What’s new in FortiSwitchOS 7.4.2

What’s new in FortiSwitchOS 7.4.2

Release 7.4.2 provides the following new features:

  • You can now bind 240 MAC addresses to VLANs for the FS-624F and FS-624F-FPOE models. You can now bind 480 MAC addresses to VLANs for the FS-648F and FS-648F-FPOE models.

  • The FS-424E, FS-424E-POE, FS-424E-FPOE, FS-424E-Fiber, FSR-424F-POE, FS-M426E-FPOE, FS-448E, FS-448E-FPOE, and FS-448E-POE models now support equal cost multi-path (ECMP) routing.

  • The FS-2048F model now supports Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) interfaces.

  • You can now split ports 25 and 26 of the FS-T1024E and FS-1024E models into four subports of 10G (as well as 25G).

  • The link monitor configuration in the GUI and CLI has changed:

    • You must now set the server IP address when you create a link monitor. This option supports remote peer monitoring.

    • Ping is now the default protocol when using IPv4 addresses, instead of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

    • The gateway IP address (IPv4 and IPv6) is no longer mandatory.

  • You can now assign a priority to each VLAN. If there is more than one VLAN with the same name (specified in the set description command), FortiSwitchOS selects the VLAN with the lowest assignment-priority value (which is the highest priority) of the VLANs with names (specified in the set description command) that match the value of the RADIUS Egress-VLAN-Name attribute. The assignment-priority value can be 1-255. By default, the assignment-priority is 128. The lowest assignment-priority value gets the highest priority.

  • The time zone is now reported in the FortiSwitchOS local log and syslog entries.

  • You can use the new Router > Config > Key Chains page to create, edit, or delete key chains in the GUI. Key chains are used for MD5 authentication for Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Intermediate System to Intermediate System Protocol (IS-IS) routing.

  • The FS-624F, FS-624F-FPOE, FS-648F, and FS-648F-FPOE models now support FG-TRAN-LX, FG-TRAN-GC, FG-TRAN-SX, FS-TRAN-GC, FR-TRAN-ZX, FR-TRAN-SX, FN-TRAN-GC, FN-TRAN-SX, FN-TRAN-LX, and FN-TRAN-DSL.
