​​Enterprise Deployment Guidelines​​

  1. ​​Pre-Installation Protocol​​:

    • Disable HA clusters during upgrade (25-35min downtime window)
    • Execute configuration backup: execute backup full-config scp

  2. ​​Post-Upgrade Verification​​:

    • Confirm firmware integrity: get system status | grep Build
    • Test NP6 ASIC functionality: diagnose npu np6 health-check

  3. ​​Rollback Procedure​​:

    • Preserve previous firmware in /fgt/rollback directory
    • Execute emergency downgrade: execute restore image FG100EF-v6-build1010.out

​​Licensing Compliance​​: This firmware requires active FortiCare Unified Support License (USL) for legal distribution. Unauthorized redistribution violates Fortinet’s EULA.

Technical specifications derived from Fortinet’s Q1 2025 security advisories and firmware distribution guidelines. Always validate cryptographic checksums before deployment.
