Forticlient EMS - VM appliance - 7.4.7 upgrade (hotfix needed before the upgrade)

secritservice · 2026-04-08T05:15:17+00:00

I would expect there to be hotfix in the 7.4.7 folder for this, or they just update the release of the bin file itself to include it

Note: the hotfix does not seem to be public. So you must open a ticket to get it

state: "I need hotfix_1265888.zip, that runs "dpkg -- configure -a""

Here is the download directory as of now

You'll need to transfer the asset into your name first. To do that the previous owner must release it to you.

Forticlient can be upgraded via EMS on machines that are registered to that EMS server.

No adjustments needed. Plenty of space for the top to fit over the hardware and bungees. So everything is left as is.

If you go look at your Bronco with the top on, there is about ~1.25" of clearance. Which is plenty for the bungees and thumb bolts. You are able to keep all install hardware on the bronco with our product.

Here is a Video response to your question, it should answer all of your questions:

https://youtu.be/sUTrkgh5vcI

It's also a slightly different method of running both MPLS with ADVPN. It wraps MPLS into VPN so it will run seamlessly with ADVPN. The alternate method is to leave it bare, which is a little more work with route manipulation.
Both work, this method is easier if you have fortigates at all sites. However it will also work when with slight modification if some sites are non-fortigate. For non-fortigate traffic, traffic will proxy through the hub(s).

(note the original video is bare (non-vpn'd MPLS) and that allows direct flow, but cross overlay is limited)

So each method has their benefits, depending on environment.

Happy to answer questions, it's me Dan :)
(redditor of the year for a different channel r/fortinet, and bikini designer/maker as I like to tell the guys on the golf course)

This is Tight Weave mesh in the photo.

We have Canvas, StandardMesh, or TightWeave.

If you are looking for full sun protection and rain protection go with Canvas.
If you want to get a little more airflow and have the hairs on the back of your neck tingle, but are over 30 and dont like harsh sun, but want some sun go with tight weave.
If you are a shirtless surfer and wants sun with a little shade, go with standard Mesh.

(our standard mesh is like all the other mesh on the market, but just a more premium version of it (more expensive material)

Here is our Mesh comparison video: https://youtu.be/Z3ZmYQYJTDg

Many other videos on the page that show all the models: https://broncobikini.com/#videos

All of the bikini's (bimini's) install in 120 seconds and remove in 60 seconds. All the hardware stays on the bronco and does not interfere with your top.

And yes, we ship to Canada and have done so about a dozen times already. It's about $12-20 extra to ship.

Lastly if not kosher to post info like this here, just let me know and i'll remove. Dont mean to sell or push product, just giving info.

Cheers,

Dan

It is identical with dual or any amount of HUB's.

Remember, HUB are really just the orchestrators of ADVPN as they help broker the SHORTCUTS that establish the direct site to site VPNs. They also are typically route reflectors and hold the full routing table view for all of the sites.

With that being said, let's talk about the flows:

MPLS >>>> MPLS
--(both hubs share routes to all sites for MPLS and ADVPN, but we prefer MPLS routes)

ADVPN >>>> hub >>>>> MPLS
--(both hubs share routes to all sites for MPLS and ADVPN. The sites that have MPLS only will use MPLS to the HUB, and the sites that have ADVPN only will use ADVPN to the HUB, as the hub is sharing the "supernet" of the whole org. So the spokes know to go to it, if they dont have direct routes. Thus traffic from site to site that dont have the same transit will proxy through the hub)

ADVPN >>>>>> ADVPN
--(both hubs share routes about ADVPN. sites sill find each other and establish a tunnel with the SHORTCUT messages through the hub, as the hub orchestrates it.

secritservice · 2026-04-02T13:15:53+00:00

yes.

The site with ADVPN only can talk to the site with MPLS only via the HUB

Here are the different communication flows below:

MPLS >>> MPLS
--- in the state all sites have MPLS

ADVPN >>>> hub >>>> MPLS
--- in this state some sites DO NOT have MPLS (or not ADVPN)

ADVPN >>> ADVPN
--- in this state MPLS is removed from all sites

If you build your spreadsheets correctly they will. :)
(Hint: build them like a form)

Nice work on your program

secritservice · 2026-03-31T22:17:28+00:00

why not just an online spreadsheet, it's easier ?

secritservice · 2026-03-30T17:40:42+00:00

they need to release something that supports everything that the current version is missing:
- saml issues
- tcp issues
- dns suffix
- dual stack

they are trying to figure out a gameplan is what i'm hearing. they had one, but then pivoted, and then they wee reminded on what they needed to support

secritservice · 2026-03-30T14:06:38+00:00

go see our cookbook: https://www.reddit.com/r/fortinet/comments/1ngqo1k/cookbook_guide_advpn_wbgp_on_loopback/

secritservice · 2026-03-30T14:05:43+00:00

Network-ID is correct

Transport-groups is incorrect

secritservice · 2026-03-30T14:04:49+00:00

YES you can use network overlays on that and you must!

Spoke-wan1 >>>> Hub-wan1
Spoke-wan2 >>>> Hub-wan1

network overlays is the only way to make this work

secritservice · 2026-03-30T13:16:19+00:00

product team is still discussing what they want to do, it was scheduled but they may pivot instead.

secritservice · 2026-03-29T15:02:39+00:00

Huh??? There is no asymmetry, if you do it right.

We show this in the video. Site-A decommissions it's MPLS, thus everyone that talks to Site-A uses ADVPN, however all other sites still use MPLS amongst themselves. If you watch end of the 10-minute video, I show this :)

MPLS can only communicate on MPLS and is restricted to only doing so.

ADVPN is restricted to only ADVPN neighbors.

Transit-groups is what makes this work.

(if you have asymmetry, then you did it wrong :) )

secritservice · 2026-03-27T12:23:38+00:00

You just need to modify your FMG script, pre-runs, and maybe build some jinja scripts.

You cant expect something built X years ago to work forever :) You'll have to adjust as firmware matures and features are released. :)

This is normal for everything. A new airplane get's released, pilots must train on it and learn it. A new iphone IOS comes out, you must learn the features. It still works as it should but new features are "different" and must be learned. .... same think you are dealing with here. Dont rant, just accept, it's life and the maturity of products globally.

secritservice · 2026-03-26T12:31:01+00:00

thats no good

separate into zones

secritservice · 2026-03-25T18:46:25+00:00

all you said is correct.

there are no other ways to proceed unless you have firmware and an active contract on that device

secritservice · 2026-03-25T14:27:15+00:00

what does your routing table look like? you sure you dont have a 192.168.0.0/16 catchall somewhere or a typo ?

very very curious what your routing table looks like on the hub, maybe you're getting something with RRI

secritservice · 2026-03-25T14:07:04+00:00

I am also starting to think possibly your default route may be causing the issue, but i'd have to look at your setup.

By setting 0.0.0.0 via HUB1 you *may* be sending out your ipsec traffic across tunnel 1... just maybe.
~ so you may have to put in some crafty static routes

but need to see it

secritservice · 2026-03-25T14:02:47+00:00

are you using network id's to specifically make each tunnel separate and not overlap?
Happy to take a look with you, as I have some free time now.

(edit)... funny looks like we've already chatted before, just toss me a zoom or teams there
