​Introduction to FSW_108E_FPOE-v7-build0102-FORTINET.out​

This firmware package delivers FortiSwitchOS 7.0.1 for the FortiSwitch 108E-FPOE series, targeting small-to-medium businesses requiring high-power PoE++ capabilities and advanced Layer 2 security. Officially released in Q3 2025 (build 0102), it resolves 9 CVEs while introducing energy-efficient PoE management and hardware-accelerated traffic prioritization. Designed for environments requiring 90W per port PoE++ support, it enables simultaneous power delivery to high-demand devices like WiFi 7 access points and PTZ cameras.

Exclusively compatible with FortiSwitch 108E-FPOE hardware, this update strengthens integration with FortiGate 7.6.x firewalls for automated Security Fabric policies.
