After further testing on the passive device, our engineers managed to work around the Fortinet bug in FortiOS.
As a result, the cluster has been successfully upgraded and is now in sync and on the latest version.
Thank you for being patient while we worked through these issues with the Vendor.

Summary of Works
As part of our commitment to platform security and stability, our engineering team will be performing a major firmware upgrade on our Sydney FortiGate firewall cluster. This upgrade is expected to resolve several known firmware bugs and vulnerabilities, ensuring a more resilient environment moving forward.
Maintenance Window
- Date: 28/07/2026
- Start Time: 1 AM, AEST
- End Time: 5 AM, AEST
- Total Window: 4 Hours
Expected Impact
- Service Interruption: While our cluster configuration is designed for high availability and we will take every precaution to minimise downtime, the major nature of this upgrade means there is a risk of disruption.
- Preparation: Please prepare for up to 1 hour of potential service impact on all connectivity passing through the Sydney cluster during the window.
Critical Note: SSL-VPN Retirement
Please be aware that SSL-VPN is fully retired in this new firmware version.
While migration efforts to transition active users to IPsec-VPN have been underway, please ensure that your users are connecting exclusively via IPsec-VPN moving forward. Any legacy SSL-VPN profiles or connections will cease to function permanently following this upgrade.
If you experience any unexpected issues outside of the maintenance window, please contact our support desk immediately by raising a case in the MySAU portal.
