Introduction to FGT_3200D-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 3200D hyperscale firewalls, specifically designed for mission-critical data center deployments. As part of FortiOS 6.4’s extended support branch, build2030 addresses operational vulnerabilities in multi-tenant VDOM configurations while optimizing hardware resource utilization for NP7 network processors.
Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 3200D chassis systems (FG-3200D), this Q2 2025 maintenance release resolves critical security gaps identified in SSL-VPN load balancing implementations. The update maintains backward compatibility with configurations deployed under FortiOS 6.4.9+ while introducing hardware-specific optimizations for 400GbE network interfaces.
