Compatibility and Requirements
Component | Requirement |
---|---|
Supported Hardware | FortiGate 3400E, 3401E |
Minimum RAM | 64GB DDR4 (32GB reserved for FortiGuard) |
Storage | 512GB SSD free space for log retention |
FortiManager Integration | 7.4.5 or later required |
Firmware upgrades from versions below 6.4.9 require intermediate build 6.4.10. The package is incompatible with previous-generation 3400F models due to architecture differences in security processing units.
Limitations and Restrictions
- SD-WAN application steering requires separate license activation
- Maximum 200,000 concurrent IPsec tunnels per VDOM
- IPv6 multicast policies require manual CLI configuration
- Known issue: Interface statistics may reset during HA failover (FN-10592)
