding failure due to the real server not being found.
