​​Introduction to FGT_3100D-v6-build0303-FORTINET.out Software​​

The ​​FGT_3100D-v6-build0303-FORTINET.out​​ firmware package delivers enterprise-grade security enhancements for Fortinet’s flagship FortiGate 3100D Next-Generation Firewall. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments, this build focuses on optimizing threat prevention throughput while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy SD-WAN configurations.

Specifically engineered for the ​​FortiGate 3100D​​ chassis (P/N FG-3100D-384-02-18), this firmware resolves memory allocation issues observed in FortiOS 6.0.5 implementations handling 100Gbps+ traffic loads. Official release documentation confirms build 0303 was published on ​​April 7, 2025​​ as part of FortiOS 6.0.6’s Extended Support Program, ensuring 36 months of security updates for PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant networks.
