Introduction to FGT_1800F-v6.M-build2092-FORTINET.out.zip
This firmware update delivers critical security hardening and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s high-performance FortiGate 1800F next-generation firewall platform. Designed for enterprise data centers and large-scale networks, it enhances threat prevention capabilities while maintaining compatibility with FortiOS 6.4.x Extended Support frameworks.
The software targets FortiGate 1800F, 1800F-3G4G, and 1800F-DC hardware models. Based on FortiOS 6.4.17 codebase patterns observed in related builds (e.g., FGT_1700F-v6.M-build2085-FORTINET-6.4.17.out), this release addresses vulnerabilities documented in Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security advisories. While no official release date is published, build2092 aligns with Fortinet’s November 2024 security patch cycle for extended-support devices.
