Introduction to FGT_200D-v5-build1167-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers ​​FortiOS 5.6.10​​ for the ​​FortiGate 200D​​ next-generation firewall, released under Fortinet’s Extended Security Update (ESU) program in Q2 2024. Designed for mid-sized enterprise networks, build 1167 provides critical security patches and hardware compatibility updates for deployments utilizing NP6 Lite ASIC architectures.

The “v5” designation confirms compatibility with FortiGate 200D hardware revisions featuring single NP6 Lite processors, supporting up to 10Gbps firewall throughput. This version maintains interoperability with FortiManager 7.2.x and FortiAnalyzer 7.0.x for centralized policy management.
