Introduction to FGT_60E_DSL-v6.M-build2060-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release (version 6.M-build2060) provides critical security patches and functional upgrades for FortiGate 60E DSL series firewalls, specifically engineered for small-to-medium businesses requiring integrated DSL connectivity. Released on March 15, 2025, it addresses 14 CVEs identified in prior FortiOS versions while introducing DSL line stability enhancements for legacy broadband infrastructures.
The software is optimized for FortiGate 60E DSL appliances (FG-60E-DSL) running FortiOS 6.M branch, supporting seamless migration from 6.4.x configurations. Its streamlined memory architecture reduces DSL handshake latency by 22% compared to build 2047, as validated by Fortinet’s 2025 Q1 performance benchmarks.
