​​Introduction to FWF_60E_DSL-v6-build1637-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware package (build 1637) delivers critical security enhancements and WAN optimization improvements for FortiWAN 60E DSL application delivery controllers running FortiOS 6.4.5. Released under Fortinet’s Q2 2025 Security Maintenance Program, it addresses three high-risk vulnerabilities while improving traffic shaping accuracy for distributed branch offices.

Specifically designed for multi-WAN environments with DSL connectivity, the update enhances SD-WAN orchestration capabilities and strengthens integration with FortiManager 7.6.1+ for centralized policy enforcement. It meets PCI-DSS 4.0 compliance requirements through refined traffic prioritization and encrypted session auditing.
