Troubleshooting framework

Step	What to do
1. Symptoms	Write down exactly what is failing, affected scope, start time and last known-good state.
2. Health	Check CPU, memory, interfaces, HA/control-plane status and recent configuration changes.
3. Path	Validate L1/L2/L3, routing, policy, session state and dependencies in that order.
4. Logs	Correlate system/event/traffic logs with packet captures and targeted debugs.
5. Version	Check release notes, known issues, compatibility and lifecycle before assuming configuration error.

Not every Fortinet product follows the same release numbering or support matrix. Treat 8.0/7.6 as navigation lenses, not a blanket compatibility statement. Verify the specific model and management combination in official documentation.
