​​Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v6-build1914-FORTINET.out Software​​

This firmware release (build 1914) targets FortiGate 60E POE series appliances, specifically designed for networks requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities alongside enterprise-grade security. As part of FortiOS v6.4.11 branch updates, it addresses critical vulnerabilities while optimizing PoE management and threat prevention efficiency. The update is validated for FG-60E-POE models with integrated PoE ports, making it essential for environments deploying IP cameras, VoIP systems, or wireless access points.

The “v6” designation confirms compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x, while “POE” identifies specialized support for Power over Ethernet configurations. Released in Q4 2024, this build aligns with Fortinet’s security advisory FG-IR-24-423, resolving 15 CVEs documented in recent threat intelligence reports.
