Introduction to FGT_2601F-v7.0.10.M-build0450-FORTINET.out Software
This firmware package delivers critical security updates and performance enhancements for the FortiGate 2601F series under FortiOS 7.0.10.M, released in Q1 2025 as part of Fortinet’s enterprise security maintenance cycle. Designed for high-performance data center deployments, it addresses 15 documented vulnerabilities while optimizing hardware resource allocation for the platform’s NP7 security processing unit.
Specifically engineered for the 2601F chassis architecture, build 0450 introduces adaptive segmentation for hyperscale networks and enhanced threat intelligence synchronization capabilities. The update maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.0.x configurations but requires hardware-specific validation for the 2601F’s 400Gbps interfaces.
