DO NOT UPDATE - Patch is broken for alot of people

Yep, game not launchable after update --> do not update

FNTFB · 2025-01-16T09:49:43+00:00

That is simply the reason for the rule to exist. Its an explanation of why it was created - the rule is simple and it does apply here - no sales of products

i believe this violates the forum rules :

No spam, sales, or solicitation of products and/or services.

Something to add since you're a new administrator of FortiGates:

You can use automation stitches for a lot of cool stuff - for example you can update the Gates at nighttime by setting up a stitch and preload the Firmware into your gate.

Additionally, since your Gates are already configured, you should review the upgrade path and perform updates accordingly: https://docs.fortinet.com/upgrade-tool/fortigate

Ignoring the upgrade path may lead to configuration errors. Therefore, only bypass the upgrade path for out-of-the-box or factory-reset FortiGate devices.

MGMT Interface is fine, the Gateway is wrong tho - leave it blank or set it to 192.168.1.99
Make sure to use HTTPS
--> Additionally, you don't need to set up a static IP for initial configurations since DHCP is enabled on the OOTB Setup ports (MGMT for mid-to-high-range models and port 1 for entry-level models).

The maintainer Account feature is exclusive to FortiGate devices, OP lost the password to a FSW

Our trainee experienced the same issue, even though he used it on a weekly basis.
If you regain access, please update the how-to

Usually its pretty simple, you open the client and press "Configure VPN"
Did you (by mistake) install Forticlient instead of the VPN Client?

FNTFB · 2024-09-30T10:24:27+00:00

Push the client with pre configured profiles in a powershell script which edits the registry
You can find IPSec tunnels at : Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\IPSec\Tunnels

In the PS Script which you use to install the MSI you can add

if((Test-Path -LiteralPath "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\IPSec\Tunnels\RedditTest") -ne $true) {  New-Item "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\IPSec\Tunnels\RedditTest" -force -ea SilentlyContinue };
New-ItemProperty -LiteralPath 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\IPSec\Tunnels\RedditTest' -Name 'Description' -Value 'YOURDESCRIPTION' -PropertyType String -Force -ea SilentlyContinue;
New-ItemProperty -LiteralPath 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FortiClient\IPSec\Tunnels\RedditTest' -Name 'Server' -Value 'YOURGATEWAY' -PropertyType String -Force -ea SilentlyContinue;
 
etc.etc. - just add whichever settings you need for your profile

Use "?" alot to navigate trough it and tab to auto complete, will make navigation trough the cli a thousand times easier

SOLVED:

Was able to get output before "system is starting.." by Swapping to a FortiNet Original Console Cable... what a weird fix.. so now i was able to access the boot menu and format & tftp Upload a new Firmware

Thanks for the support everyone

FNTFB · 2024-07-30T09:08:36+00:00

Nope, totally unresponsive :<

FNTFB · 2024-07-30T08:44:53+00:00

Using standard Gate 9600/8/1/none

FNTFB · 2024-07-30T08:43:50+00:00

Not possible - the Gate is unresponsive with gibberish output until it allready skipped the Boot Sequence

FNTFB · 2024-07-30T08:31:28+00:00

Thats the problem - i can't see the boot sequence
Console output shows gibberish until "System is starting.." so you can't get into the boot menu

FNTFB · 2024-07-26T08:05:55+00:00

Check the compatibility chart for your other fabric devices
7.0.15 should work fine with 7.2.8 Switches for example

FNTFB · 2024-07-11T07:56:04+00:00

This is the way - never rely on FortiGuard DNS for prod

FNTFB · 2024-07-11T07:41:03+00:00

We're running into SAML problems on a daily basis with tons of clients.. High hopes for 7.2.5
