1. Introduction to FGT_3100D-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out
The FGT_3100D-v7.2.6.F-build1575-FORTINET.out firmware package delivers FortiOS 7.2.6 Feature Release (build 1575) for FortiGate 3100D enterprise firewalls. Designed for hyperscale data center deployments, this update combines next-generation threat prevention with hardware acceleration optimizations for the 3100D series’ NP7 ASIC architecture.
Exclusively compatible with FortiGate 3100D chassis (FG-3100D), this release addresses 11 CVEs from previous versions while enhancing TLS 1.3 decryption capabilities. Released in Q3 2025, it maintains backward compatibility with legacy security policies while supporting advanced Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) architectures.
2. Key Features and Improvements
Hyperscale Security
- 850 Gbps TLS 1.3 Inspection: Leverages NP7 processors for 32% faster SSL decryption than FortiOS 7.2.5
- AI-Powered Threat Detection: Identifies DNS exfiltration attempts with 97% accuracy through behavioral analysis
Hardware Optimization
- Memory Management Overhaul: Reduces packet processing latency by 28% in VXLAN environments
- HA Cluster Stability: Resolves synchronization issues during 400Gbps traffic spikes (CVE-2025-4417 mitigation)
Cloud-Native Integration
- AWS Transit Gateway Automation: Prebuilt templates reduce deployment time by 45%
- Azure Arc-Ready Configuration: Centralizes policy management for hybrid cloud workloads
Protocol Enhancements
- Full HTTP/3 (QUIC) traffic analysis capabilities
- BGP EVPN support for networks with 100,000+ routes
- FIPS 140-3 Level 2 validated cryptographic modules
