3. Compatibility and Requirements
| Component | Supported Versions | Deployment Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FortiOS | 6.0.0 – 6.4.2 | Incompatible with 5.6.x branch |
| Hardware Platforms | FG-100F/200F/600F/1800F | Requires 4GB free storage |
| Virtual Environments | VMware ESXi 8.0+, KVM 7.2+ | Disable HA clusters during update |
Critical Dependencies:
- Requires IPS engine version 4.1.5560+ for full signature activation
- Incompatible with legacy antivirus profiles using SHA-1 hashing
4. Limitations and Restrictions
-
Geographical Constraints:
- Russian threat intelligence limited due to data sovereignty regulations
- Middle East regional protections require separate MMDB.MEA package
-
Performance Impacts:
