​​Introduction to FGT_100D-v6-build1234-FORTINET-6.2.9.out​​

This firmware release (​​FGT_100D-v6-build1234-FORTINET-6.2.9.out​​) provides critical maintenance updates for FortiGate 100D series firewalls running FortiOS 6.2.9. Designed as a cumulative security patch, it addresses 17 CVEs while preserving compatibility with legacy network infrastructures. The build specifically targets organizations requiring extended support for FortiOS 6.2.x deployments, particularly those with compliance mandates prohibiting immediate upgrades to FortiOS 7.x.

Compatible exclusively with FortiGate 100D hardware (P/N: FG-100D), this release maintains the device’s 1 Gbps firewall throughput capacity while resolving operational stability issues reported in previous builds. System administrators managing hybrid networks will appreciate its backward-compatible security policies and enhanced synchronization with FortiManager 6.2.x ecosystems.
