Change between NAT and Transparent modes removed from the GUI (278289)

The feature in the GUI initiating the change between NAT and Transparent modes has been removed. It can still be done, but only through the CLI. The configuration setting that is used is:

config system settings

set opmode [nat | transparent]

end

 

Switch mode changes (286447)

Hub mode is no longer available. The old switch mode, usually called ‘LAN’ will no longer be available. The interface mode is still available and on all models, and instead of the old switch mode, most of the lower end units will come configured, by default, with a hardware switch called ‘LAN’, which has the function of the old switch mode but is more flexible. Most models with 40 ports or more will come by default in vlan switch mode.

 

New start attribute as been added to scheduled scripts (285206)

The start attribute has the options manual and auto. Manual means a schedule script needs to be manually started after a reboot. Auto automatically restarts the script after a reboot.

Use the following command to set a script to automatically run after the FortiGate starts up:

config system auto-script edit <script-name>

set start auto end
