This guide provides release information for FortiOS 7.2.11 build 1740.
For FortiOS documentation, see the Fortinet Document Library.
Supported models
The following models are released on a special branch of FortiOS 7.2.11. To confirm that you are running the correct
build, run the CLI command get system status and check that the Branch point field shows 1740.
FortiOS 7.2.11 supports the following FG-6000F, FG-7000E, and FG-7000F models:
In FortiOS 7.2.0 and later, the IPsec phase 1 interface type cannot be changed after it is configured. This is due to the
tunnel ID parameter (tun_id), which is used to match routes to IPsec tunnels to forward traffic. If the IPsec phase 1
interface type needs to be changed, a new interface must be configured.
See the following links for information about FortiGate 6000 and 7000 limitations and incompatibilities with FortiOS
7.2.11 features.
l FortiGate 6000 incompatibilities and limitations
l FortiGate 7000E incompatibilities and limitations
l FortiGate 7000F incompatibilities and limitations
See Hyperscale firewall incompatibilities and limitations in the Hyperscale Firewall Guide for a list of limitations and
incompatibilities with FortiOS 7.2.11 features.
In FortiOS 7.2.5 and later, SMB drive mapping on a Windows PC made through a ZTNA access proxy becomes
inaccessible after the PC reboots when access proxy with TCP forwarding is configured as FQDN. When configured with
In FortiOS 7.2.5 and later, FortiGate 400F and 401F units with BIOS version 06000100 show an error message in the
console when booting up.
The message, Write I2C bus:3 addr:0xe2 reg:0x00 data:0x00 ret:-121., is shown in the console, and
the FortiGate is unable to get transceiver information.
The issue is fixed in BIOS version 06000101.
Because of an NP7 hardware limitation, for CGN traffic accepted by a hyperscale firewall policy that includes an
overload with port block allocation (overload PBA) IP Pool, only one block is allocated per client. The setting of the
hyperscale firewall policy cgn-resource-quota option is ignored.
Because of this limitation, under certain rare conditions (for example, only a single server side IP address and port are
being used for a large number of sessions), port allocation may fail even if the block usage of the client is less than its
quota. In cases such as this, if the client has traffic towards some other servers or ports, additional port allocation can
become successful. You can also work around this problem by increasing the IP Pool block size (cgn-block-size).
The following known issues for the Queuing based Traffic Management (QTM) module on NP7 are fixed:
l Incorrect checksum for fragments after QTM.
l Packets longer than 6000 bytes cause QTM to hang.
l Refreshing causes QTM to hang.
l MTU is not honored after QTM, so the packet is not fragmented.
As a result of these changes, you can no longer use the following command to change QoS type used for traffic shaping
for sessions offloaded to NP7 processors:
config system npu
set default-qos-type {policing | shaping}
end
For NP7 sessions, policy traffic shaping, per-IP shaping, and regular port shaping (outbandwidth enabled on an interface
without a shaping profile) always use the NP7 accounting and traffic shaping module (called the TPE module). This is the
same as changing the default-qos-type to policing.
For NP7 sessions, shaping profiles on interfaces now only use QTM for traffic shaping (equivalent to setting default-
qos-type to shaping). Shaping profiles on interfaces are also called Multiclass shaping (MCS). The interface can be a
physical interface, LAG interface, and VLAN interface (over physical or LAG). The FortiGate supports shaping profiles
on a maximum of 100 interfaces.
Bug ID Description
1063233 The BIOS security level is updated from levels 0/1/2 to levels Low and High. Level High will
correspond to previous behaviors in level 2, and level Low will correspond to behaviors in level 1.
BIOS that still uses levels 0 will now behave like level 1/Low.
Feature ID Description
1061119 This enhancement reduces ipshelper CPU usage during the database update process, optimizing
system performance and ensuring smoother operations.
Supported upgrade path information is available on the Fortinet Customer Service & Support site.
Multiple upgrade methods are available for individual FortiGate devices and multiple FortiGate devices in a Fortinet
Security Fabric:

5. Click Go.
FortiOS 7.2.11 greatly increases the interoperability between other Fortinet products. This includes:
FortiAnalyzer l 7.2.10
FortiManager l 7.2.10
*
If you are using FortiClient only for IPsec VPN or SSL VPN, FortiClient version 6.0 and later are supported.
When upgrading your Security Fabric, devices that manage other devices should be upgraded first.
When using FortiClient with FortiAnalyzer, you should upgrade both to their latest versions.
The versions between the two products should match. For example, if using FortiAnalyzer
7.2.0, use FortiClient 7.2.0.
Upgrade the firmware of each device in the following order. This maintains network connectivity without the need to use
manual steps.
1. FortiAnalyzer
2. FortiManager
3. FortiGate devices
4. Managed FortiExtender devices
5. Managed FortiSwitch devices
6. Managed FortiAP devices
7. FortiClient EMS
8. FortiClient
9. FortiSandbox
10. FortiMail
11. FortiWeb
12. FortiNAC
13. FortiVoice
14. FortiDeceptor
15. FortiAI
16. FortiTester
17. FortiMonitor
18. FortiPolicy
If Security Fabric is enabled, then all FortiGate devices must be upgraded to 7.2.11. When
Security Fabric is enabled in FortiOS 7.2.11, all FortiGate devices must be running FortiOS
7.2.11.
Downgrading to previous firmware versions results in configuration loss on all models. Only the following settings are
retained:
l operation mode
l interface IP/management IP
l static route table
l DNS settings
l admin user account
l session helpers
l system access profiles
The MD5 checksums for all Fortinet software and firmware releases are available at the Customer Service & Support
portal, https://support.fortinet.com. After logging in, go to Support > Firmware Image Checksums (in the Downloads
section), enter the image file name including the extension, and click Get Checksum Code.
FortiOS 7.0.0 has removed 3DES and SHA1 from the list of strong cryptographic ciphers. To satisfy the cipher
requirement, current FortiAP models whose names end with letter E or F should be upgraded to the following firmware
versions:
l FortiAP (F models): version 6.4.3 and later
l FortiAP-S and FortiAP-W2 (E models): version 6.2.4, 6.4.1, and later
l FortiAP-U (EV and F models): version 6.0.3 and later
l FortiAP-C (FAP-C24JE): version 5.4.3 and later
If FortiGates running FortiOS 7.0.1 and later need to manage FortiAP models that cannot be upgraded or legacy FortiAP
models whose names end with the letters B, C, CR, or D, administrators can allow those FortiAPs' connections with
weak cipher encryption by using compatibility mode:
FortiGate VMs with one VDOM license (S-series, V-series, FortiFlex) have a maximum number or two VDOMs. An
administrative type root VDOM and another traffic type VDOM are allowed in 7.2.0 and later. After upgrading to 7.2.0 and
later, if the VM previously had split-task VDOMs enabled, two VDOMs are kept (the root VDOM is an administrative
type).
Affected versions:
l FortiOS 6.4.9 and later
l FortiOS 7.0.6 and later
l FortiOS 7.2.0 and later
When upgrading to one of the affected versions, there is a check within the set vdom-links function that rejects vdom-
links that have the same name as a VDOM. Without the check, the FortiGate will have a kernel panic upon bootup
during the upgrade step.
A workaround is to rename the vdom-links prior to upgrading, so that they are different from the VDOMs.
Upgrade FortiGate 6000 firmware from the management board GUI or CLI. Upgrade FortiGate 7000 firmware from the
primary FIM GUI or CLI. The FortiGate 6000 management board and FPCs or the FortiGate 7000 FIMs and FPMs all run
the same firmware image. Upgrading the firmware copies the firmware image to all components, which then install the
new firmware and restart. A FortiGate 6000 or 7000 firmware upgrade can take a few minutes, the amount of time
depending on the hardware and software configuration and whether DP or NP7 processor software is also upgraded.
On a standalone FortiGate 6000 or 7000, or an HA cluster with uninterruptible-upgrade disabled, the firmware
upgrade interrupts traffic because all components upgrade in one step. These firmware upgrades should be done during
a quiet time because traffic can be interrupted for a few minutes during the upgrade process.
Fortinet recommends running a graceful firmware upgrade of a FortiGate 6000 or 7000 FGCP HA cluster by enabling
uninterruptible-upgrade and session-pickup. A graceful firmware upgrade only causes minimal traffic
interruption.
Fortinet recommends that you review the services provided by your FortiGate 6000 or 7000
before a firmware upgrade and then again after the upgrade to make sure that these services
continue to operate normally. For example, you might want to verify that you can successfully
access an important server used by your organization before the upgrade and make sure that
you can still reach the server after the upgrade and performance is comparable. You can also
take a snapshot of key performance indicators (for example, number of sessions, CPU usage,
and memory usage) before the upgrade and verify that you see comparable performance after
the upgrade.
2. Download the FortiOS 7.2.11 FG-6000F, FG-7000E, or FG-7000F firmware from https://support.fortinet.com.
3. Perform a normal upgrade of your HA cluster using the downloaded firmware image file.
4. When the upgrade is complete, verify that you have installed the correct firmware version.
For example, check the FortiGate dashboard or use the get system status command.
5. Check the Cluster Status dashboard widget or use the diagnose sys confsync status command to confirm
that all components are synchronized and operating normally.
After upgrading to FortiOS version 7.2.9, FortiGate platforms with ultra-low-latency (ULL) ports like 600F and 901G
models may experience link status down on active ULL ports if the following conditions are met:
l The ULL port is set to 25G mode
l Forward error correcting (FEC) is enabled on the port
l Forward error correcting (FEC) is disabled on the connecting switch
This behaviour change is due to a fix in FortiOS 7.2.9 version for an issue where FEC feature was disabled even though
it was enabled in the CLI. This allowed the FortiGate ULL port to still connect to the switch with FEC disabled. After the
fix, FEC is activated on the ForitGate and caused a mismatch with the switch.
Workaround: User can disable FEC feature on the FortiGate ULL port to match with the connecting switch, or they can
enable FEC feature on the switch to match with the FortiGate side.
config system interface
edit <ULL port>
set forward-error-correction disable
next
end
For FG-5001E in a session-aware load balanced cluster (SLBC), all secondary blades install the image successfully.
However, the primary blade fails, showing a sync timeout error, even with graceful-upgrade disabled.

This is a GUI display issue as the actual RADIUS connection does send the message-
authentication attribute.
Bug ID Description
1080234 For FortiGate (versions 7.2.10 and 7.4.5 and later) and FortiNAC (versions 9.2.8 and 9.4.6 and
prior) integration, when testing connectivity/user credentials against FortiNAC that acts as a
RADIUS server, the FortiGate GUI and CLI returns an invalid secret for the server error.
This error is expected when the FortiGate acts as the direct RADIUS client to the FortiNAC RADIUS
server due to a change in how FortiGate handles RADIUS protocol in these versions. However, the
end-to-end integration for the clients behind the FortiGate and FortiNAC is not impacted.

951135 Graceful upgrade of a FortiGate 6000 or 7000 FGCP HA cluster is not supported when upgrading
from FortiOS 7.0.12 to 7.2.6.
Upgrading the firmware of a FortiGate 6000 or 7000 FGCP HA cluster from 7.0.12 to 7.2.6 should
be done during a maintenance window, since the firmware upgrade process will disrupt traffic for up
to 30 minutes.
Before upgrading the firmware, disable uninterruptible-upgrade, then perform a normal
firmware upgrade. During the upgrade process the FortiGates in the cluster will not allow traffic until
all components (management board and FPCs or FIMs and FPMs) are upgraded and both
FortiGates have restarted. This process can take up to 30 minutes.
951193 SLBC for FortiOS 7.0 and 7.2 uses different FGCP HA heartbeat formats. Because of the different
heartbeat formats, you cannot create an FGCP HA cluster of two FortiGate 6000s or 7000s when
one chassis is running FortiOS 7.0.x and the other is running FortiOS 7.2.x. Instead, to form an
FGCP HA cluster, both chassis must be running FortiOS 7.0.x or 7.2.x.
If two chassis are running different patch releases of FortiOS 7.0 or 7.2 (for example, one chassis is
running 7.2.5 and the other 7.2.6), they can form a cluster. When the cluster is formed, FGCP elects
one chassis to be the primary chassis. The primary chassis synchronizes its firmware to the
secondary chassis. As a result, both chassis will be running the same firmware version.
You can also form a cluster if one chassis is running FortiOS 7.2.x and the other is running 7.4.x.
For best results, both chassis should be running the same firmware version, although as described
above, this is not a requirement.
954881 Image synchronization failure happened after a factory reset on FortiGate 7000E/F .
994241 On FortiGate 7000F using FGSP and FGCP, when TCP traffic takes an asymmetric path, the TCP
ACK and data packets might be dropped in NP7.
1056894 On the FortiGate 6000 platform, IPv6 VRF routing tables appear under the new and old FPC
primary units when the primary FPC slot is changed.
1070365 FGCP HA session synchronization may stop working as expected on a FortiGate 7000F cluster
managed by FortiManager. This happens if the HA configuration uses management interfaces as
session synchronization interfaces by configuring the session-sync-dev option, for example:
config system ha
set session-sync-dev 1-M1 1-M2
end
Bug ID Description
The problem occurs when FortiManager updates the configuration of the FortiGate 7000F devices
in the cluster it incorrectly changes to the VDOM of the management interfaces added to the
session-sync-dev command from mgmt-vdom to vsys_ha and the interfaces stop working as
session sync interfaces.
You can work around the problem by manually changing the vdom of the management interfaces
added to session-sync-dev to mgmt-vdom and then retrieving the FortiGate configuration from
FortiManager.
config system interface
edit 1-M1
set vdom mgmt-vdom

Profiles > Intrusion Prevention page are not saved.
1055197 On FortiGate G series models with dual WAN links, the Interface Bandwidth widget may show an
incorrect incoming and outgoing bandwidth count where the actual traffic does not match the
display numbers.
HA
Bug ID Description
781171 When performing HA upgrade in the GUI, if the secondary unit takes several minutes to bootup, the
GUI may show a misleading error message Image upgrade failed due to premature timeout.
This is just a GUI display issue and the HA upgrade can still complete without issue.
Bug ID Description
970316 When adding a new vcluster, the link-failure value of the newly added vcluster is not updated,
causing the wrong primary unit to be selected.
988944 On the Fabric Management page, the HA Secondary lists both primary and secondary FortiGate
units.
1072440 Special branch supported models of FortiGate in an HA cluster with an empty HA password,
upgrading from a special build GA version (version 7.0.x) to version 7.2.9 and version 7.2.10 GA
can cause one of the members to not upgrade.
Impacted models: Please see a full list of Special branch supported models for FortiOS version
7.0.15.

Bug ID Description
903922 Security Fabric physical and logical topology is slow to load when there are a lot of downstream
devices, including FortiGates, FortiSwitches, FortiAPs, and endpoint device traffic. This is a GUI
only display issue and does not impact operations of downstream devices.
1011833 FortiGate experiences a CPU usage issue in the node process when there multiple administrator
sessions running simultaneously on the GUI in a Security Fabric with multiple downstream devices.
This may result in slow loading times for multiple GUI pages.
Workaround: disconnect the other concurrent administrator sessions to avoid overloading node
