​​Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build0549-FORTINET.out.zip​​

This firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements and network performance optimizations for FortiGate 3000D series next-generation firewalls, designed for hyperscale data center deployments. Released under FortiOS 6.4.15 on May 15, 2025, this build addresses 19 documented vulnerabilities while introducing hardware-accelerated threat prevention capabilities for 100Gbps network environments.

Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3000D chassis (P/N FG-3000D), the update maintains backward compatibility with configurations created in FortiOS 6.4.12 and later. The 1.2GB compressed file includes SHA-256 checksum validation (f8e3d…a92c) to ensure cryptographic integrity during distribution.
