Introduction to FSW_124E_FPOE-v7-build0471-FORTINET.out
This firmware update delivers FortiSwitchOS 7.4.1 for the FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE series, designed for enterprise branch offices requiring high-density Power over Ethernet (PoE++) capabilities with enhanced security controls. Released in Q2 2025 (build 0471), it addresses 9 CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated traffic segmentation and dynamic power optimization protocols. The update supports 90W per port PoE++ operation, enabling simultaneous power delivery to WiFi 7 access points and IoT edge devices.
Exclusively compatible with FortiSwitch 124E-FPOE hardware, this version strengthens Security Fabric integration with FortiGate 8.0.x firewalls for automated zero-trust policy enforcement. The firmware package includes critical updates for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection and energy consumption monitoring through FortiAnalyzer 8.2+ integration.
