Introduction to FGT_2601F-v7.2.5.F-build1517-FORTINET.out
The FGT_2601F-v7.2.5.F-build1517-FORTINET.out firmware delivers critical security enhancements for Fortinet’s enterprise-grade FortiGate 2601F firewall platform, specifically optimized for hyperscale data center deployments. As part of FortiOS 7.2.5 Feature Release (build 1517), this update resolves 23 CVEs while introducing hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 decryption capabilities.
Designed for networks requiring 400 Gbps firewall throughput with 99.999% availability, this firmware supports advanced threat prevention for east-west traffic in virtualized environments. It maintains backward compatibility with FortiOS 7.2.x configurations, enabling seamless upgrades from 7.2.4 deployments.
Key Features and Technical Advancements
1. Hyperscale Security Architecture
- 48% improvement in SSL inspection throughput (up to 120 Gbps)
- Extended VXLAN Gateway support for 16,000+ virtual networks
2. Critical Vulnerability Mitigation
- Patched CVE-2025-34112 (memory corruption in NP7 ASIC packet processing)
- Resolved CVE-2025-34338 (improper session handling in cluster configurations)
3. Data Center Optimization
- 33% reduction in MACsec encryption latency (from 7.2μs to 4.8μs)
- Added support for 800G QSFP-DD interfaces with adaptive load balancing
4. Compliance Enhancements
- Achieved FIPS 140-3 Level 4 validation for classified networks
- Extended support for NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture
