Introduction to FGT_3201F-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out Software
The FGT_3201F-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers critical updates for Fortinet’s FortiGate 3201F next-generation firewall, part of the FortiOS 7.2.6 security platform. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments, this build (1575) addresses 13 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing hardware resource allocation for environments requiring 100Gbps+ throughput and advanced threat prevention.
Exclusively compatible with the FortiGate 3201F appliance, this release focuses on operational efficiency in software-defined network architectures. While the official release date remains undisclosed, version sequencing aligns with Q2 2025 security patches observed in other 7.2.x branch devices like the 1101E and 600D series.
