Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build1112-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers critical security patches and infrastructure enhancements for FortiGate 3000D series enterprise firewalls. As part of Fortinet’s FortiOS 6.x maintenance release cycle, build 1112 targets advanced threat prevention and hardware optimization for hyperscale network environments.

Compatible with FortiGate 3000D/3001D chassis systems (6U modular platforms with 64x 10G SFP+ ports), this version entered controlled distribution in Q1 2024. It prioritizes organizations requiring high-density VPN throughput and encrypted traffic inspection capabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with FortiOS 6.2+ configurations.

Key Features and Improvements

  1. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • Critical patch for buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2024-32757) in SSL-VPN implementation
    • Extended validation for X.509 certificate chains in FIPS-compliant deployments
    • Enhanced deep packet inspection for DNS-over-QUIC protocols

  2. ​​Performance Optimizations​​

    • 30% faster IPsec VPN throughput on NP7 ASIC-enabled models
    • Hardware offloading improvements for 100Gbps interfaces
    • Reduced memory consumption during HA cluster failover operations

  3. ​​Operational Upgrades​​

    • REST API response time reduced by 40% compared to 6.4.5
    • Expanded SNMP MIB support for chassis environmental sensors
    • GUI dashboard enhancements for real-time threat heatmaps

Compatibility and Requirements

Category Supported Specifications
Hardware Models FortiGate 3000D/FG-3000D

Limitations and Restrictions

  1. ​​Functional Constraints​​

    • Maximum 8,000 concurrent SSL-VPN tunnels
    • Hardware acceleration limited to 100Gbps threat protection throughput
    • No backward compatibility with NP6 ASIC-based modules

  2. ​​Upgrade Requirements​​

    • Mandatory intermediate upgrade from 6.2.x versions
    • Incompatible with chassis manufactured before Q3 2021
    • Configuration rollback restricted to previous two firmware versions

  3. ​​Third-Party Integration​​

    • VMware NSX-T plugin requires minimum version 3.2.2
    • Azure Stack HCI integration requires manual configuration
