Introduction to FGT_1801F-v7.4.0.F-build2360-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.4.0 for FortiGate 1801F next-generation firewalls, designed for enterprise networks requiring high-performance threat protection and zero-trust architecture implementation. Released in Q3 2024, build 2360 introduces critical security enhancements while optimizing hardware-accelerated workflows for environments with up to 185 Gbps firewall throughput.

The software targets FortiGate 1801F appliances equipped with NP7 security processors, supporting 45 Gbps IPsec VPN performance according to Fortinet’s lab benchmarks. It maintains backward compatibility with configurations from FortiOS 7.2.x deployments but requires FortiManager 7.4.0+ for full Security Fabric synchronization.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Security Architecture Updates​​

  • Removed SHA-1 certificate support for web management interfaces, requiring Fortinet_GUI_Server or SHA-256+ certificates

  • Dynamic buffer allocation for asymmetric 100G/25G interface configurations
  • Hardware-accelerated QUIC protocol analysis

​​3. Operational Enhancements​​

  • Multi-admin session locking with RBAC granularity
  • REST API response optimization (average 200ms/1,000 objects)
  • Automated configuration backups pre-upgrade

​​4. Compliance Updates​​

  • Enforced DDNS entry limits (64 entries for high-end models)
