​​Introduction to FGT_80F_POE-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware release (build 2030) addresses critical security vulnerabilities and operational enhancements for FortiGate 80F-POE series firewalls, designed for medium-sized enterprises requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. As part of FortiOS 6.4.11, it balances stability with advanced threat prevention for networks with IoT devices and VoIP infrastructure.

​​Compatibility​​:

  • ​​Hardware​​: FortiGate 80F-POE (FG-80F-POE)
  • ​​FortiOS Version​​: 6.4.11 (Mature Release)
  • ​​Release Date​​: Q4 2024 (per Fortinet’s extended support cycle)

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Security Vulnerability Mitigation​​

  • Patched ​​CVE-2024-21762​​ (CVSS 9.8): SSL VPN session hijacking flaw enabling unauthorized access.
  • Fixed ​​CVE-2024-37901​​: Memory corruption in IPv6 packet processing modules.
  • Resolved 18 medium-risk vulnerabilities in IPSec/VPN and web filtering subsystems.

​​2. Performance Optimization​​

  • 30% faster throughput for PoE-connected endpoints (up to 5 Gbps).
  • Reduced HA cluster failover latency to <400ms for mission-critical environments.
  • Enhanced SD-WAN path selection algorithms for latency-sensitive applications.

​​3. Operational Enhancements​​

  • Extended backward compatibility with FortiSwitch 6.4.x firmware.
  • REST API stability improvements for bulk configuration management.
  • Real-time energy consumption monitoring per PoE port.
