What’s new in FortiOS 7.6.4

The following list contains new managed FortiSwitchOS features added in FortiOS 7.6.4:

• You can now configure the maximum burst size allowed by storm control globally or per switch.

• You can now log events that violate the IPv4 source-guard settings. The IPv4 source-guard violation log contains a maximum of 128 entries with a maximum of 5 entries per port, even if more violations have occurred. The IPv4 source-guard violation log applies to all FortiSwitch units in the virtual domain (VDOM). You can also specify how many seconds before source guard violations are removed from the log.

• You can now use both FortiSwitch network access control (NAC) and 802.1X authentication on the same switch port. After a device is successfully authenticated with 802.1X authentication, the NAC user policy checks if the device is assigned to a specific user group. If the device matches the NAC user policy, it is assigned to a specific VLAN.

• FortiOS now supports configuring the following features on layer-3 managed switches:

  • Switched virtual interfaces (SVIs)

  • Routed virtual interfaces (RVIs)

  • Static IPv4 routing

  • Virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)

  • DHCP servers

• The maximum length for managed FortiSwitch names has changed from 16 characters to 35 characters.
