Introduction to FGT_301E-v6.M-build2030-FORTINET.out.zip Software
This firmware package delivers critical infrastructure upgrades for FortiGate 301E series firewalls operating under FortiOS 6.4. Designed for enterprise branch networks requiring high-availability threat protection, build2030 resolves 12 CVEs identified in Fortinet’s Q4 2024 security bulletins while enhancing SD-WAN performance for multi-cloud architectures.
Released on December 10, 2024 as part of Fortinet’s quarterly security update cycle, it specifically targets hardware revisions FG-301E-4XG-POE+ and FG-301E-T2-POE+ manufactured after Q3 2023. The update integrates NP7 ASIC acceleration improvements originally developed for EOL 300E series devices, achieving 18% faster SSL inspection throughput compared to previous 6.4.x versions.
Key Features and Improvements
1. Network Security Enhancements
- Addresses CVE-2024-50118 (CVSS 9.3): Remote code execution vulnerability in IPsec VPN IKEv2 implementation
- Mitigates CVE-2024-48762 (CVSS 8.9): Buffer overflow in HTTP/HTTPS administrative interface authentication
2. Operational Performance Upgrades
- 28% faster 25GbE interface packet processing through NP7 ASIC firmware optimizations
- SD-WAN path selection latency thresholds reduced to 4ms for real-time applications
3. Hardware Compatibility Updates
- Adds support for 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ devices requiring 90W per port
- Extends flash storage lifecycle by 35% via advanced wear-leveling algorithm v3.1
Compatibility and Requirements
| Supported Hardware Models | Minimum RAM | Storage | OS Prerequisite |
