Introduction to FGT_81E-v6.M-build2095-FORTINET.out

This firmware update (build 2095) addresses critical vulnerabilities in FortiOS 6.M branch while optimizing hardware performance for FortiGate 81E-PoE appliances. Designed for small-to-medium enterprise networks, it resolves 12 CVEs identified in previous versions and introduces hardware-accelerated threat detection capabilities compatible with the device’s 4 Gbps firewall throughput specification.

Exclusively compatible with FG-81E-PoE hardware (model numbers 81E/81E-POE), this release supports the device’s 128GB SSD storage configuration and RJ-45 console port architecture. Officially published on March 8, 2024, it requires 16GB free disk space for installation validation.
