Introduction to FGT_3000D-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out
The FGT_3000D-v6-build1364-FORTINET.out firmware delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for FortiGate 3000D next-generation firewalls, aligning with FortiOS 6.4.14 specifications. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments, this build optimizes threat inspection throughput (up to 950 Gbps) while maintaining 99.999% service availability across 3 million concurrent sessions.
Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3000D chassis systems, this firmware expands Virtual Domain (VDOM) capacity to 1,500 instances and enhances Security Processing Unit (SPU) utilization efficiency. Released under Fortinet’s Extended Vulnerability Protection program in Q2 2025, it addresses 22 CVEs documented in NIST NVD reports, including critical SSL-VPN vulnerabilities.
