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.

FortiOS 6.4.0 Release Notes 10

Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Special notices

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.

System Advanced menu removal (combined with System Settings)

584254 l Removed System > Advanced menu (moved most features to System > Settings page).
l Moved configuration script upload feature to top menu > Configuration > Scripts page.
l Removed GUI support for auto-script configuration (the feature is still supported in the CLI).
l Converted all compliance tests to security rating tests.

Application group improvements

Bug ID Description

565309 Application Group improvements.

NGFW mode

Bug ID Description

584314 NGFW mode should have a link to show list of all applications.

PCI passthrough ports

Bug ID Description

605103 PCI passthrough ports order might be changed after upgrading. This does not affect VMXNET3 and
SR-IOV ports because SR-IOV ports are in MAC order by default.

FortiOS 6.4.0 Release Notes 11

Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Special notices

CLI and GUI behavior changes

Bug ID Description

610191 This change includes multiple behaviour changes to both the CLI and GUI:
l Added default automation rules (after factory reset). All are disabled by default, except for the

FEXP push notification.

l Added new incoming webhook trigger for automation.

l Removed Email Alert Settings page.

l Added new API for POST /api/v2/monitor/system/automation-

stitch/webhook/<trigger mkey>.

FG-80E-POE and FG-81E-POE PoE controller firmware update

FortiOS 6.4.0 has resolved bug 570575 to fix a FortiGate failing to provide power to ports. Please see the Resolved
issues on page 59 section. The PoE hardware controller, however, may require an update that must be performed using
the CLI. Upon successful execution of this command, the PoE hardware controller firmware is updated to the latest
version 2.18:
diagnose poe upgrade-firmware

Managed switch controller in NAC policy

Bug ID Description

621785 user.nac-policy[].switch-scope may contain a data reference to switch-

controller.managed-switch. When this reference is set by an admin, they need to remove
this reference prior to deleting the managed-switch.

VLANs on a FortiLink interface

In FortiOS 6.4.0, VLANs on a FortiLink interface configured to use a hardware switch may fail to come up upon upgrade
or reboot due to an incorrect registration of the IP address of the switch VLAN interface.
The issue affects the FG-60E, FG-61E, FG-80E, FG-81E, FG-90E, and FG-91E models that contain a hardware switch
and have FortiLink configured on it by default. Aggregate, physical, and software switch interfaces are not affected.
A workaround (not reboot persistent) is to re-configure the IP address on each VLAN interface to a different IP address.
You may use an IP address in the same subnet and then change it back to the original IP address if desired.

FortiOS 6.4.0 Release Notes 12

Fortinet Technologies Inc.
Special notices

AWS-On-Demand image

Bug ID Description

589605 Starting from FortiOS 6.4.0, the FGT-VM64-AWSONDEMAND image is no longer provided. Both
AWS PAYG and AWS BYOL models will share the same FGT-VM64-AWS image.

Policy routing enhancements in the reply direction

When reply traffic enters the FortiGate, and a policy route or SD-WAN rule is configured, the egress interface is chosen
as follows.
With auxiliary-session enabled in config system settings:
l Starting in 6.4.0, the reply traffic will not match any policy routes or SD-WAN rules to determine the egress interface
and next hop.
l Prior to this change, the reply traffic will match policy routes or SD-WAN rules in order to determine the egress
interface and next hop.
With auxiliary-session disabled in config system settings:
l The reply traffic will egress on the original incoming interface.

l The source guard IP needs to be unique for every source guard entry across all ports.

l The binding entry is a second level table (switch_id being the base) with port_name as the

parent key. Deleted events work at a switch level, but the with second level tables, there is a
need to store grandparent context as well. An opaque data field has been created in the queue
node and the corresponding flcfg_add_event_queue and flcfg_delete_sw_event_
queue have been modified accordingly.
l Any calls to the flcfg_add_event_queue have been modified.

l There are two kinds of events that will be generated with this command: FLCFG_MSW_CMF_

SOURCE_GUARD_UPDATE for port level info change and FLCFG_MSW_CMF_SOURCE_GUARD_

ENTRY_UPDATE for binding entry level info change.

l The gutter also contains a table showing statistics of currently selected members for SLA.

l Added support for multiple members being selected in manual mode.

Performance SLA:
l Added support for IPv4 DNS protocol.

l Added support for using system DNS. GUI will display the system DNS server in this case.

l Support set members 0, which means all SD-WAN members participate in a health check.

New features or enhancements

Bug ID Description

573568 For FortiGate Azure HA, change public IP and routing table entries allocated in different resource
groups.
In an Azure HA scenario, EIP and route tables failover are specified in the SDN connector
configuration. A new attribute, resource-group, was added, which allows a user to specifying the
resource group that an EIP or route table is from. This new attribute can be empty so upgrade code
is not required.
If the resource-group of an EIP or route table is not provided, it is assumed the resource comes
from the same resource group setting in the SDN connector (if there is no setting, it assumes the
same resource group as the FortiGate itself by getting it from the instance metadata).
CLI changes:
l Add resource-group attribute.

573993 Add UTM log for FortiAnalyzer cloud-based subscription.

CLI changes:
l Default FortiAnalyzer Cloud filters set to enable

config log fortianalyzer-cloud filter

Most options within config log fortianalyzer-cloud filter defaulted to disable and
could not be changed. Now, they default to enable and can be changed. License-based
restrictions still apply, but the configuration can be used to refine the logs being sent to
FortiAnalyzer Cloud.
The exception is the dlp-archive option, which is still set to disable and cannot be changed.

574376 Consolidate IPv4 and IPv6 policy configuration.

CLI changes:
l policy6 removed, related function and attribute removed

l consolidated.policy removed, related function and attribute removed

l system.settings.consolidated-firewall-mode removed, consolidated related

function and attribute removed

l Both policies are merged to firewall.policy

l Application changes related to policy merge including ips, wad, sslvpn, ocvpn, dnsproxy,

voip, urlfilter, proxy, scanunit, authd, snmp, updated, miglogd, etc.

GUI changes:
l IPv4 Policy and IPv6 Policy menu entries have been removed and both can now be configured

under the new Firewall Policy menu.

575770 Increase IPS custom signature length to 4096.

576381 Automatically disable NPU offloading if the session interface has shaping-profile enabled.

576938 Add IKE HA support for combined FGSP (L3 cluster) and FGCP (L2 cluster). This corrects the
synchronization between FGCP and FGSP clusters in order to guarantee a real ability to failover
IPsec tunnels.

l Single 5G
l Radio 1 operates at 2.4 GHz
l Radio 2 operates at 5 GHz
l Radio 3 set to monitor mode
l Dual 5G
l Radio 1 operates at 5 GHz and uses the higher spectrum of channels ( >=

l Radio 2: operates at 5 GHz and uses the lower spectrum of channels ( < 64)
Radio 3: can be set to AP mode
l

lNew wtp-profile platform property ddscan.

l FortiGate will configure DFS channels on FAP-231E with region code E, I, V, Y, and D.

l Default mode for 3-radio AP models set to single 5G .

GUI changes:
l Added GUI support for FAP-231E platform:

l New GUI option, Dedicated scan, which is counterpart of ddscan platform property.
l When dedicated scan is enabled:
l Monitor mode becomes exclusive to radio 3
l No AP mode for radio 3, even in dual 5G
No WIDS profile setting for radio 1 and 2
l

API changes:
l /api/v2/monitor/wifi/ap_platforms

l Radio property changed from object to array to accommodate for multimode platforms.
First element is single 5G, and second is dual 5G platform radio configuration. For non-
multimode platforms, array is of length 1.

578643 The feature extends the quarantine function on the FortiSwitch by allowing a device to be

588083 Support MAC and weight in device identification signatures to improve IoT detection. All device
identification signatures have been updated to:
l Allow the MAC address of the device to be part of the key for a signature so it can be used to

allow to signatures that would otherwise be identical to be separated by MAC address, and
allow them to identify the correct device.
l Allow every signature to have a weight (0-255) that is used as a component of the new rules,

which determines when the result of one signature should override the result of another
signature.

Device detection changes

In FortiOS 6.0.x, the device detection feature contains multiple sub-components, which are independent:
l Visibility – Detected information is available for topology visibility and logging.
l FortiClient endpoint compliance – Information learned from FortiClient can be used to enforce compliance of those
endpoints.
l Mac-address-based device policies – Detected devices can be defined as custom devices, and then used in device-
based policies.
In 6.2, these functionalities have changed:
l 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.
l 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.
In 6.4.0, device detection related GUI functionality has been relocated:
1. The device section has moved from User & Authentication (formerly User & Device) to a widget in Dashboard.
2. The email collection monitor page has moved from Monitor to a widget in Dashboard.

FortiOS 6.4.0 Release Notes 48

Upgrade Information

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:
l 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.
l 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 6.4.0 greatly increases the interoperability between other Fortinet products. This includes:
l FortiAnalyzer 6.4.0 build 1992
l FortiClient EMS 6.4.0 build 1393
l FortiClient 6.4.0 build 1440
l FortiAP 5.6.5 and later
l FortiSwitch 3.6.11 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 6.4.0. When
Security Fabric is enabled in FortiOS 6.4.0, all FortiGate devices must be running FortiOS
6.4.0.

Minimum version of TLS services automatically changed

For improved security, FortiOS 6.4.0 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 6.4.0 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)

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 5.6.2 and older AWS VM versions. After downgrading a 6.4.0
image to a 5.6.2 or older version, network connectivity is lost. Since AWS does not provide console access, you cannot
recover the downgraded image.
When downgrading from 6.4.0 to 5.6.2 or older versions, running the enhanced NIC driver is not allowed. The following
AWS instances are affected:

C5 Inf1 P3 T3a
C5d m4.16xlarge R4 u-6tb1.metal
C5n M5 R5 u-9tb1.metal
F1 M5a R5a u-12tb1.metal
G3 M5ad R5ad u-18tb1.metal
G4 M5d R5d u-24tb1.metal
H1 M5dn R5dn X1
I3 M5n R5n X1e
I3en P2 T3 z1d

A workaround is to stop the instance, change the type to a non-ENA driver NIC type, and continue with downgrading.
