WAN optimization and web caching functions

WAN optimization and web caching functions are removed from 60D and 90D series platforms, starting from 6.0.0 due to
their limited disk size. Platforms affected are:
l FGT-60D
l FGT-60D-POE
l FWF-60D
l FWF-60D-POE
l FGT-90D
l FGT-90D-POE

error about wanopt and webcache settings.

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:

Using FortiManager as a FortiGuard server

If you use FortiManager as a FortiGuard server, and you configure the FortiGate to use a secure connection to
FortiManager, you must use HTTPS with port 8888. HTTPS with port 53 is not supported.

Built-in certificate

FortiGate and FortiWiFi D-series and above have a built in Fortinet_Factory certificate that uses a 2048-bit certificate
with the 14 DH group.

FortiGate and FortiWiFi-92D 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:
l 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 and FWF-92D do 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:

l 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.

FortiOS 6.0.16 Release Notes 9

Fortinet Inc.
Special Notices

When the command is disabled:

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

FG-900D and FG-1000D

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.

FortiClient (Mac OS X) SSL VPN requirements

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

FortiClient profile changes

With introduction of the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiClient profiles will be updated on FortiGate. FortiClient profiles and
FortiGate are now primarily used for Endpoint Compliance, and FortiClient Enterprise Management Server (EMS) is now
used for FortiClient deployment and provisioning.
The FortiClient profile on FortiGate is for FortiClient features related to compliance, such as Antivirus, Web Filter,
Vulnerability Scan, and Application Firewall. You may set the Non-Compliance Action setting to Block or Warn.
FortiClient users can change their features locally to meet the FortiGate compliance criteria. You can also use FortiClient
EMS to centrally provision endpoints. The EMS also includes support for additional features, such as VPN tunnels or
other advanced options. For more information, see the FortiOS Handbook – Security Profiles.

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.

Using FortiAnalyzer units running older versions

When using FortiOS 6.0.16 with FortiAnalyzer units running 5.6.5 or lower, or 6.0.0-6.0.2, FortiAnalyzer might report
increased bandwidth and session counts if there are sessions that last longer than two minutes.
For accurate bandwidth and session counts, upgrade the FortiAnalyzer unit to the latest version.

Special Notices

L2TP over IPsec on certain mobile devices

Bug ID Description

459996 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8 and Android 9.0 crash after L2TP over IPsec is connected.

FortiOS 6.0.16 Release Notes 11

Fortinet Inc.
Upgrade Information

Supported upgrade path information is available on the Fortinet Customer Service & Support site.

To view supported upgrade path information:

1. Go to https://support.fortinet.com.
2. From the Download menu, select Firmware Images.
3. Check that Select Product is FortiGate.
4. Click the Upgrade Path tab and select the following:
l Current Product

l Current FortiOS Version

l Upgrade To FortiOS Version

5. Click Go.

FortiGuard protocol and port number

Fortinet has updated the protocol that is used between the FortiGate unit and FortiGuard. Please read the section under
Resolved Issues > Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. Upon upgrading to a patched version of FortiOS, customers
must manually change the protocol and port used for connecting to FortiGuard.
config system fortiguard
set protocol https
set port 8888
end

Once the FortiGate is upgraded to a patched version, any factory reset will change the default FortiGuard settings to
those above—protocol HTTPS and port 8888.

Fortinet Security Fabric upgrade

FortiOS 6.0.16 greatly increases the interoperability between other Fortinet products. This includes:
l FortiAnalyzer 6.0.11 and later
l FortiClient EMS 6.0.8
l FortiClient 6.0.10
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.

FortiOS 6.0.16 Release Notes 12

Fortinet Inc.
Upgrade Information

If Security Fabric is enabled, then all FortiGate devices must be upgraded to 6.0.16. When
Security Fabric is enabled, you cannot have some FortiGate devices running 6.0.16 and some
running 5.6.x.

Minimum version of TLS services automatically changed

For improved security, FortiOS 6.0.16 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 6.0.16 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.
l Email server (config system email-server)
l Certificate (config vpn certificate setting)
l FortiSandbox (config system fortisandbox)
l 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 VDOM parameters/settings
l admin user account
l session helpers
l system access profiles
If you have long VDOM names, you must shorten the long VDOM names (maximum 11 characters) before downgrading:
1. Back up your configuration.
2. In the backup configuration, replace all long VDOM names with its corresponding short VDOM name.
For example, replace edit <long_vdom_name>/<short_name> with edit <short_name>/<short_
name>.
3. Restore the configuration.
4. Perform the downgrade.

FortiOS 6.0.16 Release Notes 13

Fortinet Inc.
Upgrade Information

Amazon AWS enhanced networking compatibility issue

With this new enhancement, there is a compatibility issue with older AWS VM versions. After downgrading a 6.0.16
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 6.0.16 to older versions, running the enhanced nic driver is not allowed. The following AWS
instances are affected:
l C3
l C4
l R3
l I2
l M4
l D2

On VMs, after upgrading from 5.6.3 or earlier to 5.6.4 or later (including 6.0.0 or later), update-server-location is
set to usa.
If necessary, set update-server-location to use the nearest or low-latency FDS servers.

To set FortiGuard update-server-location:

config system fortiguard

set update-server-location [usa|any]
end

External IP not allowed to be the same as mapped IP

Traffic will be dropped when the IPS is enabled in a policy with a VIP that has the same external and mapped IP.
To avoid this, the kernel will disallow the configuration of the same extip and mappedip for VIPs in the CLI starting
from FortiOS 6.0.0.
