Introduction to FGT_201F-v7.2.2.F-build1255-FORTINET.out

This firmware release (build 1255) delivers critical security updates and performance enhancements for FortiGate 201F next-generation firewalls under FortiOS 7.2.2. Designed for enterprise branch offices requiring advanced threat prevention, it resolves 14 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s March 2025 security advisory while optimizing resource utilization for hybrid network environments.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 201F (FG-201F) appliances, the firmware requires 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD storage. Released on March 25, 2025, it replaces the deprecated 7.2.1 branch and extends technical support until Q3 2027.
