What’s new in FortiOS 5.4.1
For a more detailed list of new features and enhancements that have been made in FortiOS 5.4.1, see the What’s New for FortiOS5.4.1document available in the Fortinet Document Library.
Security Fabric
Logical View
A topology diagram reflects the logical representation of the network. This includes:
l How the fabric is formed (which interfaces connect to each FortiGate) l Which devices are connected to each segment (LAN interface) l Traffic bandwidth originating from each segment
Physical View
A topology diagram reflects the physical topology of the Security Fabric. This includes:
- How the fabric is formed l All FortiGates, FortiSwitches and endpoints (hosts) in the network
- Relative traffic volume based on bandwidth, packets, sessions, etc. behind each FortiGate
Endpoint Telemetry
Enhancements to the FortiClient Security Profile to integrate with the Security Fabric:
- Utilize endpoint discovery and registration to extend visibility beyond the firewall
- Obtain user identity and endpoint security context (vulnerability, security posture, OS details, interface, IP address,
MAC address) l Modular client with cross platform support
Learning Mode & Report
Learning Mode is a new Firewall Policy option, similar to the Allow Policy, with fully enabled logging capabilities. All logs generated from these policies will be tagged as Learning.
A new Cyber Threat Assessment Report is also available. It uses all of the Learning Logs, across all traffic and security vectors, to generate a complete summary report. This enables users to easily implement a “monitor then enforce” process.
FortiView
Cord Chart
A visual representation of pairs of networks (interfaces) that are connected to each other in relation to other networks. It provides a top-level view of how flows are traversing your network.

FYI. I ran into a terrible problem using a Fortigate VM00. 5.4.1 will not run because the virtual appliance only has 1GB of memory available. Fortinet was nice enough to diagnose the problem, but really does not have an easy way of upgrading to the 2GB virtual appliance.
Sorry to hear that you are having problems. What hypervisor are you running the FortiGate VM on?
Problems of download speed, I have a fortigate 30e and I have problems in the download speed 4.2 mbps, instead in upload speed is correct 89.55 mbps, I do not know where the problem may come from. I have version 5.4.1 build1064. You can help me.
