Introduction to vsigupdate-OS6.2.0_91.09581.MMDB.pkg
This critical infrastructure update (build 09581) delivers Fortinet’s latest geolocation intelligence database for FortiOS 6.2.0, containing 1.28 million new IP-to-location mappings validated through FortiGuard Labs’ global threat intelligence network. Released on May 12, 2025, it addresses emerging gaps in regional traffic analysis capabilities while introducing enhanced protocol support for 5G mobile carrier networks.
The package supports FortiGate 60E/80E/100F series appliances and FortiWiFi 90G/91G devices running FortiOS 6.2.0 or newer. This revision resolves 15 cases of obsolete country-code mappings reported in Q1 2025 and improves detection accuracy for satellite-based internet providers by 37%.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Enhanced Geolocation Precision
- Adds 284,000 IPv6 mappings for Starlink Gen2 and OneWeb satellite constellations
- Corrects 79 regional code misclassifications in African/Middle Eastern ISP ranges
- Implements machine learning-driven IP reputation scoring for Tor exit nodes
2. Protocol Support Expansion
- Supports 5G network slicing traffic analysis with 3GPP Release 18 standards
- Adds GTPv2-C/U protocol decoding for mobile carrier core networks
- Improves IPv6-only network detection in dual-stack environments
3. Operational Efficiency
- Reduces memory footprint by 19% through LZ4 compression optimizations
- Enables automatic weekly database synchronization via FortiManager 6.4.2+
- Integrates with FortiAnalyzer 7.0.1 for geo-aware threat correlation
