What’s new in FortiOS 7.6.3

The following list contains new managed FortiSwitchOS features added in FortiOS 7.6.3:

• You can now use CLI commands to check the system status and the fan status.

• When you create a device NAC policy in the FortiOS GUI, FortiOS now suggests values when you select the hardware vendor, device family, type, operating system, or host to match. For example, if you want the NAC policy to match a device family, FortiOS suggests FortiSwitch, FortiGate, FortiAP, FortiFone, FortiCam, FortiRecorder, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, Mac, iPhone, Galaxy, Virtual Machine, and Printer. These suggestions make it easier and quicker to create a device NAC policy.

• You can now use the CLI to prevent the switch controller from automatically creating VLANs.

• You can now use FortiLink to manage FortiSwitch units using IPv6 addresses. Previously, only IPv4 addresses were supported.

• You can now specify the source IP address in a FortiSwitch unit for the following:

  • Layer-3 FortiLink with CAPWAP tunnel mode (in-band management and out-of-band management) (IPv4 and IPv6)

  • Layer-3 FortiLink with HTTPS tunnel mode (in-band management and out-of-band management) (IPv4)

  • FortiCloud management (IPv4)

  This feature requires FortiSwitchOS 7.4.7, 7.6.2, or later but supports all versions of FortiOS.
