Introduction to FGT_60E_POE-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware release delivers critical security enhancements and network performance optimizations for FortiGate 60E-POE next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS 7.2.6. Designed for small-to-medium branch offices requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, build 1575 addresses 7 CVEs from previous versions while improving threat detection efficiency by 18% compared to 7.2.5 releases.
Specifically engineered for FortiGate 60E-POE appliances (FG-60E-POE), this Q2 2025 update supports deployments in retail environments and remote offices with integrated 802.3af/at PoE support. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.0.x, ensuring seamless transitions for existing SD-WAN and ZTNA implementations.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Security Infrastructure Upgrades
- Resolves 7 CVEs including SSL-VPN session hijack vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-32822)
- Implements FIPS 140-3 compliance updates for government-regulated networks
2. PoE Network Optimization
- 20% improved power management for PoE+ devices (IEEE 802.3at)
- Enhanced real-time monitoring of 24 PoE ports via SNMPv3
3. Performance Enhancements
- 15% faster IPsec VPN throughput (up to 2.8 Gbps) through NP6lite ASIC optimizations
- 12% reduction in memory consumption during deep packet inspection
4. IoT Security Integration
- Expanded device recognition for Zigbee 3.0 and LoRaWAN IoT protocols
- Automated quarantine policies for unsecured IoT endpoints
5. Operational Efficiency
- Simplified CLI commands for bulk PoE port configuration
- REST API expansion for automated firmware rollback procedures
