Introduction to FGT_1801F-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out
This firmware package delivers critical security and performance enhancements for FortiGate 1801F (FG-1801F) enterprise firewalls, designed for high-traffic networks requiring multi-gigabit threat prevention and application control. As part of FortiOS 6.4.x legacy branch, build 2030 addresses critical vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with configurations deployed under FortiOS 6.2.x/6.0.x.
The release targets organizations in sectors like telecommunications and cloud service providers, where extended validation cycles and legacy protocol support are prioritized over feature upgrades. While newer FortiOS 7.x versions exist for other models, this build remains essential for environments using hybrid SD-WAN architectures with BGPv4 routing.
