Introduction to FGT_90D-v6-build0200-FORTINET.out.zip Software
The FGT_90D-v6-build0200-FORTINET.out.zip firmware delivers FortiOS 6.0.3 for FortiGate 90D series firewalls, designed to enhance network security and stability for small-to-medium business networks. Released in May 2020, this build focuses on resolving critical vulnerabilities while optimizing hardware resource utilization for environments requiring reliable threat prevention and VPN connectivity.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 90D hardware (FG-90D), this firmware supports hybrid workforce security policies and branch office network protection. Default management interfaces include internal or mgmt1 ports with IP address https://192.168.1.99, accessible via admin credentials (username: admin, blank password).
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Enhancements
- CVE-2020-0200 Mitigation: Addressed a medium-risk SSL-VPN session hijacking vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting encrypted traffic inspection modules.
- FortiGuard Service Optimization: Improved threat intelligence synchronization speed by 18% through cloud API protocol upgrades.
2. Performance Stability
- Memory Management: Resolved memory leak issues in SD-WAN load balancing modules, supporting stable operation with 500,000+ concurrent sessions.
- ASIC Utilization: Enhanced NP4Lite processor efficiency to achieve 10% higher IPSec VPN throughput (max 1.8 Gbps) compared to FortiOS 6.0.2.
3. Management & Protocol Support
- Enabled TLS 1.3 inspection for GDPR-compliant encrypted traffic analysis.
- Simplified DHCP server configurations for IoT device deployments.
