​​1. Introduction to FGT_1500D-v6-build1175-FORTINET.out​​

This firmware update delivers critical enhancements for Fortinet’s FortiGate 1500D series next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise networks requiring 100Gbps+ threat protection throughput. As part of FortiOS v6 maintenance releases, build 1175 addresses vulnerabilities disclosed in Q1 2024 while optimizing high-availability cluster performance for mission-critical deployments.

The update targets hardware models operating in hyperscale data center environments requiring simultaneous deep packet inspection and SSL decryption capabilities. Based on Fortinet’s firmware lifecycle documentation, this build corresponds to FortiOS 6.2.5 security patches released in February 2024.
