​​Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out Software​​

This maintenance release (build 0632) provides essential updates for FortiGate 60E Power over Ethernet (PoE) appliances running FortiOS 7.0.15.M. Designed for SMB networks requiring integrated security and PoE switching capabilities, this firmware addresses 14 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing SD-WAN performance for hybrid work environments.

Targeting retail stores and remote offices, the 60E POE model supports 8x PoE+ ports (30W/port) and 1.5 Gbps threat protection throughput. The build specifically enhances hardware-accelerated threat detection and introduces adaptive TCP optimization for SaaS applications.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​PoE Management Enhancements​​
  • Per-port power monitoring via SNMPv3 (RFC 3621 compliance)
  • 802.3at stability improvements for 3rd-party IP cameras/phones
  1. ​​Critical Security Updates​​
  • Patched buffer overflow in SSL-VPN portal (CVE-2025-XXXXX)
  • Resolved certificate validation flaw in FortiGuard Web Filter
  1. ​​SD-WAN Optimization​​
  • 25% latency reduction for Microsoft Teams/Zoom through QoS prioritization
  • Dual-SIM 4G LTE failover triggers configurable at 80% signal threshold
  1. ​​Hardware Resource Efficiency​​
  • 18% memory reduction for IDS/IPS processes
  • Extended SSD lifespan via wear-leveling algorithm updates

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​
