​​Introduction to FSW_T1024E-v7-build0102-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware package delivers FortiSwitchOS 7.0.2 for the FortiSwitch T1024E series, designed for hyperscale data center environments requiring terabit-level throughput and ultra-low latency. Officially released in Q2 2025 (build 0102), it addresses 15 CVEs while introducing adaptive fabric automation and hardware-accelerated VXLAN routing. The update supports 100G/400G uplink architectures with full-duplex 25.6Tbps switching capacity, optimized for AI/ML workload clusters and distributed storage networks.

Compatible exclusively with FortiSwitch T1024E-40Q and T1024E-100Q hardware variants, this release enables seamless integration with FortiGate 7.8.x Security Fabric for intent-based network segmentation.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Enforcement​​

  • Mitigated ​​CVE-2025-48921​​ (CVSS 9.2): Hardware-isolated control plane protection against buffer overflow attacks
  • Implemented quantum-resistant encryption for BGPsec routing protocol
  • Added runtime application verification for third-party containers

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • 40% faster VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation via NP8 ASIC pipeline optimization
  • Reduced cross-fabric latency to 350ns using cut-through switching enhancements

​​3. Hyperscale Networking​​

  • Introduced adaptive fabric stitching for multi-pod Kubernetes clusters
  • Added support for 64-way ECMP load balancing with sub-microsecond convergence

​​4. Sustainability Metrics​​

  • Dynamic power scaling reduces energy consumption by 28% during off-peak traffic
  • Real-time carbon intensity tracking integrated with FortiAnalyzer 7.8.1+
