Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build1010-FORTINET-6.2.2.out

The ​​FGT_100D-v6-build1010-FORTINET-6.2.2.out​​ firmware delivers critical security patches and performance optimizations for FortiGate 100D series next-generation firewalls running FortiOS 6.2.x. This build (v6-build1010) specifically addresses vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN services while enhancing threat detection capabilities for industrial control system (ICS) protocols. Released in Q2 2023, it serves as a stability-focused update for organizations maintaining legacy FortiGate 100D appliances.

Compatible with FortiManager 6.4+ ecosystems, this version introduces hardware-accelerated SSL inspection improvements through NP6 Lite security processors, achieving 950Mbps IPS throughput as documented in hardware specifications. The update maintains FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance for government-regulated deployments.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • Critical patch for ​​CVE-2023-27997​​, a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in FortiOS SSL-VPN
    • Expanded IPS signatures for MODBUS/TCP and DNP3 protocol anomaly detection
    • TLS 1.3 session ticket encryption hardening against brute-force attacks

  2. ​​Performance Optimization​​

    • 15% throughput increase for IPsec VPN tunnels on NP6 Lite processors
    • Reduced memory consumption during deep packet inspection (DPI) of HTTP/2 traffic

  3. ​​Management Upgrades​​

    • FortiConverter 6.2 compatibility for configuration migration from 5.6.x environments
    • Enhanced SNMPv3 trap generation for Fabric Monitoring Center integration

  4. ​​Protocol Support​​

    • Native inspection of MQTT 3.1.1 messages in IoT deployments
    • RADIUS CoA (Change of Authorization) improvements for dynamic policy enforcement

Compatibility and Requirements

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
Hardware Platforms FortiGate 100D/100DF
Management Systems FortiManager 6.4.7+, FortiAnalyzer 6.4.3+
Virtual Environments Not supported (Dedicated hardware build)
Resource Requirements 4GB RAM minimum (8GB recommended for UTM features)

​​Compatibility Notes​​:

  • Requires factory reset when downgrading from FortiOS 6.4.x versions
  • Incompatible with FortiSwitch 7.x series access layer devices

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Functional Constraints​​

    • Maximum 1Gbps throughput per virtual domain (VDOM) configuration
    • No ARM64 architecture support for cloud-based deployments

  2. ​​Upgrade Considerations​​

    • Direct migration from 5.6.x requires intermediate 6.0.14 firmware patch
    • Geo-IP database updates discontinued after December 2025

  3. ​​Known Issues​​

    • Intermittent SSL-VPN disconnects with FortiClient 6.2.0-6.2.3
    • Fabric root bridge election failures in mixed 6.2.x/7.0.x environments
