WAN Interface speed settings only show ‘auto’ after upgrading of FortiGate-100F/101F

This article describes the speed option changes between versions.

Scope

FortiGate-100F/101F.

Solution

After upgrading to versions v7.2.8, v7.4.2 and v7.4.4, the only available speed option for the WAN interfaces is ‘auto’ because of a design change. The speed options look like below:

FG101F (wan1) # set speed
auto <----- Automatically adjust speed.

As this change causes issues for environments that require manually set the speed, the following speed settings will be available in the upcoming versions:

FG101F# set speed
auto Automatically adjust speed.
10full 10M full-duplex.
10half 10M half-duplex.
100full 100M full-duplex.
100half 100M half-duplex.
1000full 1000M full-duplex.

The speed settings will be available in v7.2.9, v7.4.5 and v7.6.0. In case a specific speed must be used instead of ‘auto’ there is no workaround apart from upgrading in the mentioned versions.
