Enterprise Deployment Guidelines
- Execute pre-upgrade configuration backup via CLI:
execute backup full-config sftp admin@backup-server
- Schedule maintenance window of 60 minutes for firmware installation
- Monitor CPU/memory utilization for 72 hours post-upgrade
This build maintains full compatibility with FortiAnalyzer 7.4.2+ for centralized log analysis. Avoid mixed-version HA clusters until all nodes are upgraded to build 1392+.
Note: Always confirm hardware compatibility through Fortinet’s Compatibility Matrix before deployment. Enterprise license holders may request bulk download access through FortiCare Support Portal.
