Special branch supported models

The following models are released on a special branch of FortiOS 6.2.2. To confirm that you are running the correct build, run the CLI command get system status and check that the Branch point field shows 1010.

FGR-90D is released on build 5335.

Special notices

  • Common vulnerabilities and exposures l New Fortinet cloud services l FortiGuard Security Rating Service l FortiGate hardware limitation l CAPWAP traffic offloading
  • FortiClient (Mac OS X) SSL VPN requirements l Use of dedicated management interfaces (mgmt1 and mgmt2) l NP4lite platforms l Tags option removed from GUI l Mobile token authentication

Common vulnerabilities and exposures

FortiOS 6.2.1 is no longer vulnerable to the issue described in the following link – https://fortiguard.com/psirt/FG-IR-19144.

New Fortinet cloud services

FortiOS 6.2.0 introduced several new cloud-based services listed below. The new services require updates to FortiCare and Fortinet’s FortinetOne single sign-on (SSO) service. These updates will be available by mid-Q2 2019.

  • Overlay Controller VPN
  • FortiGuard Cloud-Assist SD-WAN Interface Bandwidth Monitoring l FortiManager Cloud l FortiAnalyzer Cloud

FortiGuard Security Rating Service

Not all FortiGate models can support running the FortiGuard Security Rating Service as a Fabric “root” device. The following FortiGate platforms can run the FortiGuard Security Rating Service when added to an existing Fortinet Security Fabric managed by a supported FortiGate model: l FGR-30D l FGR-35D l FGT-30E l FGT-30E-MI

Special notices                                                                                                                                                          8

l FGT-30E-MN l FGT-50E l FGT-51E l FGT-52E l FWF-30E l FWF-30E-MI l FWF-30E-MN l FWF-50E l FWF-50E-2R l FWF-51E

FortiGate hardware limitation

FortiOS 5.4.0 reported an issue with the FG-92D model in the Special Notices > FG-92D High Availability in Interface Mode section of the release notes. Those issues, which were related to the use of port 1 through 14, include:

  • PPPoE failing, HA failing to form. l IPv6 packets being dropped. l FortiSwitch devices failing to be discovered. l Spanning tree loops may result depending on the network topology.

FG-92D does not support STP. These issues have been improved in FortiOS 5.4.1, but with some side effects with the introduction of a new command, which is enabled by default:

config global set hw-switch-ether-filter <enable | disable>

When the command is enabled:

  • ARP (0x0806), IPv4 (0x0800), and VLAN (0x8100) packets are allowed. l BPDUs are dropped and therefore no STP loop results. l PPPoE packets are dropped. l IPv6 packets are dropped. l FortiSwitch devices are not discovered. l HA may fail to form depending the network topology.

When the command is disabled:

  • All packet types are allowed, but depending on the network topology, an STP loop may result.

 

Special notices

CAPWAP traffic offloading

CAPWAP traffic will not offload if the ingress and egress traffic ports are on different NP6 chips. It will only offload if both ingress and egress ports belong to the same NP6 chip. The following models are affected: l FG-900D l FG-1000D l FG-2000E l FG-2500E

FortiClient (Mac OS X) SSL VPN requirements

When using SSL VPN on Mac OS X 10.8, you must enable SSLv3 in FortiOS.

Use of dedicated management interfaces (mgmt1 and mgmt2)

For optimum stability, use management ports (mgmt1 and mgmt2) for management traffic only. Do not use management ports for general user traffic.

NP4lite platforms

FortiOS 6.2 and later does not support NP4lite platforms.

Tags option removed from GUI

The Tags option is removed from the GUI. This includes the following:

l The System > Tags page is removed. l The Tags section is removed from all pages that had a Tags section. l The Tags column is removed from all column selections.

Mobile token authentication

Mobile token authentication does not work for SSL VPN on SOC3 platforms.

Affected models include FG-60E, FG-60E-POE, FG-61E, FG-80E, FG-80E-POE, FG-81E, FG-81E-POE, FG-100E, FG100EF, FG-101E, FG-140E, FWF-60E, FWF-61E.

Changes in default behavior

AntiVirus

l In previous releases, the scan mode controls which features are displayed based on their compatibility with proxy and flow’s [quick | full] mode (now [default | legacy]).

This release disregards this behavior, making antivirus profile scan-mode agnostic. This means that all AV options are displayed regardless of the AV profile’s scan-mode setting. Enforcement is handled by the kernel based on the firewall policy using AV. Unsupported AV features do not take effect if inspection mode is proxy or flow. l In this release, AntiVirus can do SSH inspection.

FOC

apn option under apn-shaper now accepts multiple apn or apngroup.

Previous releases 6.2.2 release
config gtp apn edit “apn1” set apn “internet”

next edit “apn2” set apn “intranet”

next

end

config gtp apngrp edit “apngrp1” set member “apn1”

next

end

config gtp apn-shaper edit 1 next end

config gtp apn edit “apn1” set apn “internet”

next edit “apn2” set apn “intranet”

next

end

config gtp apngrp edit “apngrp1” set member “apn1”

next

end

config gtp apn-shaper edit 1 set apn “apn2” “apngrp1” <==changed

next end

FortiSwitch Controller

  • FortiLink interface is on by default on FortiGate E series platform.
  • On FG-100E and higher, create an empty FortiLink aggregate interface (fortilink) by default. If aggregate interface is not supported, create a hardware switch interface instead.
  • For FortiGate models below FG-100E, create an empty FortiLink hardware switch interface (fortilink) by default. If hardware switch interface is not supported, create aggregate interface instead.
  • When the FortiLink interface is enabled, CLI displays an error message when trying to change the FortiGate to TP mode.

default behavior

Firewall

  • Only IP and Protocol are matched and source port is ignored when ISDB is applied as source in policy. l Internet-service-addition will overwrite default ports of internet-service ID if protocols are the same. l Firewall policy supports wildcard-fqdn object with FQDN type.
  • This release supports srcaddr/dstaddr/internet-service/internet-service-src negate in consolidated policy.
  • All attributes for FABRIC_DEVICE object, except for IP address and type, can be modified from CLI but not from GUI.

Log & Report

l In previous releases, FortiGate only sends event log to FAZ-Cloud. In this release, FortiGate sends both event log and UTM log to FAZ-Cloud.

Switch l Add VLAN switch feature to FG-300E and FG-301E.

System

  • API user must have at least one trust host IP Address. l Only show diagnose sys nmi-watchdog command on platforms that have “nmi” button.
  • With mgmt interface set to dedicated to management, added three kinds of cases. l When no trust host is set, all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses have access. l When only IPv4 addresses are set to trust host, IPv6 address cannot log in.
  • When only IPv6 addresses are set to trust host, IPv4 address cannot log in.
  • There is no mgmt option in GRE tunnel interface when it is set to dedicated to management. l Allow VDOM admin to create loopback interface if no physical interface in VDOM.
  • The trust-ip option in config system interface always override trusthost option in config system admin.

Device detection changes

In FortiOS 6.0.x, the device detection feature contains multiple sub-components, which are independent:

  • Visibility – Detected information is available for topology visibility and logging.
  • FortiClient endpoint compliance – Information learned from FortiClient can be used to enforce compliance of those endpoints.
  • Mac-address-based device policies – Detected devices can be defined as custom devices, and then used in devicebased policies.

In 6.2, these functionalities have changed:

  • Visibility – Configuration of the feature remains the same as FortiOS 6.0, including FortiClient information. l FortiClient endpoint compliance – A new fabric connector replaces this, and aligns it with all other endpoint connectors for dynamic policies. For more information, see Dynamic Policy FortiClient EMS (Connector) in the FortiOS 6.2.0 New Features Guide.
  • Mac-address-based policies – A new address type is introduced (Mac Address Range), which can be used in regular policies. The previous device policy feature can be achieved by manually defining MAC addresses, and then adding them to regular policy table in 6.2. For more information, see MAC Addressed-Based Policies in the FortiOS 6.2.0 New Features Guide.

If you were using device policies in 6.0.x, you will need to migrate these policies to the regular policy table manually after upgrade. After upgrading to 6.2.0:

  1. Create MAC-based firewall addresses for each device.
  2. Apply the addresses to regular IPv4 policy table.

 

FortiClient Endpoint Telemetry license

Starting with FortiOS 6.2.0, the FortiClient Endpoint Telemetry license is deprecated. The FortiClient Compliance profile under the Security Profiles menu has been removed as has the Enforce FortiClient Compliance Check option under each interface configuration page. Endpoints running FortiClient 6.2.0 now register only with FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and compliance is accomplished through the use of Compliance Verification Rules configured on FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and enforced through the use of firewall policies. As a result, there are two upgrade scenarios:

  • Customers using only a FortiGate device in FortiOS 6.0 to enforce compliance must install FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 and purchase a FortiClient Security Fabric Agent License for their FortiClient EMS installation.
  • Customers using both a FortiGate device in FortiOS 6.0 and FortiClient EMS running 6.0 for compliance enforcement, must upgrade the FortiGate device to FortiOS 6.2.0, FortiClient to 6.2.0, and FortiClient EMS to 6.2.0.

The FortiClient 6.2.0 for MS Windows standard installer and zip package containing FortiClient.msi and language transforms and the FortiClient 6.2.0 for macOS standard installer are included with FortiClient EMS 6.2.0.

Fortinet Security Fabric upgrade

FortiOS 6.2.2 greatly increases the interoperability between other Fortinet products. This includes:

l FortiAnalyzer 6.2.0 l FortiClient EMS 6.2.0 l FortiClient 6.2.0 l FortiAP 5.4.4 and later l FortiSwitch 3.6.9 and later

Upgrade the firmware of each product in the correct order. This maintains network connectivity without the need to use manual steps.

If Security Fabric is enabled, then all FortiGate devices must be upgraded to 6.2.2. When Security Fabric is enabled in FortiOS 6.2.2, all FortiGate devices must be running FortiOS 6.2.2.

Minimum version of TLS services automatically changed

For improved security, FortiOS 6.2.2 uses the ssl-min-proto-version option (under config system global) to control the minimum SSL protocol version used in communication between FortiGate and third-party SSL and TLS services.

When you upgrade to FortiOS 6.2.2 and later, the default ssl-min-proto-version option is TLS v1.2. The following SSL and TLS services inherit global settings to use TLS v1.2 as the default. You can override these settings.

  • Email server (config system email-server) l Certificate (config vpn certificate setting) l FortiSandbox (config system fortisandbox)
  • FortiGuard (config log fortiguard setting) l FortiAnalyzer (config log fortianalyzer setting) l LDAP server (config user ldap) l POP3 server (config user pop3)

Downgrading to previous firmware versions

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

Amazon AWS enhanced networking compatibility issue

With this enhancement, there is a compatibility issue with older AWS VM versions. After downgrading a 6.2.2 image to an older version, network connectivity is lost. Since AWS does not provide console access, you cannot recover the downgraded image.

When downgrading from 6.2.2 to older versions, running the enhanced nic driver is not allowed. The following AWS instances are affected:

  • C3 l C4 l R3
  • I2 l M4 l D2

FortiLink access-profile setting

The new FortiLink local-access profile controls access to the physical interface of a FortiSwitch that is managed by FortiGate.

After upgrading FortiGate to 6.2.2, the interface allowaccess configuration on all managed FortiSwitches are overwritten by the default FortiGate local-access profile. You must manually add your protocols to the localaccess profile after upgrading to 6.2.2.

To configure local-access profile:

config switch-controller security-policy local-access edit [Policy Name] set mgmt-allowaccess https ping ssh set internal-allowaccess https ping ssh

next

end

To apply local-access profile to managed FortiSwitch:

config switch-controller managed-switch edit [FortiSwitch Serial Number] set switch-profile [Policy Name] set access-profile [Policy Name]

next

end

FortiGate VM with V-license

This version allows FortiGate VM with V-License to enable split-vdom.

To enable split-vdom:

config system global set vdom-mode [no-vdom | split vdom]

end

Limitations

Citrix XenServer limitations

The following limitations apply to Citrix XenServer installations:

  • XenTools installation is not supported.
  • FortiGate-VM can be imported or deployed in only the following three formats:
  • XVA (recommended)
  • VHD l OVF
  • The XVA format comes pre-configured with default configurations for VM name, virtual CPU, memory, and virtual NIC. Other formats will require manual configuration before the first power on process.

Open source XenServer limitations

When using Linux Ubuntu version 11.10, XenServer version 4.1.0, and libvir version 0.9.2, importing issues may arise when using the QCOW2 format and existing HDA issues.

One thought on “FortiOS 6.2.2 Release Notes

  1. Fabio

    Hi Mike, what do you think about dlp sensor removed from GUI ?
    For me it isn’ t good .. Configure dlp sensor from GUI was very intuitive and simple …

    From fortinet support:

    Good morning, I have upgraded to firmware 6.2.2 from 6.2.1 but DLP sensor utm feature is missing from GUI.
    Is it removed in this release ?

    >>There is a change which is introduced with DLP feature in FortiOS 6.2.2v

    –From 6.2.2v the DLP feature from FortiGate GUI is removed.

    –You can use below CLI commands to check on DLP in FortiGate CLI,
    config dlp filepattern
    show full
    end
    config dlp sensor
    show full
    end
    config firewall policy
    edit
    show full
    end
    //on policy you should ‘see set dlp ‘, if not the you can enable the DLP sensor using this.
