​​Implementation Advisory​​

Deploy during maintenance windows after testing these critical actions:

  1. Disable HA heartbeat interfaces during firmware upload
  2. Clear SSL-VPN sessions using diagnose debug resetall sslvpn
  3. Validate custom IPS signatures post-upgrade

Fortinet recommends retaining v7.0.0 backups for 30 days due to non-reversible configuration changes in ZTNA tagging structures. Contact FortiGuard TAC (1-408-235-7700) for migration support plans.
