Introduction to FGT_1800F-v6-build6927-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware package delivers enterprise-level security enhancements and operational optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 1800F next-generation firewall platform. Released under FortiOS 6.4.14 (build 6927), it addresses 11 critical CVEs while introducing enhanced threat intelligence capabilities for large-scale network deployments.
Designed specifically for the FortiGate 1800F chassis (FG-1800F, FG-1800F-DC), this update requires minimum hardware revision D and FortiManager 7.0.2+ for centralized policy orchestration. The firmware maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2 configurations but mandates 16GB RAM and 128GB SSD storage for full functionality.
