Introduction to FGT_1801F-v7.2.2.F-build1255-FORTINET.out
This critical firmware release enhances network security and operational efficiency for Fortinet’s enterprise-class FortiGate 1800F series firewalls. Designed under FortiOS 7.2.2 framework, build 1255 addresses 14 documented vulnerabilities while introducing hardware-accelerated threat prevention through upgraded NP7 security processors.
Exclusively compatible with 1800F hardware platforms (models: 1801F, 1803F, 1805F), this update supports hyperscale network environments requiring 400Gbps+ threat protection throughput. The firmware aligns with Fortinet’s Q2 2025 security maintenance cycle, though exact release dates follow phased enterprise deployment protocols.
