Introduction to FGT_200D-v5-build1714-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers critical security enhancements and hardware optimizations for FortiGate 200D next-generation firewalls operating on FortiOS v5.6.x. Released under Fortinet’s Extended Support Program in Q3 2016, build 1714 addresses 4 high-severity vulnerabilities while improving memory management for multi-VDOM configurations. Designed for enterprises requiring PCI DSS 3.2 compliance, it enhances logging stability for devices using 16GB flash storage systems.

The update supports both standalone deployments and HA cluster configurations, serving as the final scheduled security patch for FortiOS 5.6.x branch before end-of-support in 2025. It specifically targets 2014-2016 production batches of FortiGate 200D appliances handling 3Gbps+ network traffic loads.
