Introduction to FGT_3300E-v6-build1723-FORTINET.out

This critical firmware update addresses 15 security vulnerabilities identified in FortiGate 3300E series appliances operating in hyperscale enterprise networks. As part of Fortinet’s Extended Support Cycle for FortiOS 6.4, build 1723 enhances threat prevention capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with SD-WAN architectures deployed under previous 6.4.x versions.

Optimized for the 3300E platform’s NP6XLite security processors, this release improves SSL/TLS 1.3 decryption efficiency and VDOM (Virtual Domain) resource allocation. Network architects managing multi-tenant environments will benefit from enhanced BGP route convergence times and improved certificate management workflows.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Security Infrastructure Reinforcement​​

  • Mitigation for CVE-2024-3351 (IPSec VPN session exhaustion vulnerability)
  • Updated intrusion prevention signatures covering 38 new IoT/OT device exploits
  • Hardware-accelerated deep packet inspection at 120Gbps throughput

​​2. Network Performance Optimization​​

  • 22% reduction in SD-WAN policy calculation latency
  • Improved TCP session handling for latency-sensitive applications (<100ms threshold)
  • Jumbo frame support expansion to 9216 bytes

​​3. Operational Enhancements​​

  • REST API bulk configuration support for multi-VDOM deployments
  • SNMP trap generation for power supply redundancy events
  • FortiManager 7.4+ compatibility for centralized policy orchestration

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
Hardware Platform FortiGate 3300E/3301E
Minimum Firmware FortiOS 6.4.10+
Management Systems FortiManager 7.2.4+, FortiAnalyzer 7.0.6+
Memory/Storage 64GB DDR4 / 960GB SSD (RAID1)
Chassis Expansion FG-3300E-100G-QSFP28 modules

Requires active FortiGuard Unified Threat Protection subscription. Incompatible with 3200E series hardware due to NP6 processor architecture differences.
