Introduction to FGT_3810D-v6-build1112-FORTINET.out
This firmware release (build1112) delivers critical security patches and operational enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 3810D Next-Generation Firewall, designed for high-performance data center and enterprise core network deployments. As part of the FortiOS 6.4.18 security maintenance cycle, it resolves five CVEs identified in Q2 2025 while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 6.2.x and later.
Optimized for the 3810D series hardware, this update improves threat protection throughput by 30% and introduces advanced automation features for hybrid cloud environments. The “v6” designation confirms compatibility with FortiOS 6.x architectures, while “build1112” represents the cumulative update package released on June 25, 2025.

Operational Considerations
-
VPN Scalability:
- Maximum 10,000 concurrent IPsec tunnels (vs. 15,000 in 3810F series)
- IKEv2 fragmentation requires MTU sizes ≥ 1400 bytes
-
Configuration Migration:
- Manual reimport of certificates created prior to FortiOS 6.2.4
- SD-WAN performance SLAs require recalibration post-upgrade
-
Third-Party Integration:
- SAML 2.0 authentication templates need revalidation with Azure AD/Okta
- Cross-platform logging requires FortiAnalyzer 7.4.5+ for schema alignment
