Introduction to FGT_80E_POE-v7.0.14.M-build0601-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.0.14 M-Release for FortiGate 80E-POE next-generation firewalls, specifically designed for small-to-medium businesses requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) support and advanced threat protection. Released as a critical maintenance update in Q2 2025, it addresses 9 security advisories while optimizing network throughput for environments with limited IT resources.

The software exclusively supports FortiGate 80E-POE hardware (FG-80E-POE model) running FortiOS 7.0.x. This build (0601) resolves memory allocation errors identified in previous 7.0.14 iterations and introduces hardware-specific optimizations for PoE port management.
