Whatʼs new in FortiSwitch Manager 7.2.0

The following list contains new FortiSwitch Manager features added in 7.2.0:

• Zero-touch management is now more efficient. When a new FortiSwitch unit is started, by default, it will connect to the available manager, which can be FortiSwitch Manager, a FortiGate device, or FortiLAN Cloud. Only one manager can be used at a time. The FortiSwitch configuration does not need to be backed up before the FortiSwitch unit is managed, and the FortiSwitch unit does not need to be restarted when it becomes managed. All ports are enabled for auto discovery. The “internal” interface is the DHCP client in all FortiSwitch models.

• The FortiSwitch Manager GUI is now supported.

• Layer-3 routing is now supported with IPv4 addresses. This support includes the following:

  • Switch virtual interfaces (SVIs)

  • Routed VLAN interfaces (RVIs)

  • Static routing

  • Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)
