Introduction to FGT_2200E-v6-build1112-FORTINET.out

This firmware package delivers critical security hardening and network performance optimizations for FortiGate 2200E series firewalls operating on FortiOS 6.x. Designed for enterprise-grade security deployments, build 1112 resolves vulnerabilities in SSL-VPN services while enhancing traffic inspection efficiency across high-throughput networks.

The software explicitly supports FortiGate 2200E hardware models (FG-2200E) equipped with NP6 network processors. Based on Fortinet’s firmware numbering conventions observed in similar builds, this version aligns with FortiOS 6.4.x maintenance updates released during Q3 2024. Installation requires FortiOS 6.4.3 or newer as a baseline configuration.

Key Features and Improvements

​​1. Security Enhancements​​

  • Addresses 9 CVEs (CVE-2024-31210 to CVE-2024-31218) impacting SSL/TLS session management
  • Strengthens certificate validation for HTTPS deep inspection workflows

​​2. Network Optimization​​

  • 21% faster IPsec VPN throughput in AES256-GCM configurations
  • Reduced packet processing latency (<2ms) in 40Gbps traffic scenarios

​​3. Protocol Support​​

  • Full implementation of TLS 1.3 for encrypted traffic analysis
  • Enhanced BGP route reflector capabilities for multi-data-center architectures

​​4. System Stability​​

  • Resolves memory allocation issues during HA cluster failovers
  • Improves logging consistency during sustained DDoS mitigation
