Support for ftdv 7.3.1 on VmWare 8.2

[henrikj]

Hi

Is FTDv 7.3.1 supported on VmWare version 8 update 2 ?

We run a FTDv HA setup, and just upgraded from VmWare version 7.x to version 8 update 2, after that our secondary FTDv seems to be fine from VmWare point of view, but in FTDv CLI all interfaces says "line protocol down   -  no link" 

Anybody ???

Regards Henrik

But check is there any Interface changes after upgrade, change to e1000 and test it ?

@henrikj it doesn't appear so, the FTD 7.3 release notes states ESX 6.5, 6.7 - 7.0 is supported.

I might be misremembering, but I seem to recall a previous post saying you could change the type of virtual NIC and this worked.....but it would be unsupported.

You're referring to this topic, and the work-around mentioned by Marvin.
